I’m currently saving up for various car parts for an older car. I’d been using an american site like rockauto as it was easy to filter out and find the exact part I need.

Are there any Canadian alternatives I can look for?

    I just bought next year’s stuff on RockAuto: air filters, wiper blades, Wix oil filters etc. Even with shipping and exchange it was massively cheaper than any Canadian option. I’m sure the reciprocal tariffs on auto parts will affect that but that’s why I ordered ahead.

    I’m all for buying Canadian, but none of this stuff is made in America and any Canadian site isn’t getting the bulk discounts RockAuto is getting.

    Edit: With all the wildfire smoke my cabin air filter was black with soot. Couldn’t believe it. My air filter didn’t look any better. Just a gentle reminder to check them if you’re around wildfires.
