Survey – Parts vendors

[nctransmission]

I buy from 1-10 vendors a week. I have one go-to transmission parts supplier, and one go-to general parts supplier.  In addition, I buy dealer parts and when my arm is being twisted, I buy from salvage yards.

My main supplier of transmission parts gets the largest percentage of my money spent, followed by my general auto parts.  I’m not a big shop, a $50,000 month is huge here.
