    Advance Auto.
    Most pArts I buy from dealers or local repair shops.
    I try not to buy online,. Unless I can't sourceI It locally.

    Business that I frequent will put parts outside for after hours puckup.
    Also I can stop by for help diagnosing problems.or call.
    Sometimes parts cost a little more, it's worth it to me.

    It depends on what part, most aftermarket parts don't stand up to OE (original equipment) quality. I always try to source OE part first I don't use aftermarket unless there is a really big saving AND I know for sure the aftermarket part would work. Always use OE parts for electrical/electronics such as sensors and air conditioning parts, aftermarket is good for brake parts such as pads and brake shoes.
