“No Longer Available” is where we start.
I'm Shane Danielson. I run an email-only sourcing desk for the parts your regular suppliers have given up on — discontinued, backordered with no date, or never sold on this continent in the first place.
You send a part number. I search it thoroughly — for European car parts, across Europe; for mining and heavy equipment, across North America and Europe too — and come back with one landed price and a realistic date, or a straight answer that it's truly gone. No charge if I can't find it.
Two kinds of stuck
European auto parts
For Lower Mainland repair shops: NLA trim and modules, Euro-only variants, NOS electronics, seal sets — sourced from factory heritage stock, the big German houses, breakers, and the sellers who never list in English. Local shops: I can hand-deliver.
Mining & heavy equipment
For juniors, contract miners, drilling contractors, quarries and rebuild shops: parts for discontinued and orphaned equipment lines, obsolete electronics and controls, surplus and NOS — hunted through OEM surplus dealers, auctions, and rebuild networks across Canada, the US and Europe.
How it works
- Email the part number (and the machine or car it belongs to). That's the whole intake — no forms, no phone tag. I'm the email, not the call.
- I search, properly. Give me up to two business days on a normal request. You'll get one reply: a quote, or an honest "it's gone."
- One landed price. Part, freight, duty, taxes — all-in, with photos so you can judge condition yourself. You see the quote before any money moves.
- You say "go," you pay, I order. The part lands verified. If it ever arrives wrong, that's my problem, not yours.
What "thorough" means here
My current hunt list runs from everyday NLA clips and modules to a pair of pre-merger AMG 32-valve “Hammer” heads — fewer than 50 of those engines were ever built. Some hunts end in a find. Some end in an honest "it's gone." None end at the first "no longer available."
The promises
- No charge if I can't find it.
- One landed price, quoted before any money moves.
- Photos with every quote — judge the condition yourself.
- Genuine parts, verified before I order.
- If a part lands wrong, it's my problem, not yours.
- A real person, in Delta, whose name is on the business.

Email only — that's by design. It keeps the desk fast and the prices sane.
