Default I'm Getting a PC cant decide from where!

IM debating where to get my PC from. Auto geek vs Autopia. Which kit has better pads ease of pad change etc. They are around the same price but Auto Geek gives you a bit more stuff. Discuss.

neither imo...
cause you are paying about $50 to $80 more for the kits- and you dont get to choose the pads.

or, you can buy the machine for about $100
and then get whatever pads you want probably for less than $50!

Probably getting mine from Lowe's for $109. No shipping prices to worry about!

That's what I did. Snagged the PC at Lowes for $109 and bought a velcro backing plate and pad combo from Meguiars. Ended up very close to $150 after tax and shipping.

If you end up going that route, take the pad that comes with the PC and see how far you can throw it. Buy nice ones to use on your S.

Try Lowes or Home Depot. Right around $100. bucks. Any auto specialty shop even mail order is going to be significantly more.

Is this the one you guys are getting? Did the price go up? or do you just have to wait for a sale? or is this the wrong one?

either pc 7424 or 7336 is good. 7336 is same thing but with a heavier counterweight so it vibrates a bit less. u can also try finding a 10% off coupon from lowes. good luck

p.s. try typing ur zip code to the textbox for instore availabilty and u'll see it listed as $109 in the store (assumin there's a lowes close enough to you)
