Outsouce Buying

Does anyone buy or know of any Mexican, Middle East, Ect. based company that sells parts for our trucks? I figure we can get a hand made, Good quality part for less money.

Thanx in advanced
Mike

Most of the chain store auto parts places (advance, etc) have parts made outside the US. And, for that same reason, it's crap. Quality control is not the same in 3rd world countries as it is here, so you're gonna get what you pay for in almost all cases.

'hey, I got this part real cheap, but it's covered with lead-based paint and was assembled by a 3-year-old'
