1. Automotive Weekly Ads in Israel
AutoZone, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Advance Auto Parts, and Pep Boys are the four dominant US automotive retail chains. Each publishes a weekly ad on Thursday covering motor oil, filters, batteries, wiper blades, accessories, and seasonal items. The US automotive aftermarket is a $70 billion industry, and competition between these chains means weekly deals can be substantial — particularly on oil change bundles and battery installation offers.
