I've been shopping at www.premiumautocare.com now for a couple years. They carry everything you want to buy except Zaino. Only one place to buy that online anyway. PremiumAutoCare has some really nice stuff. In fact, a lot of Zaino users have switched over to some of the 4 Star (formerly known as Platinum) products. I'm not saying that its any better or worse, but it has impressed some of the most scrutinizing eyes in the industry. And they always have excellent deals on shipping. Not something I can say for other places.

www.autogeek.com is another place that I like to order from. They have good deals from time to time as well. I like to keep my eye on both of them because they have different products sometimes. Every now and then I can find a better deal if I shop around.

That's a good question, What I have noticed is that they are all just about the same. One may have a little better price on a few things, and then the others beat their price on other things, You also need to look at shipping costs.

Properautocare has some pretty high shipping costs sometimes. Other than that there isn't a whole lot of difference. They are the main distributor for a lot of places in fact. The prices are usually the same because its a competitive industry. Its the shipping that usually draws the line. autogeek.net, properautocare.com and premiumautocare.com are all pretty similar to each other even though they are totally seperate companies competing with each other.

The other thing I noticed is that some places private label stuff, so you can only buy it through them. For example Blackfire and Pinnacle are only available via properautocare altough you can find it at some other places, but they get it from properautocare.

If you live close to Tampa, you can cut the shipping costs 'cause I found out that they're local!
