I think that I first became an autogeek customber back in 2007. I was amazed at all of the cool car detail products under one roof. As time has gone on I have continued to purchase more and more to the point where I have quite an extensive collection of tools and I buy about $100 of products per month, usually $50 per two weeks.
Here is the rub... Autogeek's prices are the highest, usually on everything. This did not used to be a problem because the freeship coupon would put prices back in line, if not make Autogeek cheaper overall. In addition to that, on the rare occasion that I found something cheaper somewhere else Autogeek never wanted to match the prices. Sometimes I could get them to agree but then they would tryp to screw me on the shipping! The most recent case in point was last week on the snow cannon currently on sale with Chemical Guys with a 1 gallon Honeydew car wash soap - Chemical guys price was $95 and Autogeek's price was $140. Ultimately, they did not want to match the price because it was a different brand of snow cannon, I am not sure how they came to that conclusion but whatever. It's the same crap they always try to pull. In the end I purchased a snow cannon on eBay for $80 and it works great!
So here is the deal Autogeek...
We are all on a budget. We all know the other company's that operate in your space. We are loyal but we also need to watch our personal expenses. If you keep with the highest prices and shipping costs we will go elsewhere, it's not that we want to but we will. That's why I always call to give you the opportunity on the price match but with your answer always being not or yes with sky high shipping costs - that answer is really no as well. It's seems like either you are spending too much money on your videos or your overhead is too high because frankly from a price perspective you can't compete anymore.
Autogeek is an awesome site and company but don't forget, price is what's most important to us so please don't forget this.
