I talked myself out of buying Opti-Seal because I have more than enough product I need to use up, but after seeing that Autogeek discontinued their $19.99 sale price, and my cart was still showing the sale price, I decided to take advantage of the deal and order it. Low and behold, I get a message saying it's now $24.99 so I was a bit disappointed by that and canceled the order. $5 might not seem like much to some of you, but for $5 I could feed myself for a whole day at JackInTheCrack!
Well, I checked their site again today and it looks like they finally have Duragloss FC&S in stock, not only in the regular size but in gallon size too! Plus, their tire & rubber dressing was finally in stock. I've never used any of these 2 products, but I've been on a Duragloss fix lately and these were my 2 highest priority items to try from them. So far, I've yet to use a product from them that's disappointed me.
Out of all the orders I've placed, I'm extra excited about receiving this one. I know Opti-Seal is part of the reason, but I'm actually a bit more excited about the DG products to tell you the truth. I was ready to place my DG order at a local Carquest, but my trip there wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be (word of advice, do not go on Sunday lol).
I'd really like to spread and give my business to other shops, but at the moment I don't really feel like I have much of a choice because Autogeek is a one-stop shop and generally ends up being the cheapest place, after shipping and tax charges are figured. They are the Walmart of car care retailers. In a way I feel somewhat guilty for not helping out some of the smaller shops, especially since they're known for their better customer service.
Anyway, some of you are thinking this is a pointless post but I just wanted to give feedback as to why one would pick one retailer over another. I'm just one person so whether I buy from a forum sponsor or not won't make or break them. But if I feel this way, there's probably a few others out there that feel the same way I do. Maybe this small insight will help the smaller guys in gaining more business.
