Anyone here know of any authorized Tanabe dealers in or around the GTA?
Just a hunch, but does Tanabe only deal in Japan and US?
Thanks

What parts do you want? most authorised dealers wont have stock on certain low volume items, especially in Canada… JRP is the only company i can think of that would have any inventory.
I have access to some Tanabe items, i sold a set of Tanabe Pro7 coilovers last year… gorgeous but crazy expensive… $2400+ given the exchange rate today.
Looking for a step down from those. Can you find get Tanabe Sustec 5s?
i could… but i dont want to…lol
There are so many reasons not to get that stuff… if you have issues with them i cant help you… If you get Stance, which is better than than Sustec 5 i can help you after the fact.
heck, even if there is a canadian dealer for Tanabe, they wont be able to offer much post–purchase support on Tanabe. That is the primary reason why the big boys are losing market share. to expensive and unresponsive to get help after the fact.
I bet those coilovers are special order through any channel in Canada, meaning final sale.
Yea i understand the customer service problem which is why i was looking specifically for authorized dealers. Thanks for the help, i’m gonna keep looking around and researching.
After trying to get you the original info you were looking for I learned some stuff. JRP used to deal with Tanabe. They had an exclusive Canadian deal with them. Tanabe subsequently started selling to Keystone. When JRP heard of this deal they dropped them. Now know one deals with them drirectly in Canada that I can find.
Thanks for the help man. I was planning on a visit to JRP tomorrow but i think i’ll just call them now instead. Thanks Intense.
Also seeking CUSCO dealers now!
cal just buy stance you ricer
cause clearly i drive like one. right peter?
seriously though any one who can source cusco or tanabe?
anyone who sells keystone stuff can get tanabe, so try overdrive automotive, i used to be able to get the stuff but now i dont work at mild 2 wild so sorry. jrp can still get u tanabe stuff through keystone as well
Thanks, i’ll give overdrive a call.
