Baileys, Ebay are options. Last I knew Stihl doesn't permit its authorized dealers to sell online. Your local dealer pretty much has a captive audience. Many people are blessed with a good dealer, others not so much.

I am not blessed with a good Stihl dealer. The local Stihl guy is a known sleazebag. I have to drive almost 30 miles to get to a good guy. Seems like Stihl is not overly concerned with having ethical people represent them.

You can usually order what you need by phone. I’m surprised Stihl won’t sell at least parts and supplies online. It isn’t 1950 any more, if you don’t do business online you’re not going to be competitive in the long run.

What's wrong with being a "sleazebag"?????

Enter the part number and the brand. Works just fine. Try it again.

It did work better with me being more part number specific, than you

What about all the Stihl replacement parts I see listed on Amazon, are they knockoff parts? Are these parts any good?

Gray market. Factory parts that have probably changed hands a few times. If you had any problems with them Stihl would tell you too bad so sad.

What about the common parts on Amazon like fuel lines, fuel filters, air filters. are they as good as the replacement parts from the Still dealer?

I have bought more than a few Stihl OEM parts from Definitive Dave/Chainsaw Conservation Parts.

I have a decent dealer in town. I bring them part #’s, they order. Not much besides a spark plug or chain in stock is a bit of a bummer though.

No.

They make one hell of a virus.....

 

[hotajax]

No.

I've purchased aftermarket products like lines and other things made of rubber from Amazon. Mostly they suck and lack the flexibility of OEM.

Depends.

So I have wondered the same thing. I guess usually there is one major Distribution center for each district of united states that ships to all authorized dealers. I have thought of ordering parts from the "Distribution center" but I would need to create account with the company. I haven't tried it yet. Although, I looked on their website to see what is available, then I went to a local dealer and had them ordered and receive them within 3 days. Ebay, amazon may take some time bet you pay for shipping. The battle of going to a stihl dealers and not having the stuff in stock.
Ebay, you

They have regional distributors, they have their own pricing, decide what models, products, etc. that they will sell. They make the decisions on warranty. Not sure how they do the spring orders these days, I imagine the pallets are put together at the factory, and shipped directly to the dealers, that may be why one dealer has plenty, and others have none. The one that made the big spring/fall orders may have got them all.
