Driveworks, Duralast or MasterPro...

I've always noticed that there are always surprises when I open boxes from these brands. These brands have reboxed items from other manufacturers. I would open the box, check all aspects of the parts from weight to visual appearance down to country of origin and then cross my fingers and choose.

This. I got a water pump that's a reboxed GMB, so it's good quality. If for some reason it's not good quality, it's easy enough to change in this particular car (serpentine belt driven).

Just my experience, but I've used a few autozone and Orielly wheel hubs....neither made it much more than 1 year. I avoid them.

Where do you shop for parts?

Where do you shop for parts?

75% Rockauto. Followed by Autozone then O'Rielly if a part is needed ASAP.

None of the above. Of course things could have changed since this thread was made though.

I have found name brand/ OE/ US made to be the same price if not cheaper online than a house brand from a parts store. Of course YMMV.

If you need it “now”, flip a coin.
