Import parts (such as honda) are always more expensive and dealers have to
make money to support those fancy showrooms. ;-)
I always google for the best value in genuine honda, but I also take into
account aftermarket prices for certain components.

I'm hoping with my CRV that I don't have to do any major repairs for a
while.

No the dealers in Canada take it to whole new level when it comes to prices
VS the dealerships in the US. We're talking 30-50% more for the same exact
part in Canada vs the US from a dealership.

Even on Aftermarket parts, in Canada we pay more. Whatever the market will
bear I guess.
