Recommended Auto Part and Automotive Tool Business Partners

Be auto part wise and save on the whole

What do most people do when they need an auto part replacement?

They take their vehicle to their mechanic and say, "check this out for me." The mechanic assesses the vehicle and quotes a price. They agree to have the repair or replacement done.

Do you know how much you are paying for that replacement part? Do you care? Do you know how much you might save if you try one of the reputable online auto part stores?

If you're a mechanic, you need to know this too. Why? Your clients are getting smarter, and you must make them realize they are getting the best deal from you.

Auto part buyers can get wholesale deals from some of the recommended online dealers.

Why online auto part stores give great deals

- Often they do not have all the overhead expenses that traditional auto part stores have
- Competition drives the prices down
- Discounts and free shipping offers can save you a bundle
- You do not have to stand in line NOR show off your ignorance about catalytic converters or PCV valves (What's that, anyway? Positive Crankcase Ventilation valves - THey help your vehicle breathe cleaner and easier. I know you knew that.)

A short list of auto parts and shop tool carriers that merit your click

Among the Internet's automotive part and tool distributors rated for good service are JC Whitney, The Eastwood Company, Performance Products, and Tool King.

Why are these names big in the automotive tool and auto part business? You could guess that it has to do with product quality and customer satisfaction. When I need an auto part or a piece of quality automotive tool, I want more than great price - I want good service as well.

These are my favorite automotive tool and auto part places:

Merchant	Product(s)	Shipping	Customer Satisfaction
Eastwood Company	Auto part and automotive tool supplies. Great for your restoration jobs/projects	Free shipping for orders over $100. Same-day shipping on morning orders available	30-day return policy. Provides helpful technical tips, articles, and instructions
JC Whitney	Sell everything automotive	Offers Free shipping if you spend at least $250	Offers a refund or exchange if you are not 100% satisfied
Parts Bin, The	All kinds of import auto parts	Free shipping on orders over $50 within US mainland	Courteous staff, 21-day return policy with a re-stocking charge
Performance Products	Auto parts and gigs for all types and makes: from Acura to Yugo	Promotional shipping offers	Has a "Low Price Guarantee" - will match any current price on identical item
Tool King	Sells all kinds of tools. Search by category - choose automotive from the list.	Free shipping on all orders via UPS ground. Same day shipping if received by mid-day (MST)	Very competitive pricing. Claims to have lowest prices on any tool in the US. Will beat costs (including shipping)

I like the ease of finding what I want at The Parts Bin. They use a lot of drop down list boxes so I can just pick, the make, model, and year of the vehicle. It's much different from queuing or phoning to find out if a part is available. They are big on Volvo parts.

Other auto part and automotive tool suppliers that offer attractive online services include The Auto Parts Giant and the Auto Barn.

Secure Transaction

If you ever need to get technical details on any auto part or automotive tool, these partners are willing to assist. Most of these sites post a toll-free number on their site.

But if you are like me, you do not want to give out card or bank information over the phone. A secure browser transaction is safer any day, and all these sites offer secure transactions.

When you give your information online, it is encrypted and there is no third party. This is better than telling a customer service personnel your personal information.

These are reputable names in online business and I feel proud to recommend them to you. Some people do not care about bargains but I love to chase great deals. These days, you can have your goods shipped for free as well.

These are my favorite auto part and automotive tool suppliers and I believe you will be pleased to visit these partner sites. I highly recommend them.
