    Miata parts store in Las Vegas?

    So I was searching around craigslist when I saw this ad http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/pts/462519185.html . Anybody in the Vegas area every heard of or seen this shop in person? If so is it a good place to get parts?

    So in a couple of days I'm going to check this place out since I need a new alternator and they sell them for $50. I'm curious if you guys want me to tell them about the forums?

    Why not?
    I dont see any risk for collateral damage.

    Sorry late to the party on this one. Took alternator to Automotive Rebuild Exchange, 1606 S Commerce St, Las Vegas. Under the Stratosphere.
    Dropped it off at 10:00am, picked it up at 2:00pm. New brushes and a paint job. Out the door for $91.
    Since it came off MY car it went right back on. Love OEM.
    Also any luck on parts?

    Original link is loooong since dead. Was this post about miatapartssource.com? I met Sam and Lee, the owners, they seem like legit dudes. Build racecars, rebuild complete cars, engine swaps, restoration, they do it all from a stock of parts from salvaged cars.

    I'm going to have them install a complete A/C system into my NA8 soon.

    Cj10: Yes more than likely that was for Miatapartssource. Good and knowledgeable people. Sammy has tons of parts for our early cars. And they have access to MazdaSpeed parts.

    I had them install a new clutch, rear main seal, transmission seals and motor mounts last month. Very happy!
