Advance Auto discounts
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2013 2:57 pmI posted on this before but it's just such a great deal (compared to AutoZone, Napa, O'Reilly's, Pep Boys) that this is now my second time using it this year.
First, free shipping, they all do it. But at wildly different levels ($100 AutoZone, $75 O'Reillys, PepBoys, $50 Advance).
But the king of 'sale' is Advance... every time I go online they have at LEAST 15% off $50 PLUS a coupon for $25 off your next $50 online order. None of the other online parts places had this.
So, I order a distributor/cap/plugs for the G506, roughly $95 in parts (includes shipping to my home, taxes, less the 15% off).
Today I order a new serpentine belt, tension pulley and 1 gallon of car wash (had to hit the $50 mark for the $25 off to take effect).
So the total came out to:
Product Subtotal: $55.27
Discounts: -$25.00
Shipping Charges: $0.00
Tax: $1.82
Total: $32.09
Some quick math: $32/$55 = 42% off!
I also got a huge deal on tires.. although this time it was PepBoys (Buy 3, get 1 Free, plus 15% off if ordered online).
30x9.5x15 tires were $136 each (ignoring the fees/taxes etc) $136x4=$544 vs $136x3=$408 $408/$544=25% off BUT that didn't include the 15% discount for ordering/schedualing installation online... $408-15% = $346 for FOUR TIRES, INSTALLED (plus the tax, disposal fees etc) I was out the door on 4 new tires for just at $400.
Go ahead and price 30x9.5x15s.... see if you can find them for $100 installed
Bottom line... if you are not taking advantage of these online offers you are leaving some BIG MONEY on the table. Just these two examples saved me $200.
