i hate AUTO ZONE

i swear every time i go into that place there is always something that bad happens. i went today to pick up most of my car part ( control arm and to upper ball joints and tie rode end). so i got them and went home i was putting grease mights in and the one that go's into the control arm wouldnt go. so i said no big deal went and put the grease might in one of the upper ball joint and put it on the car, went back to do the same with the other one and guess what its the wrong ball joint. i mean really i waited 3 days for the wrong parts. and to top this i got one control arm from advance and it look twice as nice as the one from auto zone.:16suspect

 

Out here auto zone is the cheapest but their parts are not even worth it.

It's probably been a good 5 years since I've been to one. Napa and O'reilly treat me good.

 

ur telling me ill post a pic.s of the control arms that i got from 2 different places

 

These cars are over 40 years old. Waiting for parts is norm. Getting wrong parts is the norm. That is why they make good hobby cars.

 

O'Reilly has done me good, for the most part. Or ebay. Or Craig Selvey.

 

I like OReiley and RockAuto..

 

yea i under stand but im just feed up with them is not like i get one bad part here and there it every parti i seam to get any more

ill to try O'reileys

 

Out of all the car parts stores out there.....Auto Zone is my last choice. I only nuy name brand stuff there. Their stuff is cheap for a reason.

 

yea they are my last choice to but i didnt no this and the time when i bought all my stuff from them... the only good thing they have is most of there stuff has a life time replacement

 

I still wouldn't shop there.

Before you buy anything, I suggest you ask on here what to look for and where to get it. Fix it right the first time.

 

that is what im going for

 

Rock auto should have everything you need. Might take a few days in shipping, but well worth it to get the right parts from name brand mfgs. Most of the chains have store brand stuff cheaper, but it's also made cheaper. I use MOOG or Raybestos front end parts, never had a problem.

 

someone told me about them today

 

I bought a motor mount from AZ. Spent 4 hours trying to put the engine in. Finally figured out the holes didn't line up. Made in Taiwan. I use Merle's out here and they give me a discount on the prices.

 

i no the feeling
