The great thing about hot tubs, Jacuzzis, and spas in today’s world is the quality of the parts you buy has more to do with the brand than the repair shop. Where you choose to buy your replacement parts has a lot more to do with quality of service and fast shipping than it does the literal quality of the parts themselves. A good spa parts company can help you fix your spa yourself, quickly and effectively, for a lot less money than you would pay to have someone come out to do it.
Brand Names
For an owner of a spa or hot tub, the most important thing for you to bring with you when buying parts is the brand name and the model of your unit. Some places, online and with store fronts, specialize in particular brands. Therefore, you may not be able to get the part you need there if yours is not that specific brand. If you bought your hot tub within the last five to 10 years, this should not be a difficult search.
Helping the Novice and the Expert
Chances are if something has broken down with your hot tub, it is not a rare problem. Though the tendency today is to use the search engines to find out how to replace a part, looking at a printout of a web page and trying to apply it to your situation can be tricky. A good company that sells spa parts is going to have what you need and the individualized help to go with it. Some online stores even have a way to email photos and have a representative tell you exactly what you need and how to install it yourself.
Large Inventory
Though the main brand names of spas and Jacuzzis are carried by all spa parts stores that does not mean every single part is available. In fact, sometimes they will have a full engine or circuit board available for purchase but not the small part of that same engine for sale on its own. There are large inventories with all the other great customer service and availability you need. You just have to find them.
Trustworthy
Spend some of that search engine time looking up reviews for the place you are ordering from. Pay special attention to the reviews written by people with the same problem as you to ensure you choose the right store.
