I try not to go to places like auto zone and oriley but some times I need to get parts on the fly and I wanted to no if any one knew witch one of these local part places have the better parts. I live in Cali

 

what are you looking for? advanced autozone and oreillys are all good stores if you get the right parts. working for a shop has taught me that once i start ordering parts

 

I've had good luck with both pretty much same prices

 

Junkyard parts

99% of the time they're OEM and a hell of a lot cheaper

 

I personally like NAPA, but sometimes I use other places I just make sure to no use there bottom line stuff.

 

Autozone or O'Reilly's is like being asked Gas Chamber or Death March during the Holocaust.

In all seriousness though, they aren't much different. Just decide whether you like green or red better.

 

I like autozone bc you spend $20 and you get points on your autozone card.

Once you've spent $20 or more 5x then you get a $20 credit.

That's like 20% off!

I buy my synthetic oil from there, and things like bulbs, filters, etc.

 

Never had an issue with either store. Bought autozone balljoints for my 87mazda 4x4 and they were heavy duty and made in japan. Some parts sadly can't be got at the junkyard :/

 

Don't go to NAPA...lots of failures. Advance, o'reilly, autozone are all good, but I would shop around for the better parts of the 3.
