When it comes to "over the counter" parts who do y'all like? I'm an orilley man I guess. But with any of em ya better know what you're getting because none of em seem know much about much these days.

My girlfriend works at AutoZone, so I get a few things there with her discount. But if summit racing carries what I need I buy from them. But I'm also only about an hour from the summit in talmadge, Ohio and even if I order online its free shipping and I usually get my orders in next day. Lightning fast shipping, summit FTW!

I used to do summit but lately its been latemodel or American muscle for aftermarket stuff that the regular ole parts stores don't carry. Here in a minute though in fixing to order an obdI scanner from summit.

I'm an Oreilly's man myself. Honestly, it depends on the part. I check Summit, American Muscle, LMR, FoxResto, and Mustangs Unlimited. Mainly Oreilly's and Summit, I do live pretty close to both though.

I order online as well, but if it's otc I use NAPA. They have great quality parts, their synthetic oil is made by Valvoline & their oil fliters are made by Wix. I avoid Auto Zombies!

Work part time at Advance, so there first. If we don't have something and I need it in a pinch, NAPA because my wife can pick it up on the way home from work (she works right across from one). I always prefer for my stuff and side jobs to use RockAuto but the customers sometimes need NOW.
