Malloy Mazda is better..

Ray Crowe at Malloy used to get a visit from me about every weekend when I was buying parts to redo my engine.

His number is 703-490-8170

Ask for Ray in Mazda parts. I am pretty sure that he has the best prices anywhere stateside.

Another alternative is to join Mazda Motorsports if you are into the racing gig. Two events per year, autocrosses included, and you can buy parts for what dealers pay for them.

Ya, Ray Crowe is awsome, I've recently spent about $3K on gaskets, hoses, and a reaman from Malloy Mazda and his service was excellent. I called to order some more gaskets and he offered to overnight them for free, and he threw in an oil filter too.

You can also use 888-533-3400 so you don't have to call long distance
