I've also had excellent experience with the local Pontiac dealership. They
can even do an inventory search of local dealerships to see if anyone has it
in stock, although, since the Atlanta parts depot is nearby, I've never had
to wait longer than one day for delivery. If you have the part number any
GM franchise can order for you. Try different dealerships until you find
one with a parts department that will work with you.
