Hi everyone,

I've seen this website pop up a few times during parts search: https://www.germaxparts.com/
They describe themselves as an "OEM manufacturer wholesaler", though I've been able to get quotes for individual parts.

Their prices are extremely low: an "OEM" S/C coupler is about 10 bucks vs. almost 200 @Jaguar. Same story with a complete S/C snout which they sell for 135 bucks for vs. 1000+ for a genuine part.

Anyone used them, and if yes what was your experience?

 

No because they seem suspicious? Why is the name a take off on Germany but the company is out of China?
I have been tempted because of what you said but have not had the courage to order anything.

If it sounds too good...

 

I'd tend to agree.

However, we know full well car brands are marking spare parts up massively. For example, on an XE the blind spot monitoring pack was about 600 bucks, and it included four sensors that were otherwise not present on the car. A single replacement sensor is 750 bucks, i.e. a 400% markup at least.

We need a guinea pig !
