Nope, I don't think I'm quite that brave.

No reviews because no one would buy Porsche parts at WallyWorld.
They have probably sold zero.

Ha!
If you look at the branding on that (Rareelecrtical) They are all over the place: Wally, Ebay, Amazon,etc.
At least the picture looks good!

With one exception at least for me: Battery. Can't remember the brand name but part # H7 comes to mind although I'm not 100% sure on this. Less than $200 and closer to $150 with core exchange as I recall it. Works just fine. Lifetime seems on par with much more expensive options that I've bought in the past. Perfect factory fit too as long as you get the right one.

I got a really good deal on the 997 cabin filter. Turns out it was from autozone and walmart is just providing the trade platform.

Ok, maybe I would buy windshield washer fluid from Walmart, or oil, but no “parts”

When it's on sale, Walmart has the best price for Mobil 1.

The last time I worked on our X5 I bought everything through WallyWorld. Cabin filters, a new expansion tank, pressure cap, and coolant.

I drove down the road to purchase my new battery….

It's not like WMT is actually selling it. They are just web front end for other vendors just like Amazon does. And it's exactly why they are doing it, to compete with Amazon.

Despite that, there are still things I wouldn't buy unless I knew the actually seller.

Exactly how I ended up with my first Wal Mart battery. Couldn't swallow what the dealer was asking. And of course it's not a battery made by Wal Mart. As I said, I can't remember the brand name now but it's well known. Found the receipt for the latest one which doesn't specify the make/brand but it was $163.00 so less than half of what the dealer is asking. I usually don't keep cars long enough to know how long they last but I know it's at least 3-4 years.
