Re: Did I get a good deal or ripped off?

Thanks. I thought it was good then started to doubt it until I saw ads online for similar and 2-3 times more in price. How are the Autozone pumps? I see that with the reservoir they are $34 and without they are $38. LMC has them for $79 so how do they compare?

There is no wobble on it. Is it a pain to replace the seals or pretty straight forward once the pump is off?

Companies that do rebuilds like that for Autozone and similar stores kind of have a cheap way of going about the rebuild. Basically they take an old unit apart, fix whatever is wrong with it, clean it, and put it back together with any old parts that weren't considered "broken". Usually these parts are easily spotted because their warranties are only good for a couple years or less. Spend a little extra cash and buy a rebuild unit with a lifetime warranty (all replaceable parts have been replaced with new), or a completely new units.
