WISMER'S AUTO PARTS PLUS!!! thats awesome!!!

i've been in the autozone's and stuff like that down there, and they're booming, but they made a store up here called partsource which is the same thing, and they're a bomb ***they suck!!!*** (i dont want to go into this, lol...but i speak from personal experience)

definetely shop @ wismer's though, any canadian member's looking for a deal i will give you a really good one if your in the area, as for u.s. member's you guyz can buy fairly cheap down there...i can't touch summit prices most of the time either...but i try....

good post

Oreillys I get about a 30% Discount depending on the part. My dads truck shop buys their parts through them. Have had bad experiences at Napa and Autozone, not hatin, just statin.. lol that rhymed. Autozone seems to be more about the looks and have way too much ricer stuff hangin on the wall for me. I like to go to a parts store and see engine blocks on stands, and tools hangin on the wall. My 2 cents

I'm a long-time customer of NAPA. (for one my cousin works there and always gives me a price break)
I used to be very good friends with the guy that owned the store. Till he sold out to another owner.

AZ in my area is mostly a joke. The one store had a mexican woman working for them. She always treated me poorly any time I went in and she was working. She cost them business. I have bought many parts from AZ mainly due to the life-time warranty the part carries.

Advanced has got some of my business as there have been times they were the only source for a needed part.

30% off of what though?? because 30% off of list is nothing....they can raise list if they want to....i would really like to see if my prices compete with some of theirs down there....if any of you are in an auto parts store down there, price out a brake job for your monte

ie. good front pads
midgrade rotors
good rear pads
mid grade rear rotors
calipers for front and rear

ummm...for the warranty thats wierd that napa's only doing a 30 day warranty, because all their products have a minumum 1 year warranty, and the premium stuff has a lifetime warranty on it

no not off list price, I get the same discount the truck shop does. Its pretty nice. let me find some reciepts and I will tell you.. But its not 30% off list price. The percentage actually varies depending on the part. IF it is something like alternators that they buy more of it will be a bigger discount etc..
