So.... There was a company called Tousley Ford, where we could get OEM Ford parts for very reasonable prices. Somebody in the company naming department at Tousley Ford watched a few too many native American movies or something, and came up with Auto Nation Ford White Bear Lake - with a dot-com [LINK].

Anyway - more to the real point of this post: Tousley Ford has been a great resource for OEM parts that Riffraff diesel doesn't carry. While assisting a fellow brother, I had the opportunity once more to Google "Tousley Ford" - because I will never in a million years remember that freaking long string of consonants and vowels. Once I got over the name speed bump, I discovered ANFWBL (jeez... even the acronym is long) changed the way they display the parts on the on-line catalog. They are much easier to see, the parts selection is more concise, and the overall feel of the parts section has a better flow to it.

It's worth a visit there, even if you've been there before. Well... particularly if you've been there before. I hope you're not on a mobile device, you're going to wear your screen out with all that typing.

 

Yeah, I just got a gpcm for my excursion from them, couldn't remember the name so Googled "Tousley Ford" and it came up. Great prices on OEM stuff!
Saved 40% or so from local stealership.

 

I bought several new vehicles from them back in the 80's. I remember them being such a high volume dealer, they would get their own personal Special Editions to sell. Even then, they always had the best prices on parts.

 

They actually been Auto Nation for about 10 years. Just finally changed the name about 2 years ago. Auto Nation is a nationwide company.

Use your bookmarks, then you don't have to remember.

 

I just ordered some anti squeak pads from ANWBL to try and cure my squeaky front end. I'm glad to hear they have a good rep. They certainly have the best price on the web for this item.

They've been owned by Autonation for as long time, they just decided to start using that name instead of Tousley.

Yup, just type "Tousley Ford Parts" into the Google search bar and it will give you the correct link. Or, if you're like me and still have the Tousley Ford cookie on your computer, when I start typing Tous... the correct site autofills for me.

Looks like great pricing and easy to use site to me. Thanks for the tip.

I've ordered from them a number of times, and they are great to work with. I've never found lower pricing.

HOWEVER... their parts information is entered by a third party somewhere else (perhaps even overseas), and there are sometimes errors in parts numbers and associated pricing details.

Therefore, what I do to place an order is call them directly and ask to speak with Mike R. who is they guy who manages the web site (or used to, anyway), and seems to be the most knowledgeable. He is great to work with!!

 

Same here, but I ask for Steve.
