Evening guys, I finally got round to popping into a well known auto factors today (doesn't matter which, I'm sure), I asked for OEM standard parts for my '05 Legacy. He took the reg number and said he had it all in, I was only after air and oil filters and a sump plug washer.

He gave a price which seemed very low (like, crazy low compared to similar purchases for other cars) and went and got the bits. The brand name is Blue Print which I haven't heard of before.

Now, there are two questions here which I hope you can help with.

First, has anyone heard of Blue Print and what sort of reputation do they have? Their website says what you'd expect so I need some objective comments.

Second point, and this is where I feel I may have been taken for a chump; I asked for a sump plug washer and he came back with a blister pack with a washer and a new sump plug! Really??

I haven't used this auto factor before and depending on your answers I may not use them again.

Let's hear it guys.
Ta.
