[QUOTE="A1cntrler, post: 991177, member: 54815"] Have never been a fan of anything Auto Zone. They usually only have one brand (Duralast) and 9/10 times when I need something it is only available as an order. I am an ex-Advance Auto employee (had to move to CA for wife's job and no Advance here to Transfer to) and liked that we at least had a selection of parts to choose from and sell. While I may have eventually settled on the Duralast part, I feel that by not giving me a choice of something else is just wrong. When I search for these calipers on AZ, I see they are special order only and ship to home is the only available option. This means to me that if I do have problems with it, I am stuck waiting anyways. I have been buying parts online for years and haven't had a problem yet. Even when I was an Advance Auto employee, some things were cheaper even with the shipping for me to get online. With Amazon, I can get the parts next day for 4 bucks, 2 day shipping for free (Prime Member) and I don't have to pay the tax up front (because I ALWAYS fill in that part of my tax return for internet purchases :bwahaha: The Lifetime Warranty offered by most parts suppliers only covers one replacement, plus 90 days on the replacement part. So I guess basically you get one free replacement, then no warranty. But for 40 bucks for two reman calipers still isn't that bad. [/QUOTE]
