* Junkyards/Auto Recyclers: This is often the cheapest option. Search online for junkyards in your area that specialize in Dodge vehicles. Call ahead to confirm they have a Stratus and the part is available.
* Online Parts Retailers: Websites like eBay, Amazon, RockAuto, Car-Part.com, and others specialize in used and new auto parts. Search using the year, make, and model of your Stratus. Be sure to check reviews and seller ratings.
* Local Auto Parts Stores: Stores like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA Auto Parts, etc., may have the part in stock or be able to order it for you. You'll likely need to provide your vehicle's VIN for accurate part matching.
* Dodge Dealerships: As a last resort, you can try a Dodge dealership. They'll have the correct part, but it will likely be the most expensive option.
Important Considerations:
* Part Number: If possible, find the part number for your gas filler tube. This will significantly speed up the search process at any of the above locations. You can usually find this information in a repair manual or online parts diagrams (some are free, others require a subscription).
* Condition: When buying a used part, carefully inspect it for damage before purchasing. A damaged filler tube could lead to fuel leaks.
Remember to always handle fuel-related parts with care to avoid fire hazards.
