stihl parts

[stihllovinit]

My boss is sending me to a small engines course to be a "in house mechanic" on all the chainsaws, blowers, and spray rigs when an issue presents itself. Currently im just the guy who fixes most things and has the best knowledge of these little motors and their components, however we have all Stihl saws and blowers and the parts for replacement are not consistent on ebay or other sites. My question is, does anyone know of a replacement parts site that has everything consistently... not like "hey i have some spare parts off of, whatever". I just need a reliable place to purchase what i need, when i need it, and know it will be there. Any help would be AWESOME at this point, thanks guys and looking forward to your replies. Cheers!

Just curious, what's wrong with getting parts from... The stihl dealer? I do the same thing at our company and I have a computer file with stihl schematics and part #s, so all I do is call and order everything I need and one of our estimators picks them up. Best thing is if the part is occasionally wrong it's still in the bag an stihl swaps it.
Just be careful regarding liability, if something you work on fails and someone is hurt or property damage then what?

if you want stihl parts then buy from a stihl dealer , sure you pay more but at least the parts most times are real not off shore junk,

Thanks for the quick replies guys, and yeah i think i came to terms with just ordering from a local dealer. Ehp, you have a good point, it is a little more money but the time and energy spent online is worth it...Im sure you guys understand what i mean. My boss also said that was cool with him since it was local and we can just pick it up same day if in stock. The next task is getting a computer file with stihl schematics and part #s like bigwood has. Thanks guys, and let me know where to get the program bigwood if you don't mind. Climb safe, CHEERS!
