While I've never had any issues with orders going through, I do have my AG gripes. I've really only used about 4-5 vendors for my supplies. Danase, Excel, Autopia, Autogeek and Top Of The Line. Generally I tend to put my orders in during the weekend and expect that no real person will see it until Monday morning. Without exception everyone of those vendors has my products to me by that Friday, except Autogeek. They always take a week and a half. Not a huge deal really, though considering that AG shipping is roughly the same price ( +/- a dollar or two depending on the order) the extra time doesn't seem to make a lot of sense (even given the fact that they are in Florida).

Like a lot of people I got all excited about the 25% off gift certificate, and purchased a $150 GC. After I got my AG order together, and mostly for the sake of curiosity, I added the same items to a cart at Topoftheline.com. The total came out three dollars cheaper at TOL after shipping at both sites had been added the GC applied at AG. That was a bit irritating, cheaper (everyday prices) and I would've had my stuff sooner.

I have nothing against AutoGeek, and will probably order from them again, but likely it will only be for specialty items I can't get elsewhere (something like MaxWax, which I'd like to try) For everything else I'll stick to my other trusted vendors.
