I am thinking of purchasing a front brush bar for my Discovery I from one of these two businesses. Aside from price differential, does anyone have an opinion one way or the other on their merchandise, customer relationships, quality? |

I have bought from both with pleasant experiences. I would base it on the price and product that best fits your needs. If both are equal, then maybe consider shipping distances. I think both will give you equal service. |

I've had good luck with both. I do order more from AB because they are closer to me and I get the order the next day. What kind of brushbar are you looking for? Maybe someone on this board has one for sale for a fraction of the price. Good luck. |

John, Ive used AB for lots of years on many different Rovers (RR's,D90,D1) and have had nothing but great dealings w/ Brad and Mike. Always good stuff, great service and never a prob w/ the few times I returned stuff. Never dealt w/ DAP, but never heard anything bad either. As w/ any Rover parts supplier, check around on the prices to make sure everyone is in line.....FWIW. |

They are both very good. AB is more for OEM parts though. If each company offers the identical product, buy from whoever's cheaper. |

I've dealt with both. AB since about '77 or so, Al at DAP since about '79 or '80. Nothing but exceptional experiences with Al. I rarely buy from AB anymore, unless they are the only folks who have the part I'm looking for. |
