when you need replacement hard parts. lets use like brake pads and roters and you know its a repair you plan to do soon but not right the next weekend .
do you try and buy them online or still just go to your local auto parts ?

Brake pads and rotors... well I usually get lifetime brakes from Midas.
Rotors on the other hand, I sometimes order off the internet... especially if I want specialty rotors (cross drilled and slotted) that improve braking over the standard stock rotors that most repair shops carry.

just order the parts I needed for my car from from Murray's/O'Reillys auto parts on-line . http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/home.oap local company for me. i really needed a timing chain and gear set for my 2002 Saturn vue 4 banger. I got a good deal and there parts are lifetime warranty. anyway i went to this one site on line that claim they match or beat anyones prices .i figured why not try it . so i filled out all the BS 2 days ago for them including a link to the better price. never a reply so i just order my parts today .
the company I tried to get a price match from is rockauto and there in Madison, WI.
well as i was writing this post i see they changed there list price. to less then i just payed my local OReillys auto parts by about $25.00 they are listing the parts now for $123.99 there old price 2 days ago was $199.99 .
i never got a return email or anything from this company (rockauto ) for $149.99 and a local auto parts company i know i trust . its worth my Peace of mind staying at Oreillys
not saying the other company's shady but makes you think !
heres the link to second not used part supplyer -http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php

Advanced Auto Parts often has 40% off coupons available on orders as small as $35. Can't beat that. I order from home then head to the store to pick up.
