NAPA on Glendale basically wholesales to everybody. There's little or no extra discount for us there, though yes, we can get those blades or any other maintenance item for anybody who asks. But after markup to cover credit card fees etc., we'd actually have to charge you more than they would in most cases. We typically use Kragen/O'Reilly for most non-OE parts, and they're usually a bit cheaper. Our market from wholesale price is larger than the wholesale discount, so we can usually beat a Kragen price.
O'Reilly lists Anco, Rain-X and Bosch for Subarus in wiper blades, no inserts that I can find. The Aerovantage blades would cost $7.97 passenger/$9.11 driver each. They have some standard ones that are a little more than half of that, and they carry some winter blades cheap that I like to use. I personally prefer the cheaper blades because I like to switch between the winters and the el cheapos depending on season.
I meant to post last week that we'll throw in wiper blades and washer fluid for free with a 15k or higher service. Now you all know.
