Re: purchasing experiences from SpecialTAuto?

I've had no problems purchasing parts from SpecialTAuto, and have found 
them to be of excellent quality. I picked up one of the 150 Amp Alternators, 
and installed it into my car. Everything was shipped promptly, and came with 
VERY detailed instructions for both installation, and operation. I had more 
difficulty removing the old alternator, than I did installing the new one. 
Common parts that you would order with certain specialty items are priced 
about the same if not less than other vendors, so my bulk order for the 
alternator, & drive belts was very cheap considering the prices paid, and the 
higher power alternator ordered.

Over all, I do tend to buy the majority of parts from those vendors that also 
have service centers. But for the smaller items that you'll find, I get them thru 
the those vendors who mainly specialize in parts only. The replacement 
pulley bearings I picked up from SpecialTAuto were only $4.95 ea, when 
other vendors have them for about $23 ea. I also broke an antenna mast. The 
price for an entire unit was over $180. But since I didn't need a new unit, I was 
able to pick up a replacement mast from Darryl Tinnerstet @ Specialty 
Automotive in Washington for only $40. So, for alot of the odds & ends 
needed for you car, they can be had at a decent price, and you can still feel 
good because you can buy them from a DeLorean vendor! No matter where 
you go for parts, it never hurts to shop around!
