They are about the same. But Napa is most expensive...Sears I dunno I thought thye sold tools.

parts are parts-basically. for example 99% of starters/alternators are reman'd by unit parts. unit parts will sell to a co. whom sells to a co. to sell to u. no1 is cheaper on everything. napa is typically more expensive bcus it is a franchise. each oindividual owner sets his price but cannot buy in bulk-wholesale like a corporation ex. advance, autozone. it is more of who u feel comfortable working with. who is most interested and knowledgable in ur concerns. IMO u should go 2 ur local parts stores and find out who is ase certified, bs w/ some people, and go from there.

autozone is expensive? sodas are $1.50 for a bottle......and our salvage item provider (Everdrive)is expensive......but everything else is good.

pepbpys parts are expensive, before i worked at Autozone i would stop by pepboys priceshopping, and pep was always a bit more for stuff like alternator/starters, etc

am comparing kragen to autozone...

i'm just a DIY redshirt. not a part specialist or anything.

i read OBDII codes, install batteries, lookup parts, etc

cool man, theyre a pretty good co. to work for. as long as u can handle all the paperwork when it comes to an upper management. its amazing how many jobs az offers. not just a salesman, but u got the commercial programs(which is a whole nother part of a stores function) drivers, dc warehouses, outside sales, sms-computers, lp, hr, etc. really alot of room for some1 to go somewhere.

gotta rep az im just a redshirt, but im taking the ase test this time around, they said i can make senior sales if i pass

[sensys01]

that is another really awesome thing with them. and if u want to take other ase tests, u can typically get with ur dm to get those paid for also.
