Best quality auto parts store?

[Maximus96]

In my area I have Kragen, Autozone, Napa Auto Parts, and of course the dealership. Most of the time I buy my parts from the Nissan dealer. But outside of that, I rank it as Napa, Kragen, Autozone in terms of quality replacement parts. I rank them in reverse of that order in terms of cheap, everyday items like oil, coolant, chemicals, cleaners, etc.

What do you guys think? Out of these three, which do you rank highest in the quality of replacement parts?

For any factory replacement parts, I go to Napa. For other random stuff I got to Autozone/Pep Boys. I've never heard of Kragen...must not have those around here.

edit: btw, the garage is over <-

Meh, they'll all rip you off if they can.

I went to all the local parts stores when I was replacing a blower motor on my Nissan. They were all crappy quality and mostly would have to splice the wires in instead of having the proper connector. The Nissan dealership wanted $220 for the part. Also the parts in the stores didn't come with the fan cage.

I got the part on ebay for $75 shipped with the fan cage - proper connector, looks exactly the same, fits perfect.
