Is Pep Boys above or below Autozone on the list? I'm partial to Advanced & O'Reilly's.
Pepboys is/was above Autozoo. I'm acutally not sure what is below autozoo when it comes to parts.
Advance (carquest) is good if you take the time to buy it online first. There's always a 20% off coupon on the web if you buy online, then drive to the store and pick it up.
That's completely opposite of the way gas stations used to operate with selling cheap gas thinking you'd come inside the store and make impulse purchases when there where the real profit items are.
I usually buy more stuff when I wonder around the store first, but if Advance wants to give me a discount for reserving it online and then picking it up, I'll continue to do that.
