I got to the point, that I rarely shop at these chain parts stores anymore. Most lines of products they carry are now things like "duralast", "murray", "tough one" and whatever other house labels they carry now. They simply did this to avoid price matching imo.
This week I ordered a AC condenser for my Lincoln. Oreillys wanted 140 bucks, autozone about the same, and advance 180 bucks. Amazon, 80 bucks, free shipping, and it was a BRAND name, not "tough one" or god knows what. Plus I don't have to deal with some nitwit who ask's if my truck is 4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive, when I am purchasing a tail light bulb. And NO, I don't need any fuel injector cleaner today.
Same reason I shop at rockauto so much for my car parts. I like names like Wagner, Bendix, raybestos, AC delco, motorcraft, mopar, timken, skf, etc, and they have those parts in stock at prices less than the "house garbage" they sell at the chain stores. I even buy spark plugs, filters,

To tie it back, you can buy the Mobil1 online from Wal*Mart, at this smoking deal; and you don't have to step foot in the store. Buy two jugs and it's free shipping.
If I didn't have a shelf full of it from the last time they had it on sale; I'd be stocking up again.
Also, FWIW, a lot of those chain stores like Advance Auto, Napa, AutoZone offer and honor a military discount.
That really earns my business. Every one I mentioned above; and a few others, don't even ask to see my ID anymore.
