Alain Levesque at Summit Mazda in Vancouver, BC has been an excellent, and cost effective resource for all of my parts needs. Especially all of those "hard to find parts" for my Anniversary Edition RX-7. I have bought parts from Al over the last ten years, and have always been happy with the high level of service he has provided. Best of all, he is totally willing to ship parts to me 1200 km's away!
