I've been wondering...when I need parts, should I continue to order from on-line forum sponsors or is it okay to go to the local parts store?
I'm talking about things like this:
I need to do some brake repair work, and most if not all of the parts are available through Advance Auto Parts and costs lots less than the parts available from Eckler's Classic Chevy Intl and Eastcoast Chevy, to name two "sponsors" or "popular" on-line sources. The specific parts I've been looking at today are the springs, etc. for drum brakes, and the adjusting screws. I could save quite a bit but if the rule is "you get what you pay for" then maybe I should stick with the higher priced but better items.
Let me know what you all think about NAPA, PepBoys, Advance Auto, etc. (I know there are other on-line sources that are good, but I'm looking for opinions on the local, stop-on-the-way-home-from-work kind of places!)
