price in the uk. I only know of Halfords. Online shop suggestions are also welcome. tnxHi, what's the best place to buy quality car parts and accesories like spark plugs, motor oil at a reasonable?
You need to know EXACTLY what you are looking for. In the USA, we have many auto part chains. Many sell junk parts for cheap. I insist on certain brand names in oil, filters, plugs, and other wear items. If they don;t carry what I want, I don't buy it!! I would only use Mobil One or ELF oil in anything, anyways. Nippondenso Twin TIp plugs for best power and emissions. Bosch platinum and Fusion are OK, too.Hi, what's the best place to buy quality car parts and accesories like spark plugs, motor oil at a reasonable?
Definitely some great options here...

What are some tips for buying a high quality olive oil?
I've been using an organic one from Trader Joe's that I absolutely LOVE...but since there are no stores in this state and I'm running out, I need to find an alternative.
*Rather than just giving me some brand names, can you help me identify what to look for on the bottle? (ie Where the olives come from, where the oil is produced, any added ingredients, type of bottle, etc.)
*Is price always a good indication of quality?
*Is it possible to find a decent EV olive oil at the grocery store, or should I look somewhere else?
*And if yes to the latter, where?
I use this not only in cooking, but also as part of my salad dressings, so taste is a big factor here. I've tried some that tasted like garbage.
Thanks for the help!What are some tips for buying a high quality olive oil?
All you need to know about olive oil:
for extra virgin...
Less than 1% acidity
First press or cold press
Use for salads and breads
Only use for cooking if it is a major flavor component
Use pure olive oil for saute
You can find good olive oil at the store. You don't want added ingredients, you want it free from any additives. Also remember the two things that make olive oil go bad are light and heat. If your olive oil is coming in a dark bottle, there's a good chance that company knows that they are doing. Don't just go by price, just try around until you find one you like.
I can't stress this enough, but extra virgin olive oil is not made for cooking. No matter what you may think, it can be worse to use than pure. First of all, it has a low smoke point so there's a good chance that you'll burn it or any flavor out before you even get your food in the pan. Pure olive oil will keep its flavor better. I know a lot of people think they are purists since they will only use EV olive oil, but not only is it a waste of money, it's a waste of taste. There is absolutely no benefit to cooking with it (unless it's a major component, such as pasta with garlic and oil).
If you want to compare that with something, if you had a $500 bottle of bordeaux, would you rather cook with that, or save that for drinking? It's the same with EV olive oil...cook with the pure, save the EV for flavor in its raw state.
And to remove any misunderstandings from my statement, I am not saying not to cook with a low quality olive oil, I am just saying to use pure, you can use as high of a quality of that as you can find.What are some tips for buying a high quality olive oil?
First of all, you shouldn't use a good quality olive oil for cooking. The flavors will become bitter, and you are wasting money by doing that. Use a lesser quality oil for that. Price is not always a good indication. You can find a good one at grocery stores, depending on where you live. HEB, Harmons, Sunflower Farmer's Market, Whole Food, Trader Joe's. Those are all places that I know will have the good kind.
Look for cold pressed Virgin oil. Sometimes they will call it Extra Virgin. Just make sure it says cold pressed on it.
You'll have to go by taste. Buy, taste, judge... buy, taste, judge... and remember the ones that you like.
Being that different people like different things (you do know this, right?) you cannot have someone tell you an answer that will suffice.
Most stores have organic these days and they are generally better, in my opinion. Store brands are the worst, in my opinion. Price does not necessarily dictate quality or taste.
My favorite is Bella, carried by Publix. Of course many would disagree, as well as agree.
Use Virgin Olive Oil for drizzling only. Olive Oil can be used for cooking. DO NOT USE POMACE OLIVE OIL. It is made from the paste that's left after the pressing. It is used in some kinds of cooking in restaurants who want cheap oil and some people use it in candle making.
Spain, Italy and Greece have some of the finest olive oil in the world. Do not pay attention to brand names, it's all hype. Colors vary from light amber to deep green, and viscosity runs from light to heavy. It's a matter of choice. Forget the small ';gourmet'; oils that are very expensive and no better than the not so famous brands.

Where is the best place (value/quality) to take your car for an oil change?
vw jetta in phoenix.Where is the best place (value/quality) to take your car for an oil change?
Most people would say Jiffy Lube or Ez Lube (California) or any other fast lube providers in your area and most people get good service from these providers but like any other business they are out to make a buck from you. In Los Angeles a news crew for NBC 4 recently did an undercover report and caught 6 out 9 stores that were either selling products that were not needed or sold products that were never change.
My advice to you would be 1) to go to a trusted family mechanic or 2) go to your local VW dealership, most people are scared or don't have the patients to go to the dealership but dealerships give the best service because of thier knowledge of the specific cars they handle.
good luckWhere is the best place (value/quality) to take your car for an oil change?
do it yourself Report Abuse
i usually go to jiffy lube, but an oil change should only take about 15-20 minutes. sometimes you can get stuck there for over an hour and dont let them talk you into buying extra stuff.
All those oil change places do try to sell you more, as well as Goodyear and Goodrich, so you have to stand your ground. Replace your own air filter before you go because they charge a lot for one. I take my car to the dealer. I bought it new and they have info on recalls that aren't readily known because they aren't safety related. Then, I get things done free.
NEVER go to the 'quick lube' shops. They hire inexperienced kids to work there. I have seen many horror tales over the years about damaged vehicles by incompetent employees. Also, they do put alot of pressure on you to buy extra services you dont need. Find a good mechanic. Get some personal recomendations from people you trust in the area. Full Service mechanics will do better work for the same or less money that the 'quick lube' shops.

Is it possible to get quality fish oil on line?
I buy carlson's fish oil on a regular basis in local health store, the super omega from carlson is always around $25, but on the vitaminshoppe website the same item is only half price:
http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=CL-7142
I checked some of the items' label content and compare it with the original ones' sold by local health stores, but found there's slight difference between them. How could it be? Vitaminshoppe also has many local stores throught america, could it sell some fake items on line like those half price carlson's fish oil?Is it possible to get quality fish oil on line?
