Bypassing The Local Parts Warehouse

[totalautocare]

We're looking to not JUST by from NAPA, Oreillys or the local dealership.

 

I know there is better sources out there. Where do you get your stuff?

 

-Parts

-Oil Filters

-Batteries

-Fluids

-Etc Etc

I'm sure there is money to be had not buying from the chain stores, the problem is, if you have an issue from one of those warehouses, how do they respond? You pay more for a part, but you also pay for the service, granted the service may not always be great, but hopefully they take care of you in a way that a warehouse can't.

Not to mention you'll probably pay more from the warehouse as you lack the volume required. It probably won't make much of a difference! Obviously bulk oil you can buy cheaper.

Anyone use worldpac? How does that stack up against box stores?

I like WorldPac. I always check Dealer price first and then shop from there. There are times that the dealer part price is worth it because proper fit or improved design/TSB .

We don't purchase any of our oil filters, fluids, or bulbs from our local parts stores. The local parts stores are considerably more expensive than purchasing directly. We obviously are not able to purchase everything directly but items that we can track how much we are using and use often, we try NOT to purchase from the local parts stores. Individual parts for repairs are typically purchased from our local parts store for the warranty and after service aspects.
