Auto Parts Bargains and Coupons

LOL, @ray80, I read 'em on my wife's iPad Kindle app. I guess there's a free app for your Windows 8 desktop too, but I haven't tried it.

Takes me a while to read 'em too - when I can pry the tablet out of her hands, I usually wind up playing pinball instead.

Bunch of Mobil oil coupons.

explorerx4 · March 2015

Ford has a $10 rebate on 'The Works'.
Last week I brought my Mom's 2011 Fiesta in to get an oil change and have the rear hatch latch replaced.
I brought the car over to my house the night before my appointment was scheduled.
Unfortunately it was -10 overnight and the car wouldn't start so I cancelled the appointment.
When I got home from work I jumped it and drove it about 30 miles.
Low tire pressure light was on after the jump, although tire pressures were all good.
Left it out overnight and it started the next day was able to get an appointment the same day.
Got 'The Works' done, rear latch replaced, tire pressure light reset, and a ride to work and back.
Bill came to $48, but due to the rewards program the oil change was free, so no charge for anything.
Now the coupon part, she's getting $10 back!

stever · August 2015

Looks like a good rebate on Kumho tires if you need a set and they have the size you need on sale. Not all sizes get the rebate. $80 to $120 rebate, plus an instant $20 off. Tire Crazy.

You'll have to find a local installer (Walmart?) but when you check your local tire shop, they may price match. Then you're looking at maybe saving some sales tax.

stever · August 2015

Mobil oil coupons again - lots of $7 to $15 rebates. linky

Funny, I'm seeing a few 2 cycle "chain saw" oil specials today too. Fall must be approaching.

It's not a "coupon", it's a mail in rebate. I like coupons, I hate mail in rebates. I'm sure some here will like it though.

Supertech oil is currently marked down between a buck and three bucks depending on what weight you want. That's for the 5 quart jug. I should go grab a jug and give them my jug of waste oil.

stever · November 2015

Another one that tempts me, but I don't have any rooms, much less bedrooms over my garage, so while a quiet belt drive would be a nice replacement, my chain one isn't broken.

SiriusXM

fushigi · May 2016

Thanks, stever. While I'm normally in my car for maybe 35-50 minutes a day, this weekend I will be on a couple hundred mile road trip. I let my Sirius subscription lapse because my usage pattern doesn't support it (and my car has a hard drive for music storage). This will let me re-evaluate that decision. I doubt it'll change my mind but you never know.

stever · May 2016

I usually spot these deals the day before they run out.

Enjoy!

imidazol97 · May 2016

I really appreciate the note about SiriusXM and the open line for a large number of stations.
I had been debating renewing it after the extended trial period ran out. I rarely drive that car
other than on trips over 30 miles. I do like the Fox News channels and driving through KY
to Pigeon Forge next month it would be nice to have the SiriusXM. Maybe I'll turn in on
for a month.

Sandman6472 · June 2016

What number is Fox Entertainment Channel on? Considering it's listed with the FCC as an "entertainment channel", don't understand why it's called a news channel. Would imagine all the channels like Blumberg, CNN etc. would be near each other on the dial but since I listen to music exclusively, have no clue where to look for these. Think I'd only really listen to CNBC as I love financial talk of almost any kind. Not political but when it comes to investing and all, I could listen for hours. Being in and out of retirement like I've been lately, am always interested in improving the portfolio.

The Sandman

fushigi · June 2016

https://www.siriusxm.com/channellineup/ has the channel lineup.

I tried to use the free SiriusXM offer but whenever I set the input to Sirius it just said 'updating channels'. I'd wait several minutes but it never changed. So never mind, satellite radio, I'll stick with my free options for car audio.

Sears Spectrum Plus 128Oz Car Wash on sale for $1.80. Usually $6. Free ship to store.

henryn · August 2016

I assume they're just trying to get you to go to the store. Truth be known, I can't remember the last time I was in a Sears store. Had to have been more than 10 years ago. Might even be 20.

And that's their problem, I guess. I used to be a regular at Sears, I had a Sears credit card, purchased many major appliances there. And nearly all of my tools. Back when they really would replace a broken Craftsman tool, no questions asked.

@henryn I think everyone felt that way about Sears. It was "the" go-to place is most town. I remember Mom ordering through the catalog and picking up the packages at the store after about a week or two. Now Amazon ships to your door in two days or less.

stever · August 2016

Looks like the cheapest stuff at Amazon in a comparable size is Rain-X 5072084 Foaming Car Wash - 100 oz. About $8 and free shipping if you have a Prime account.

It would cost me a buck in gas to go to Sears and back, plus my time. But it'd be a good excuse to get off the hill out here. Mostly I grab the Dr. Bronners if I decide to wash the car - it's about time for my annual car wash come to think of it.

[edit] - Just had a nice storm pass through. Didn't last long enough to get the car out of the garage, but I did soap up our sponge mop, put on my old snowboarding jacket and went out and washed the exterior house windows.

What exactly is "Dr. Bronners"? Some type of soap, I'm assuming? You don't want to use anything like dish detergent (Dawn or equivalent) on your car, unless your plan is to remove all of the old wax before starting over with a clay bar. But wait, who am I talking to here -- wax, @stever -- forget I brought it up!

I will admit that I am the kind of nut who would wash his windows in a rain storm.

stever · August 2016

Dr. Bronner's is kind of a hippie backpacking soap. He's "noted for manufacturing liquid Castile soap with eccentric packaging". Does weird things to your hair if you shampoo with it using salt water to rinse.

And yeah, I know about Dawn (the original is getting harder to find). Clay bars are great.

When I bought my used A3 TDI, got three month free trial, immediately. Nice!

Sandman6472 · August 2016

Used Dr. Bronner's back in my college days around the time I bought my earth shoes, could use it for a multitude of uses. One just needed to read the label. But yes, found it in the earth shoes store so picked up both. But talking the early to mid 70's here, seems like such a long time ago!

The Old Sandman

stever · August 2016

lol, there's so much stuff crammed on the Dr. Bronner label I still find new text on it decades later.

stever · September 2016

Too bad the current free trial ended before our drive up to ABQ today - the Coffee House seemed to be a bit back on track since the last time I listened to it.

Didn't have it on much in town but was reminded about the turbo lag in changing channels. That satellite lag always reminds me of trying to call home back in my Alaska days.

henryn · September 2016

One of my big gripes about entry level or base model vehicles is the lack of satellite radio. In many cases, I cannot step up to the next level because that includes a sunroof, which takes away so much headroom that I would never buy the car. Satellite radio, backup camera, and a power drivers seat should be included in every vehicle IMHO.

And speaking of satellite radio, I would like to see a license that is portable. Not the radio itself, just the license. I'm paying for two licenses for two cars, with only one driver.

Husky 4-in. Digital Tire Gauge at Home Depot.

Scored a dash cam at Walmart this afternoon. $7.

How bad can it be?

stever · December 2016

Happened to stop in an El Paso Walmart on the way back from an airport run and these were on clearance there for $15. Here's a screen grab from taping the drive in to our house from the back way in. Need to set the time and date.

explorerx4 · December 2016

@Stever,
Are you going to get a couple for the sides of your van?

stever · December 2016

LOL, I should!
