Where to buy a serpentine belt in Canada?

Hey guys, just wonder where is the best place online to buy a serpentine belt for my 2003 MCS? Just preventative maintenance. Most of the shipping charges to Canada are more than the belt itself. Thanks

Are you looking for a stock belt? You can get the stock one at a NAPA or Bumper to Bumper pretty easy. Gates K060415 is the one you'll be looking for on a stock SC pulley.
Other that that I found Rock Auto pretty cheap to buy from if you buy a few things at one time shipping isn't that bad.

Just go to your local autoparts store...belt should be about $20-25 max...
Commonly available.
Have a pulley? If so it will affect the size belt used.

If have a 15% reduction, the 60535 is about right, or a 17% should use a 60535...both will be very tight...
The stock non-jcw belt is 1388 mm long...pretty sure that makes it a 60547 length....

LOL it's not actually as easy as that in Canada, there are tons of parts on this car that I either had to buy from the dealer (at min 3X the US cost) or order online. Could not get a upper rad hose anywhere in Canada other than the dealer and they wanted $85.

Belts are pretty universal...

100% agree but unless you live here and have actually searched for parts you would be shocked. 1/2 the parts stores here don't stock and wont bring in parts for Mini's period there not in the system. Serious it's a deal.

But yes the belt fits multiple cars, that is why I posted a part number.
