I agree, alternator from autozone is not bad. I replaced mine with a Duralast and never had a problem so far.
Pros: no problem so far

I ended up purchasing a Duralast Gold from autozone. It's actually Manufactured by DieHard of Sears. it's money back for the first 3 years. you get half your money back if it dies in years 4 or 5. Oh well lets hope the Duralast treats me good.
Pros: money back for 3 years
It's shocking how such a little thing can make such a big difference. No more buffeting with the windows down all the way and at speed. I tested this up to 100. Simple install too.
Pros: no more buffeting, simple install

Audi TT RS
2 weeks ago, I brought in a totally dead, 16 month old Duralast battery to Autozone. The girl threw some meter thing on the battery, saw that it was bad, and swapped it out for a brand new one.
Pros: swapped for a new one
Cons: battery was dead
I buy the Duralast version of these wipers at Autozone for about $10 less a set than Bosch Icon or similar. They work just as good and last me about 1 year, if you live somewhere with less intense Sunlight you'll get more life out them.
Pros: good performance, good value, last 1 year
Took my chances and bought the Duralast CTS for $11 and so far so good. Engine cranked over without pressing the accelerator pedal.
Pros: Engine cranked over
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I got a starter from AutoZone (Duralast - remanufactured from Mexico) and installed it myself. Anyway, I got it free, took careful note as to where all the wires were supposed to go and then set about installing the other starter.
Pros: installed it myself
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
It was a pain in the ass gettin the lines off with pushing and pulling etc. I had a oem filter on there. Right now I just got one from autozone for the sake of being cheap. Duralast. With my discount was like 10$ Anyway its all back in there and snug. However the return line to the engine is clipped on and doesn't move if pulled unless released by pushing the clip in. But the line from the tank can just be pulled off. It's almost as if the clip isn't functional anymore. Both sides are pushed as far as they will go. I turned it on. Let it run for a few minutes. Didn't notice any leaks.. I can't see the line just "coming off". But it can come off without pushing in the clip if pulled hard enough..
Pros: cheap price
Cons: difficult installation, loose connection
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
i had a durasuck crap out on me after 4 days, replacement one covered under the "warrenty" did the same thing. get a bosch
Cons: crap out after 4 days
I had a duralast battery that I had originally bought for my beater mk2 that ended up in the Corrado, it then let go last week after only 11 months. I would go with the Bosch at all costs.
Cons: let go after 11 months
