I am not but is on the radar. I compared federated. bumper to bumper, napa and tech net. Seemed Tech Net had the most bang for the buck in my opinion.

Re: Carquest Technet
My local Carquest salesman recently told me about it and I asked him to get more information for me. I agree, it seems to offer us quite a bit. Will wait and see what they come up with.

Re: Carquest Technet
We have it. We get a % back from sales. Also you get put on a list. This list is helpful if one of our customers call and say "Hey (say that like Si would) I am broke down in Needham Ma." I get in the list and say "Hey call 781-444-2620, that is Kaiser Automotive they are TechNet certified. Give them a call and see what they can do for you."
I also believe that it may help on the warrenty end. But I am not to hip on that part.
Oh yeah, there/their/they're is a cost involved.

Re: Carquest Technet
The warranty program is great plus you get identifix and a preferred installer means when someone calls the part store for help locating a shop you get mentioned. It also attaches you to the carquest website so you'll pop up in a search.

Re: Carquest Technet
So is this program similar to what NAPA has - NAPA Car Care Center type thing?

Re: Carquest Technet
I don't deal with any NAPA store but it wouldn't shock me. Competition is pretty stiff with he parts suppliers. I have a local Toyota Dealership that allows me access to their tech service if i purchase my parts from them. The same goes for the local Ford and G.M. dealer.
