I've used a few sources in the past that both had great pricing (relatively speaking) for genuine KIA parts. One was CherryHillTriplex and the other was KIAParts.com. One no longer lists the parts catalog online anywhere, the other suddenly went "under construction".

Does anyone else use a reliable source of KIA parts online? I will NOT pay MSRP on any car part at a dealer again.

Thanks!
Their main page is still in "construction" mode. No business from me. Had to get another sensor and went to the dealer for MSRP. Needed it fast, hated spending full ticket....and will continue hating MSRP dealer BS for as long as I own a car. That's the breaks when owning a lower-volume make/model. No OEM support.
I'll end up wasting weeks of waiting time sending emails to recently unmonitored email account at Kiaparts. Someone should at least buy the domain and redirect the URL to World Parts Express or some other Trademotion site.

Kia Parts is owned and operated by Hanson Kia in Olympia, Washington. The dealership is considered a very good one by my Microsoft friends who have business with them. Their site is being overhauled to make for a better browsing experience for the visitor to the site. We should be happy that Hanson has taken on such a project to sell Kia parts for less. Their contact information is below and also found on the web site:

That's really good news, you should copy and paste that paragraph to your default KIAParts.com URL!
