just found out yesterday that not only does kragen price match partsamerica(which is a sister company of kragen) but they also match competitors' prices plus a 5% discount. so u can take a printout from online from rockauto or summit and they'll price match on the spot.
i was going to place a large order for maintenance parts with rockauot, which seems to have the lowest prices on oem parts but now will go through kragen.

They have been doing that for a long time. Some Kragen's managers might give you a hard time about price matching Summit, Jeg's and any out of the area competitors though.

I knew they matched but if you ever have to return the product as in using the warranty you will have to pay the price difference. I just had that happen on a alternator. I brought it back in because it stopped working. The gave me a new one, but I had to pay that price match difference since it was not the store price. Its like a glitch in their system, where they cant issue the return unless its paid for and since your old part was cheaper when applied to the new part it wont release it from their inventory so you have to pay the diff. May not matter in a long run, but it pissed me off.

They ripped you off. They could have just did a warranty exchange or modified the price during the return. If they did this recently you should go talk to a manager or ask to speak to their district manager.
