Rock Auto and Advance. AZ sucks. pepboys occasionally.

I call Pepboys "The Fuzzy Dice Shop." I NEVER buy car pats there. The only thing I use Pepboys for are decorative items. Things such as floor matts, steering wheel covers, rearview mirror ornaments, shift knobs, decorative pedal covers, valve stem caps, license plate frames, window shades, etc. They always seem to have a wide variety of items in this category.

Unpopular Opinion :

Box Store House Brands are just overpriced unbranded eBay parts.

Buy from OEM Manufacturers or quality Aftermarket ones.

Oh yeah, for you guys that like Advanced/Car Quest, they are owned by WorldPac or they own WorldPac so I would look into WorldPac in your area because they have way better selection and pricing. Only obstacle is that it may be wholesale only.

Unless you need the parts immediately then Rock Auto is where it's at. Spark plugs for my F250 (3v V10) were half the price for the set of Champion plugs. Most other parts seem to be significantly cheaper as well.

Otherwise its just a game of who has whatever I need in stock.

Napa seems to have higher quality parts, I use Autozone second. I like Rockauto as well, but the shipping cost and impatience, even though they ship super fast, I purchase locally if available.

It's all Rock Auto fun and games until you need to return the wrong part they sent you.

Autozone then anybody else who has the part i need or if oreilly has motorcraft parts for around the same price i'd go there.
autozone is the goto for the warranty simplicity.
they're all pretty much the same.

motorcraft and ACdelco are actually people common on Amazon. Pretty hard to beat the 2 day shipping.
