Finding car parts in de Bamboo

antlind · Postby **antlind** » July 23rd, 2014, 8:29 pm

Fellas, is there an easy way to find a specific car part in de Bamboo, apart from driving down there are checking each dealer? I guess I could call but is there a list of Bamboo car parts dealers anywhere?
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

There is no easy way. Take a day off and go look for your part.

Look for the place with the sign with your make of car on it. Ie. don't stop by the place with a big nissan sign. And sat for a toyota part.

Best advice for you is to go with the old part that you want to purchase, alot of the places would sell you a part and if it does not work then you get alot of round around back for a refund.

true. especially if you're trying to get through with somebody like Bobby's..damn near impossible
also most of these guys don't always set their price in stone..sometimes they negotiate prices

and this has been mentioned before but check around!! some places down right ridiculous when it comes to price

Just shout from inside your car and they say if they have the part. If not just keep driving. Works for me.

IMO its better to actually go and if they permit you walk around the yard / warehouse. Half of the parts places in the bamboo don't even know what they have in stock. If i'm looking for parts I usually park up by the mosque and literally walk through the bamboo, you tend to find lots of goodies and hard to find parts better that way.

Park your vehicle in a SAFE place and foot it from place to place. If you find you are going too far walking, relocate your vehicle, park safely and walk again. Works for me...
