Q. Why won’t you ship to P.O. Boxes?


A. That is a UPS policy. They need to ship to a physical location. If your shipping address is where you receive your credit card statements then UPS will be able to deliver to that location.

Q. Should I replace certain auto parts in pairs (struts, brakes, bearings)?


A. It is strongly recommended that you replace auto parts in pairs because generally speaking if one of your parts needs replacement, especially wear parts, then it is very likely that the other side will need replacement shortly. This also protects your vehicle having you wear parts at the same level. For example if you replace only one rotor, your new rotor will be brake more effectively than the other side. Ultimately your new brake rotor may wear out faster than if both brake rotors were replaced.
