Not sure about the wholesale closeouts R/A has but I heard autozone will match their prices. ---

MAWDI, which is now Uni-select. they have a few places, but the one on Vickers (Ton.) is the closest. call cappy’s and quote rock auto’s prices, and you can go to Tonawanda (if you’re a shop, they don’t like customers there) or they’ll have it pulled if they don’t have it in the store. ---

Just ordered pads and rotors all around for my car, saved some serious loot compared to local places and any where else i looked online. I also found this, and it saved me a little bit more. > Coupon code: 20019291676825 > 5% off your order code must be entered in the “how did you hear about us” line of the shopping cart, click apply, and page will refresh showing discount. > the code expires on sept. 20 2009 I’ve been ordering from here for years, they’ve never once let me down. I’ve never even had to deal with customer service, simply because they’ve never screwed anything up for me :tup: ot: i’m not sure how many people do this, but if i’m ordering anything from anywhere online, i always google “(company name) coupons”, and usually can find a discount code for pretty much everywhere. ---

They are pretty good too. Biggest complaint though is they’re only open bankers hours, so its a pain in the ass for people like me who work normal hours to get there. ---

Bumpity, Just ordered 4 new Moog Balljoints for my jeep project. Rockauto $185.65 (5% discount code i get for being a member on s10planet pretty much negated the shipping charge ). Just priced them up at advance… 241.96 What. The. Fuck. I literally just saved myself 15.00 Per balljoint. Unless its a part i need ASAP. Im definatly not shopping from advance or autozone again. Saving money and not having to deal with people with little to no automotive knowledge. 5 :tup: ---

Bring the printout and ask. At least they have been for me. And go to the Advance on Niagara St in Tonawanda if you want to talk to people that know what they are talking about. ---

^ What warehouse did it come from? I’m guessing not Tonawanda since you ordered on 10/15 and just got it today.
