Hey I'm new to the Halifax area.

I was wondering if there were any good places around here to purchase aftermarket parts for the Cobalt.

and no, Canadian Tire doesn't fit the bill.


cheers.

 

Hey bud. Welcome to Halifax! You won't have too much luck around here. Everyone is into the rice rockets. Its a lot easier and cheaper to buy online. Thats my experience anyway. Look around on some of the vendors sites. They have good prices and they give us canadians a good deal on shipping.

The places i Deal with are:
Allex Automotive in Sackville
Raven Autosports hes in prospect road
Atlantic Car Stereo
And Glubes Speed and Sound

 

You're right about that, but duty fees always ending up killing the deals we Canadians get.

BTW, i found a great place called Autoworld in Dartmouth (714 Windmill Rd). Very nice store and has a lot of products to choose from. The service rep seemed to know what he was talking about too.
I picked up a few bottles of RP Max Gear 75-90 for about $17 ea.

 

Duty would kill an order, but I havn't been hit yet. And i've ordered alot. The best way to do it, is try some of the stores here around town. See what they have for prices. Then check some of the vendors. Include the shipping and give yourself a little room just in case for duty. See who has the better deal. Performance Autoworld over in dartmouth is great store. They know what they're talking about and try to help everyone out. Another good place is Performance Edge in Tantallon. I don't know if its too far out for ya.

Most of the places around hrm are overpriced. Allex out in sackville is probably the best and glubes in dartmouth is also good. Overall you are better off to look online and check sites like ebay. What are you looking to buy. I see you have a stage 2 upgrade and cai. Are you lookin to get a smaller pulley?

 

nah, im going to stay away from engine mods for a few months. im looking to get an air suspension and maybe some audio/video upgrades.

 

I got all my audio/video done at glubes. They do very good work there.

 

yeah with the mods you got you must be very fast anyway.

 

ya the car is pretty fast, but i just suck at driving it. i lose to buses lol.
its the first manual transmission car i've had and learned to drive stick on it.

 

i buy all my audio from Atlantic Car Stereo or Costal Customs.
but i do the instal myself, i have a really nice custom fiberglass 6x9 encloser in my car. if you need help im down.
i try to stay away from video tho, i had tvs, and stillhave one but its not in my car. might put some in after i get a house

 

Yeah i forgot about atlantic car stereo they got good people there also.

 

Great people grate prices!
plus they have financing, with 3 month no intrest no payment!

 

USPS FTW no duties
