They make top shelf parts from all of there stuff I have used.
I agree the ARCO is the best way to go. AutoZone and Advance sell low end stuff, but around here NAPA still carries high quality parts.

As far as it goes in the automotive end, I don't care if you buy AUTOZONE, ADVANCE, NAPA, CARQUEST, and most any other big name chain they will all be built by the same company out of Mexico if it is a reman unit. I've bought from all of em, and they are all the same crappy builds internally. ADVANCE does carry REMY brand which is a 100% new unit for starters and alternators, but I still wouldn't be willing to take a chance on one in a boat when you can buy an ARCO that you know will work for many years.
