Advanced Auto and some places like that, you have to beware of remanufactured parts they sell. Big price difference when you call a NAPA store and they quote you a NEW part price and you call an Advanced Auto and they give you a rebuilt price. Often times if you don't ask they don't tell. Always ask.

I know of instances where multiple starters were put on the same car until one was found that worked. That can be real aggravating, same with alternators.

MANY NAPA parts are, or were manufactured by Dana. When I worked for Dana they gave us a booklet of parts NAPA stocked from Dana, but no we did NOT get a discount on parts, Go figure. Rule of thumb.....You get what you pay for.

For my GTO I am going to have my speed shop do everything, even a stinking oil change. As for my New Sahara, the dealer get's that one. They charge their new and used vehicle customers $24.95 for a oil change and tire rotation
