Introduction
What I am evaluating is three online automotive part stores. What’s going into my evaluation
will include windshield wipers, and different types of fluids. It will also include the layout of the website,
there is the fluids, like coolant, motor oil, transmission fluid ect.

The reason why I am evaluating these items is because the cost of an item will be different for
each website store.

Scope
This report evaluates three different online automotive part stores. The items in questioning
are windshield wipers, motor oil, transmission fluid. I’m going to evaluate O’Reilly Auto Parts, AutoZone
Part Store, last but not lest Napa Auto Parts. The reason for this evaluation is for some of the viewers
can get an idea on how much windshield wipers, motor oil and transmission fluid cost at each auto part
store that’s online.

The evaluations of these online auto part stores determined how well the layout of the site is
and the cost of each item in questioning. Each item from the different online auto part stores can be
very pricy. The layout for each auto part store is the same when it comes to the parts that you are
looking for.

These online auto part stores do have a store that you can walk into that has auto part techs.
The techs can also look up the items that you are looking for. The items that are in questioning are
display on shelfs or on display stands. If you have trouble looking for the right sizes wipers or weight of
motor oil, or what kind of transmission fluid your vehicle takes. The Tech can look it up for you, give you
the location of the item or he can go get it for you. Online auto part stores can do the same thing but
faster.

The conclusion of my evaluation for the viewers, Is that the prices of windshield wipers, motor
oil and transmission fluid from three different online auto part stores. What size each store has in motor
oil and transmission fluid, windshield wipers.

I have found many types and styles and sizes of windshield wipers at all three websites. I even
found many types and sizes of motor oil and transmission fluid on all three websites.

Criteria 1: Windshield wiper

Windshield Wipers are not that hard to change without a mechanic shop. You can get windshield
wipers at any kind of store that sells them. Windshield Wipers are not that expensive to buy.

Criteria 2: Motor Oil

Motor oil would need to be changed every 3000 mile or every three months. You can change
engine oil yourself without a mechanic.

Criteria 3: Transmission fluid

 Transmission Fluid can be very pricey to get changed. Some vehicles would need to be taken
into a mechanic shop to get changed or checked.

Evaluation
Windshield Wipers
O’Reilly Auto Parts:
I was looking up how much windshield wipers are on O’Reilly’s website. There are
a few kinds of windshield wipers like Rain-X, Bosch Spectrum and Rain Guard, ect. The
prices for the driver side of the vehicle ranges from $9.99 to 29.99 depends on the type
of wiper blades you get. These prices from O’Reilly Auto Parts, are for a 2000 Pontiac
Sunfire.

AutoZone:
Went to the website of AutoZone and type in windshield wipers. AutoZone also
has a few different kinds of wiper blades. They have Duralast, Bosch Micro Edge, Rain X
AdvanEdge, ect. The cost of their windshield wipers for the driver side of the vehicle
range from $6.99 to $34.99 depends on the type of windshield wipers you get. These
prices from AutoZone are for a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire.

Napa Auto Parts:

Went to the website of Napa Auto Parts Looking for windshield wipers blades.
Napa has a different types of windshield wipers blades. They have snow blast wiper
blades, Napa Beam wiper blades, Trico Ice ect. The prices for the wipers at Napa ranger
from $8.99 to 26.99 depending on the wiper blades for the driver side of the vehicle. This
are the prices for the website for Napa Auto Parts. These prices from Napa Auto Parts are

The cost for windshield wipers for the driver side ranges from $9.99 to 29.99. Motor Oil comes
in quarts or in 5 quarts jugs and motor oil also comes in a 55gallon drum. The cost for motor oil ranges
from $4.99 to $2,049.99, It also depends on the type of motor oil you get or in quarts, in a 55gallon
drums. The cost for transmission fluid ranges from $5.79 to $1,596.99, it is also “just like motor oil”
depends on the type or size of transmission fluid. The prices for the items in question depends on
what auto part store you go to or their website.

Windshield wipers, Motor Oil and Transmission fluid can be very helpful when it comes to
weather, engine life and transmission life. Windshield wipers help take water off the windshield to
help you see better in bad weather, Motor Oil helps lubricate the components inside the engine,
Transmission fluid like motor oil lubricates all the gears inside the transmission. The cost of each item
in questioning varies on the vehicle type.
