Door Actuator, best price online...
I'm in need of a passenger door lock actuator for my 06 coupe...
Whats the consensus on the store/site with the best prices? Thanks! :biggthumpup: |
You can find some local shop and ask them for the price to repair your door lock.
I got a pretty good deal from my local shop. They offer me 130 to fix it, but I do not have time to go and have them fix it tho. They told me that they can get lower price for the parts. You should go and hit up with some of your local car repair shop. eBay and some other site are selling them around 150-160. |

I actually had him install the kit on my car and it failed....went back a second time to have it fixed, and now it has failed again....
I'd rather not go through the trouble time and time again to save a few bucks....you get what you pay for... Both my doorlocks went out withing months of eachother. I'm pretty handy so ordered a set from partsexpress.com and watched josh's tutorial on youtube and did them both myself. Total cost for both doors was $23 dollars (had to buy an aluminum rod of sort from Lowes for my bracket. But afterwards if they were to fail, like yours did, the actuators are 5 bucks a piece... easy! |

Worse case, you can try the $5 way and say you did and then buy the 170 piece online afterwards. For me, it was a no brainer going the route I did. I guess its just what you are most comfortable with.:biggthumpup: |

Steezy: It's not about how "simple the concept is" or how fast it is to install...its the fact that your risking the fact that it can very easily fail on you and youll be stuck with either a door that wont lock or a door that wont open... Unfortunately its really not worth the money saved for me in my opinion....no matter how easy it is to fix again, etc... And also realize that the fix you get from that mcguyver kit you actually have to drill an extra piece into the door and have other wires hanging etc....more parts = more parts that can fail, etc... I'll stick with the OEM door lock....the stock one lasted me over 100k not too bad if you ask me....as long as the new OEM lock lasts me another 100k im good |
plus id hate to be the new owner of the car and come across this issue and getting ready to fix it himself only to see the odd little home made kit in the door. it would really sadden me as a used car buyer lol
|
^^ Lmao you beat me to it.. I just picked up my G in February and the drivers door lock works only sometimes so the actuator is prob on it's way out... I'd be pretty sad if I opened up that door panel to see some hick job done with that $5 fix lol.

I'd have to dig it up, but I think it was from a dealer in Arizona. Have you found it cheaper? |
