What parts are you looking for?

I would start with a parts store to see if the parts are available aftermarket, If not and you still want to buy new parts than you'll be stuck buying from the dealer. If used parts will do than any number of good salvage yards should be able to locate parts for you.

i have looked everywhere. even the dealer wont sell me the parts.they said i had to bring it in and let them fix it.need safty neutral switch and a censor.

[Jeremy airjer W]

Neutral safety switch is available from NAPA (automatic Trans).

Print that page airjer posted out and take it in to them. They will have to eat their words then.

Sounds like they didn't know what they were doing or don't like foreign cars.

[Jeremy airjer W]

Never mind, They list a part number but there is not one in any wharehouse in the U.S.

Local dealer or an online dealer would be you're best.

Rockauto has them available. It looks like they don't got them sitting on the shelf but can have it within 2 days.

Otherwise, I always ordered parts from Kia of Brooklyn Park when I sold parts and they got them for me with no questions asked. They were actually pleasant to work with and I never hesitated to give them a call if the customer didn't want to do the legwork.

The dealers have to sell you parts if you opt to fix it yourself. I can't remember the actual name of the act/law but you always have that option open. They did that so that manufacturers can't monopolize auto repair among other things.

Edit: I know its a bit of a hike from Chisholm but the Grand Rapids O'reilly should be able to get it for you within a day. You could also order from oreilly online too. They have it in stock in the warehouse.

we have Oreily 7 miles away maybe they could get it. kia of brooklny get those parts and ship them up here???

[deadeye]

Kia should be able to ship it. I was working in Golden Valley so they just delivered parts right to me when I ordered them. I would imagine they might charge a few bucks shipping.

Oreillys would definitely be worth a shot. They got 3-4 regional warehouses that service them so it would be pretty quick if not overnight that they would get your parts for you. I'm pretty sure its at the warehouse in Brooklyn Park. It would be overnight for them to get a part to the store if you order before the cutoff (I think it is 3pm).
