I don't know how to post a link but got a great deal and wanted to share. The only close auto parts store for me is Advance Auto Parts. I checked their site online to get a price. They have 15% off on every order but that's not the deal. They also send you an email code at the end of the month for $25 off of your next order of $50. I'm always needing something so quite a savings. I picked my order up at the store (same day) so I'm not sure about shipping.
 
I use (Rockauto.com) they have much better prices than advance.
IE; Muffler last week for my Saturn, Advance wanted 277.for it Exact part number was $166.35 delivered to my Virginia home/HUGE savings
 
I shop around as well. The mechanic priced a heater core at $80. I looked on JC Whitney and found one that fit my van for $46. Wrote down the model # and got the same one on Amazon for $25. I shopped Advance because I needed several items that day when I had my shade tree mechanic here to do the work. Their price on U Joints was comparable actually cheaper with the 15% off. I don't want to wait for something to be shipped when I have a day off and a project to finish. I'm using my $25 coupon for adhesive remover, primer, and antifreeze for the new heater core. I order online and pick it up an hour later.
 
just a heads up when buying auto parts. try to avoid Chinese manufactured. north American or western european are the better quality. I try usa, then Canadian, then mexico. not many parts for my truck are made in western Europe although some bosch parts are available and they are top notch. highdesertranger
