I have bought a number of Diamond-specific parts directly from
Premier Aircraft in Florida. They have some of their inventory posted online, or you can call them at 800-903-8402. They are a major Diamond Service Shop and will sell parts directly to the public. In my experience, for parts they have in stock, they tend to be cheaper than buying directly from the factory in Canada.
Same here. Brittany Glassman has been very helpful. Even if a part is not in stock and they have to order from Canada, they will often bundle your order with theirs, saving you the exorbitant shipping cost from Canada. Then you pay only the shipping cost from FL to your home. There used to be a Diamond Service Center called Southwest Texas Aviation at Smithville-Crawford airport (84R) that was only 66 NM from my home field, so I would often fly over to pick up parts when they came in, saving shipping cost entirely (other than Avgas). Unfortunately, they are no longer a Diamond Service Center.
