It will be mainly used for automotive work.
I'm looking between $500-700, but again that depends on quality. I want something that will last. I cheaped out on the first one(20Gal) and I'm not going that route again. Then again i cheaped out on both the air tools and compressor.
I know snap on for tools, but are they even a good brand for air compressors?

Snap-On absolutely does produce good compressors, BUT the compressor in question alongside the plethora of other Snap-On products sold at Costco are not produced by them or to their standards, rather they are licensing their name to other companies that produce 'consumer grade' products. I believe the compressor in question is produced by Campbell Hausfield.
We use Speedair compressors and they've served us well. I've used Ingersol Rand a lot too and they were great. Snap-On, Mac, Ingersol Rand, and Chicago Pneumatic are all excellent brands of air tools.
I also have the Milwaukee cordless impact gun and it is amazing. It sits alongside a number of other Milwaukee cordless tools that I have that are also amazing, and I plan on buying the Milwaukee cordless ratchet at some point. Electric tools have advanced by leaps and bounds over recent years and I tend to think they would serve you better than air at this point.
