For example, I once had a friend who had contacts for everything. One time, a drain pump needed to be replaced on a washer and he knew a small, out-of-the-way store to get it at.

Other then just Googling the part number and ordering online, where can I find these stores? Yellow pages and Google? It was a small warehouse-type store probably zoned industrial. Way off the beaten path.
 
I know what you mean. Where I used to live there was a store with Industrial Supply in its name. Much like a hardware store but a lot more and better prices than HD or Lowes on a lot of products. They are few and far between. Your best source for places like them, much like truckers and diners, are contractors in the various trades.
That being said, I needed a timer assembly for my cloths washer and using sources online, not only did I find the part at a good price but got to view videos on changing it out. All while I was sitting in my skivvies and drinking coffee.
 
I usually buy online. Have used Appliancepartspros.com and Partselect.com in the past with good results.
 
I use repairclinic.com, they have good videos on troubleshooting and replacing parts.
 
Before you repair an appliance, check out the repair forums to see if it's a lemon and something better off replaced instead of repaired. Every brand name makes a few problem machines and none of them are anywhere near as sturdy or as long-lived as the older stuff. Just the way the world is these days.

You hear "they don't make them like they used to."

Is that true? Or is it just that the only old stuff that survived is the good stuff?
 
If the repair is close to half the price of a new unit, it is time to think about age and other parts that might quit.
