I love FCP - Why Buy Parts Anywhere Else?

Post by **rspi** » 05 Aug 2017, 21:13

I ALWAYS encourage people to purchase parts from companies that support the brand. They stock parts that Volvo dealerships don't even stock.

Other companies offer a great warranties as well. The only hard thing to me is the time it takes for parts to arrive in NM, 10 to 15 days is a long wait.

Walked in and got a 2nd free replacement for a large can of Pentosin DOT4 brake fluid,
flushing all of our cars. Had to fill out a form this time but no trouble, they looked up
and read me all the invoice numbers etc.

Volvo is running Castrol 10W-30 from them and I have gotten a free replacement.

Our other cars are running LquiMolly 5W-30 and I also got free replacements of it.

We just sold our BMW , replaced with a nice xc90, amd reviewing the parts records I got FreeCP on..

Two sets of front brakes
One set rear brakes
Cooling group
Pcv group
Lots of brake fluid
4 coolant flushes
Two bottles transfer case fluid
Numerous wiper blades

About $2000 in parts/fluids

We spent about $6000 in parts over 170,000 miles driven….. or 3.5 cpm? Seems cheap

I think that's pretty reasonable!

I think that is very reasonable. I think it goes towards showing that when a car is actually 'maintained', even BMW's can be reliable and not too expensive to own.

Good to see it has found a new home to hopefully continue on.
