Listen to what Larry said........especially a part like an a/c compressor.

If you bought a rebuilt alternator from Autozone AND it failed, hey no harm no foul you install another one under warrranty. Id' cost you an hour's labor and a hassle.

On the other hand if you bought a rebuilt a/c compressor and it failed (not just leaked), there is a considerable amount of "collateral damage" that would have be fixed in addition to the "free compressor" they replace under warranty. They would not cover the flush, the new r/d that would be required etc etc.

Most of the normal maintenance items (pads, filters and hoses) can be purchased here at Fastlane (w/o state sales tax) AND delivered to your front door for less than you can buy the items at Autozone. Not to mention that these items will most likely have better fitment.

Yes I bought a Wahler thermostat at Autozone, couldn't find it anywhere else (Wahler is no longer the vendor for that Autozone thermostat). I know Autozone carries some Bosch parts too, but have you priced them!! $$$
