Auto Parts: Interchangable Parts??, isuzu rodeo, honda passport

Question
I have a 96 Isuzu Rodeo with a worn out Speed Sensor.  I've been told that I can only purchase the part from the Isuzu Dealer..... Is this part interchangable with a Speed Sensor for a 1996 Honda Passport?  It seems that the Honda Dealer can get it faster than Isuzu... Or is there a place where I can buy it other than the dealer?

Answer
Hi Mia,

I'd say you're on the right track. Passport and Rodeo were sister-vehicles. I would try a local salvage yard first. Probably get it for a minimal amount of money and you'll have it immediately.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
