Don't go to Auto Zone because there anti gun. They donate to anti gun organizations. OEM parts are all i will use unless there is a much better made aftermarket part. Part store parts are junk.

I trust NAPA and Carquest. Yes you can find SOME low quality parts there but you have to make it known to the counterman you want the premium part. I avoid Autozone because they are ALL about cheap Chinese parts. I'll probably get some hate letters from the Autozone fans.

My problem with dealerships selling parts is this: I needed the trim around the tailgate handle, and the local Chevy dealership wanted $60 for it. Found one at O'Reilly for $8. Matched perfectly to the truck... not the first time they've tried to rip me off, either.

The criminals in New York don't.

Anywho, I'll put autozone on my banned list as well.

+1 on that. Auto zone is the harbor freight of auto parts. Pretty much the same can be said for Advance Auto.

Knowles auto parts in Stockton CA is the best. May be a lil more in price but I love the fact that they don't have to look in a computer for every lil part you need. Most stuff they know off the top of their head. Also when they say they will have some thing the next day they have it. Great customer service and a great staff.
