I just got a quote from Land Rover of Spokane for $301 for wheel bearings, gaskets, and brake pads. Nathan quoted the same thing for half that. So my question is why do dealers charge so much more than everyone else. Is it overhead, different venders, or is it just plain they don't like selling parts to the do it your selfers. | ||

Nathan ALWAYS has the best price, and it's always genuine parts...got my front left axle, complete, for less than half of what Land Rover wanted for it...Great Customer Service too... Cheers Frank | ||

Parts maybe always genuine if you request such, but I made the mistake of assuming the exhaust gaskets I ordered would be genuine, and they most definately were not. In restrospect, I should have returned them... His Web Site is: http://www.discountrovers.com | ||

Guys, I gotta chime in for Nathan - this guy is pretty damn cool - if he wronged you or gave you any faulty shit, tell him so. I have used him several times and he is WAAAAY lower than AB or the others - Rob, sorry you got cheapy gaskets, but I'd take Nathan to task over it - he's always been super straight up with me and I think its cool to give the independant a clear shot at makin up any mistakes...especially from early on - he's one oif the "good guys" | ||

Nathan and Cindy are absolutely the most trustworthy, customer centric people I've run across on the web. | ||

I have to agree with the positive praise. Long ago when they first started I ordered offroad headlight bulbs. Nathan was out of stock. A couple weeks later I had forgotten about them. Nathan actually called me to let me know he had not forgotten about ME and the bulbs where on the way. It has been a long time but it still remember it. | ||

Yeah with Nathan, I've gotten nothing but great customer service and quick response. I actually called him to pick up some driving lights, he got me a new set withing DAYS, a LR switch, a new VSS, steering stablizer and pads all around. I will honestly probably order everything I can from him. | ||

does he actually stock parts now? Usually when i order it is an emergency and the truck is broken down and i need late hours and Next day air shipping. | ||

Nathan is the BEST. He had everything in stock for my D2 from oil filter to sparkplug wire, fuel filter ABS senor, Driver side mirror. I saved close to 75% from landrover dealer. Excellant service also. Cheers to Nathan | ||

Both Nathan and Will Tillery have been awesome to me. Nathan's getting me parts, camshaft, lifters, oil pump, and other things for around 800, when the dealer quoted me 1640.00 and a few parts were left out of the dealer quote. Will has also been awesome in getting me a short block, for just an increadible price. Thanks to them I won't pay out as much as I owe on the rover to get it running again! Thanks Guys!!! |
