NAPA vs. Autozone vs. O'Reilly... price and quality?
Some neighbors next door to me have an older model Saturn and an older
model Chevrolet Lumina and an older model Jeep parked on the dirt in their back yard.Two of those vehicles, the Chevrolet and the Jeep have been sitting there for about a year, or more.Sooner or later, the city is going to haul those vehicles off to the impound yard.I think the Saturn car does run though.A year ago, their garbage can tipped over and spilled some garbage onto my yard, he blamed it on me! They are the reason about a year ago I had to build a fence along the side of my yard to keep them from driving and parking on my yard.They 'think' they own everything! cuhulin |

AutoZone for $162 O'Reilly's for $172 Napa for $241 Which is my best bet? Your best bet is to buy all three, compare them, keep the best one, and return the others. You might want to also buy the condenser from the dealer and also a $60 part from eBay. My guess is that they'll be pretty much the same. Please be the guinea pig and find out if this is really true. |
