Don't want to deal with that markup? Go ride a horse and buggy like the rest of the people up there.

Re: so I just got anal raped...
Well Autozone sells garbage so... yea it's going to be cheap. NAPA is the most expensive out of the replacement car parts shops, but their products are the highest quality and closest to OEM from the dealer. I usually shop at O'Reilly which I consider 2nd best quality wise and pretty good price wise.
I do sometimes go for better parts (brake calipers for instance) in which case I generally prefer to try the local dealers since the prices are similar to NAPA. However sometimes NAPA does get my business since they seem to have more stuff in stock than my local (Houston) dealers. There are some items all the local dealers say they can't even order, for instance crank balancer pulley.sigpic
