Equivalent of GSF / Euro car parts for Subarus?
This may be a silly question, but is there a company selling general maintenance and service / repair parts for Subaru's in the same way that GSF / Euro car parts do for VW, Audi etc? Or even a reliable main Subaru dealer who can send parts out by mail order?
I've been trying to get hold of some oil cooler hoses and various gaskets / bolts from the local dealer, and I am at the end of my tether. I first phoned them on Monday and have been chasing them every day, but they just can't seem to give me a price for them! It's a UK car, not an import. I desperately need them by the weekend
I previously owned a Golf GTi for 4 years, and could get nearly any part within a couple of days either from GSF or the main dealer, never had this kind of problem

working for a euro/gsf competitor i can say that think theyll stuggle.
parts youre after are far to specialised for a motorfactor to be able to obtain
brakes bearings etc are ok
although adl/blueprint do now have cranks and gaskets available
most would try to by from a dealer and add a bit to the price.
vw are a far larger carpark fill than niche cars like scoobs
my first point of call graham goode as they seem to stock parts like this.

I agree with rutt, graham goodes has performance parts but also has a general parts counter for all types of cars including a lot of non-gen scooby parts.

euros aint the bestg for subarus but we do now have maf sensors,,,,, dont think japarts has them yet
we trying to work on the jap market but its very very hard to source the stuff tbh and get the demand
though if ever you buy a porsche euros have a seperate department that specialises in porsche parts,, they do nothing else but deal with porsche specialists all over the country,,,, the best department in eurocarparts...... but then i would say that pmsl
