A question for the military folks

**joecollectin** · 03-09-2015, 07:47 AM

NG here, just signed up yesterday but have been reading for about 2 months. My question to the military folks; is it cheaper to buy the PC from Home Depot or Lowes since they give a 10% military discount? I realize I'll have to buy the backer plates separately but was wondering if it made better money sense to buy from them vice AG.

Thanks

Well if you have to buy plates and pads separately, why not just order everything you need from AutoGeek during a sale?

I went the even cheaper rout and bought a HF DA polisher locally. I then used my discount here to get the backing plates and pads. The polisher works great.

AFAIK they don't sell the PC at Lowe's anymore, and never sold it at Home Depot.

Thank you for the responses. HD does carry them ([
It may be more economical to buy a package deal when AG has on of their sales.

I'd contact nick, or anyone AG for that matter, they price match!

Oh, sorry, I didn't know they sold them online, I know they don't have them in the store.

First off - thanks for your service.

Second - the model you see at the Home Depot isn't the automotive model but the polishing model for construction. Check the model #s and the PC website to see the differences. Might work but I'd go with all stuff from AGO so you know it all fits right.

Wait for the 20% off and free shipping discount through AG.

Get a list going and be ready. Sign up for the emails.

I agree with above. Catch a 20% sale from AG & snag everything at once. BTW, I've been able to get the 10% military discount from HD by threatening to take my business to Lowes. That "L" word works wonders!
