Just priced a belt tensioner for my 2007 Camry. Ridiculous $240 from O'Reilly's and Advance Auto Parts was $114.99. Exact fit, same description plus built by the OEM for Toyota . I even called the Boone store to double check...same price as Ames. Ask if they had some other option and told them the price difference but they said no. In stock at Advanced but O'Reilly's had to order. I guess I thought you guys were suppose to be the cheapest but I will definitely shop around in the future.

Last night I had stopped in at my local store (#740) in Ames, IA, with a friend and bought 2 oil filters, and 6 quarts of motorcycle oil. While we were in the process of changing the oil in our bikes, the drain plug in my bike was giving me problems getting stripped so I wanted to replace it. At 8:40 I called the store and talked to someone about getting a new one. They were helpful in telling me all I needed, and what they had. I asked them how late they were open and he said another 15 minutes, so I rushed out the door and took my friends truck to the store. I pulled in the lot, and stepped out of the truck at 8:58, an employee saw me looked right at me then ran up to the door and got the lock. I thought he was unlocking it because he saw me. Then while I was walking past the window to the door he walked right up to the window and turned off the open sign, again looking right at me. I pulled on the door and he had locked it. Then he took off his O'Reilly shirt and walked to the back.
