Elite Foreign Auto Parts

Purchased a used ECU from Rick and Elite almost two years ago and it’s still running strong in my 92 Jaguar XJS. The part which was pretty expensive everywhere I looked, was very competitively priced and came with a 90 day warranty. Fast forward to this summer when I spent an arm and a leg trying to get the car in top running condition. The last thing I wanted to do was spend more money after a costly tune up, new AC compressor install and a bit more. The brakes are acting up and my mechanic tells me that I’m going to need a new ABS pump. I look online and the prices for a used part from private parties are ridiculous with no warranty. I call Rick and his guys again and of course they have one but also at a great price with a tremendous 6 month warranty! Unfortunately upon install, the part starts to sizzle and smoke and my mechanic advises me to not install this part. To make a long story short, although it took some time, Rick was a man of his word and gave me the full refund on the part. Will definitely be doing business with him again as my Jag isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Great priced parts and honest business.

The Owner Steve is a really good guy, unfortunately I cannot say the same about some of the employees that work the yard, THEY ARE VERY RUDE, I have always gotten my saab parts from Elite until now, I was at the yard to buy a speed sensor and was treated like crap. I feel bad for Steve, he worked really hard to establish his business and some his employees are disrespecting his business by being Rude to good customer. Steve, I’m sorry about this bad review but some of your employees don’t deserve to work for you.

All I can say is get out to Elite as fast as you can! RIGHT NOW!!! Steve’s packing it in and he’s wheeling and dealing like crazy. There’s still a great selection of parts, and the deals are so good I’d be embarrassed to tell you the prices he gave me. He’s only going to be open for another month, but stuff is flying off the shelves so I’d get there ASAP. I’ve been coming here for years and years and I’ve always gotten superb service at reasonable prices. If it’s something that needs testing, they’ll hook it up and test it right there on the spot for you. I just got a blower motor (for only 25 bucks!!!) and they hooked it right up to a battery and showed me that it was working. I’m sorry to see this place go, but I’m stocking up on all the parts I need or think I might need because the prices are rock bottom. I suggest you do the same!

I needed a window motor for my Saab convertible and walked away with the whole regulator/​motor and glass for the price of the motor. Steve was so sorry that i had waited so long for the part, he went out his way to make sure everything was in working order and gave me tips on how to do the job myself. Thank you very much !! Great doing business with you.

Steve is the best dude in town. He goes out of his way even when he’s very busy to find the right part for you and gives you the best price in town. I’ve brought my car back from the dead so many times by finding exactly what I need when nobody else had it.

These guys are great! Steve is very nice and reasonable with his prices. I went in and they found the part I needed within minutes. Will come back here for any Saab part I need in the future.

I just bought a radio for my 1993 900 from Steve. Great guy. Great price. Easy to get to. All good reasons to call Steve first when you’re looking for used parts for your vintage SAAB. I’m a fan!

Steve and Elite got me the part I needed quick, same day. The only other options were to have it shipped from online vendors and wait several days. Didn’t have the time to wait and Steve worked (somewhat) with my budget. Drove up there, got the part, done deal. Steve even gave me some additional advice on other auto questions. Will save some $$ b/​c of his great advice. My mechanic loved the part, said it was perfect and the price was cheaper than what he would have paid.
Thanks Steve! Will be a return customer again if needed.

Always had parts available for my 2004 saab 9 – 3 2.0t from heater motor fans to tps sensors +they have tons of my series saab to pull parts from! Always call ahead so they can get the part pulled for you. on my last visit they offered me slice of pizza while my parts when being processed. A+ if your looking for same day parts for your saab they (close at 5pm)

I bought a used Saab. It needed some work. I had no idea how hard it was to find parts. I found Elite in Sun Valley. The owner Steve was very helpful. He found me all the body parts and a few interior details i needed at a great price. My friend who also owns a Saab needed a motor and trans. He was really pleased with the price and selection of this place. I must for Saab owners.

Station in San Diego drove over two hours to get there happy I did, guys (Steve, and Armando) helped me out alot found all the parts I needed and some, when they found out I was military they gave me a deal on the parts, planning to come back soon. And they can ship it to.

I buy all my parts for my saab and porsche from here.
The owner, Steve, is highly knowledgeable and always gives me great prices.
I definitely recommend coming here, located in Sun Valley.

I just spent some time with Steve this afternoon arranging (finally) to rehab my 2001 Saab convertible. This is our 3^rd Saab. The last 2 have made it to at least the 10 year mark and the only reason the 1^st one didn’t was because I was dumb enough to lease instead of buying it and had to trade it in. As the last one (a 94 convertible) was aging I discovered Steve and had him supply me with lots of much needed parts. AWESOME GUY AND PLACE As a woman, I always worry about being worked over (even though I’m 10 times more handy and mechanical than my husband or most guys I know :), but NOT SO HERE!. Steve multitasks like a maniac

I own three Saabs including two new ones and Steve always has parts for me. He always makes the time despite how busy he is. I was also very pleased with the parts as they were basically new. I just wished he were close to the South Bay.

Steve and Armond are awesome! They’ve always had exactly what I needed and at a fair price. If they didn’t have the part I needed already pulled, they would review their inventory and pull it directly from one of their cars. These guys are great!

Elite Auto and Steve, I have been Dealing with this company since I was 13 years old, Looking for a used Power steering rack for my 1984 900, that was over 15 years ago and I am still buying from him to this day, Although the car has changed to a newer version (with AC finally :) He has the New Generation parts in stock for my 2007 Saab 9 – 3 Aero Combi, — Ive looked over a few reviews and I can see why people love this place as well, As for the Negative reviews I’m sure there are two sides of the story, But Steve has always gone out of his way to help me out– Being bargaining on price. Staying after hours for me to get off work. A Few times over the weekend a line starts to form of people looking for parts and they can not help everyone at the same time… I grab lunch across the street at Tommy’s Burger and come back and its Clear… Hmmm Place has a line, I guess they are doing something right… I am a Saab lover and My Family (brother — dad) All drive saabs and we buy the Majority of parts from Steve. Overall for having parts on hand and being knowledgeable to help with issues with the car they are Great…

Love this place. They are able to find parts that nowhere else has for my Saab. I would definitely recommend this place to any Saab owner.

Man, have I been looking for a place like this! Has what you need for your Saab.

for some reason, i was never able to find any pick-​n-​pull places in LA. this place comes close, and is awesome in its own ways. if you have a saab and especially if you work on it yourself, this place is a heavensend. in a word, it’s a saab junk yard, and they have EVERYWTHING from basically every older model. you don’t pull yourself, but you go into their office and tell them what you want and they’ll get it for you. the price is pretty good, but just know that you’ll be getting a used part and it may be defective, but if that’s the case you can bring it back and they’ll give you another one. that’s why this place is super awesome if you work on your own saab. it’s a bit out of the way but worth the drive. i think they also have an ebay store. i’ve also heard of walter wong, the esteemed LA saab mechanic, refer people to this place for parts. all in all, anything from saab floor mats to steering racks, this is the place to come for used parts
