Which company ships out orders the quickest and which one has the best prices on shipping? I plan on ordering a few things from either of these sites but I wanted to hear your experiences.

I have always had good luck with mcgeorge parts. Their sales department is extrememly nice, friendly and fast. I would call to check up on my order and the sales person on the phone seemed to always be the one filling my order and was very polite even after a few phone calls a day. One another note, I have never heard anything negative about trdsparks.com, so i think it is up to you. As far as sale prices and shipping prices, just check each website, they are always running specials, some even with free shipping. Just spend a little time finding the best prices and you can't go wrong with eithert company.

i bought my b&m short shifter from trd sparks..after placing my order online i received a call from them stating i didnt fill out the order correctly, i gave them the correct info on the phone, then 2days later got another call they said my order will be at my door step in a few days (which it was) they are very friendly and great for answering questions..i highly recommend them...i just wish they would carry more brand of parts for are cars.

Sparks Scion always has a ton of stuff in stock. Its local for me so I've seen the pile in their stockroom. And Josh is up on everything going on in the import world, especially Scion.

Moved to Dealer Exp... :lalala:
I think they're both pretty good. Only difference is that McGeorge will take gift card orders over the phone. Sparks does not take them at all.

I would highly recommend Sparks Scion. Just today I ordered a tC lip spoiler and as usual Ken was nothing but friendly and helpful. I don't even price hunt anymore because Sparks is never more expensive than anyone else. Personally I feel their customer service is second to none. I recognize that I am biased towards this company but isn’t that the point of the thread? Go Sparks and you won’t regret it.

You might also want to take a look at Bob Bridge Toyota for parts. I've been buying parts for my Toyota pickup from them for years. They have always had the cheapest prices on OE parts for my truck. I've been shopping around for the OE alarm for my new tC, part# 08586-21811, $279.00 from the local dealer, $234.95 from McGeorges, and $200.88 from Bob Bridge(I could not find the part listed at Sparks). I was also looking at the auto dimming mirror, part# PT374-21050, $280.00 local, $217.00 McGeorges, $217.75 Sparks, and $201.60 from Bob Bridge. Bob Bridge does not list prices for all parts on their website. I had to call to get the prices on both of the parts listed above. I've been very happy with BB in the past and will continue to use them.

Sparks generally has cheaper shipping, and among the best customer service I've ever dealt with -- Ken is the man. Also, their shipping is ridiculously fast.
