Bap-Geon Import Auto Parts

Ask for McKenney! I have been taking my Altima to a non-​Nissan chain for several years (a review on them later) and with the online coupons and a little negotiating, I have never paid full price for any service — really! So when I was told that the master mechanic couldn’t tell whether I needed to replace just the starter and maybe the relay (which could be one of twenty) at an estimated cost of $ 500, I had to rethink my relationship with the biz. Hubby started making calls based on internet research and gave me a ballpark of what to ask for. I remember my dad doing his own engine repair and purchasing parts from a small list of part shops. Boom! I called All Import McKenney didn’t disappoint. I explained the situation and he told me he could get a refurbished starter for $ 83 + $ 40 deposit for returning the old starter. With a copy of my receipt I would receive that $ 40 back. He said that with the holidays it might take a couple of days but if I needed a starter that day he had a company he could call that would charge $ 165 for the part — almost twice the price but in stock. He said to call him daily and he would check parts deliveries for me. The next day, I called him at 10am and he said he would have it by noon that same day. Hubby paid the fee (s) and after replacing the starter within the hour, went back to visit McKenney with the old starter and rec’d our $ 40 back. Score! My part replacement went from $ 500 to a fraction of that cost. Sure, it helps if you know your way around an engine but many private repair shops will allow you to just pay labor if you bring in your own parts. I have an electrical fan issue (not major) and McKenney assures me he can get the part for just under a bill ($ 100). Totally worth the trek to Northwest Highway and Jupiter (near Lowe’s).
