I have a couple of threads going about some maintenance I need to do to my vehicles and probably need to spend a fair amount on parts.

Unfortunately, in BC, parts are a rip off, so I would like to get them in WA state since I drive down that was on a regular basis anyway.

What are the best stores for price, service and selection?

I have ordered from Rockauto in the past, and it works, but it would be nice with retail store alternatives

Feedback is much appreciated!
 
In no particular order or closeness to border:

Napa (ubiquitous)
Carquest (ubiquitous)
(Shucks) O'Reilly (ubiquitous)

Autozone (not a lot in WA state, one in Marysville)

Advance
B&B
 
Advance is nice with their order online coupons.

I wonder how hard it would be doing it over a country line... IP logging, credit card address mismatching, etc. You could get a prepaid CC at a drug store and "borrow" wifi.

A hassle, but up to 40% off depending how you play your cards.
 
I like Oreileys myself. They seem to carry a better assortment and they seem to have staff that stick around so they get a little knowledge. Lots of locations and a pretty good website as well.

I've also used AZ, because they have a store close to me, but it seems when I call I always get put on hold forever.

Pep Boys has a store in Everett.

AFAIK, there are no Advance stores near Seattle.

Cool - I had forgot too list Pep Boys.

Agree on Advance - complete early AM brainfeert. I meant ACTION autoparts:
