I'll agree, although moss itself has always been great with me and fixed
any problems immediately, I find distributors better. First off you are
supporting a small local shop. Secondly they usually have common parts on
hand so that you don't have to wait for shipping. And lastly, if there is
a problem, chances are they will remember you and help you out. In my
opinion the biggest advantage is supporting the local shops, because I
hate the idea of buying a part for a special car from a supermarket size
distrubutor. Even thought they are still Moss parts I like throwing my
business to the private shops because in them lies much expertise and
passion that makes our hobby what it is.
