We priced out the cheapest pumps that meet California automotive emission standards (which are stricter than federal). Just keep in mind that all vehicle fuel pumps may not be created equal. An Import Direct-branded fuel pump module for our 2015 Civic was priced a whopping $209 less than AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts, which topped the charts at $453 for the "same" part. If you need a fuel pump module, the slam-dunk choice is O'Reilly Auto Parts, at just $244. Two automotive repair items on our shopping list had the biggest impact on the total cost: a fuel pump and a replacement clutch. Photo credit: TrongNguyen/istockphoto In most cases, prices were within a few dollars of each other across retailers. But, if you're in the market for vehicle maintenance parts - such as windshield wiper blades or a new battery - rather than replacement parts, Napa Auto Parts nips the competition most of the time. Bottom line: You have to buy from more than one automotive retailer if you want the best price on every item, every time. We found lots of variations to compare up and down the line - and some of those variations are pretty significant, especially when it comes to replacement parts. But a closer look paints a much more complicated picture. Based on price alone, O'Reilly Auto Parts looks like the top choice for the consumer looking to shop for everything on our list, with Advance Auto Parts bringing up the rear as the most expensive. What we discovered is that there's no clear all-around best choice. Factors such as loyalty or rewards programs, as well as shipping, pickup, and return policies, were also taken into account. These included items for basic maintenance (oil, antifreeze, batteries, wiper blades, and the like) as well as major repair components - (alternators, clutch sets, fuel pump modules, oxygen sensors, and more). We compared prices for a list of products a car owner is likely to need. IMO for the with the price this close the CT+3 are the best option.ĭon't forget the Rotors and proper pad break in for best surveyed four national auto parts retailers - Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone, Napa Auto Parts, and O'Reilly Auto Parts - to see which offers the best value for the money. I changed brakes on the Solara that was equipped with Raybestos ceramic pads and the difference was significant,the CT+3 pads felt firmer and easier to modulate,dust was less also. They are silent and well controlled,pedal feel is firm,similar to high end OEM euro brakes. I have used these on a lot of cars,they are clean pads,very little dust,easy on the rotors and stop very well.

The Bendix have a lifetime guarantee and can be registered online for free replacement at any Bendix retailer. Some CT+3 pads are GG rated for the front and FF rated for the rear and vice versa,which seems to indicate Bendix is paying attention to the stopping characteristics of the particular vehicle instead of just a singe generic material formula. I used a 2005 1.8 corolla generic vehicle.The Bendix CT are the CT+3 versions and have a DOT rating of GG vs FF for the AZ pads for the same car,i bought a set of CT+3 for a Solara last year and compared the to the AZ pads. I just compared Ceramic Ultra Quiet from Autozone $51.99 and Bendix CT from RockAuto $41.89,front pads.Rear are AZ $34.99 RA 37.79.
