Recently, I needed a new
oil filter for my new x-terra. Since, I follow the stock market, they are always saying how great Advanced Auto, O'Reily and Auto Zone are as stocks because they have great margins. Well. I did some research on the cost of a new filter. This was for the same filter, the price at Rockauto was very much cheaper. Then there was the $15 shipping charge. Well, I went ahead and bought 10 filters, yes I change
oil a lot and my wife's car takes the same filter. Auto Zone, $83 dollars for ten filters with sales tax, Rockauto $47 with shipping ($15) for the same item. Now, I understand why the Auto Zones are such a great stock with margins like that.
