the advance down here at school has retard workers too. they never get the right parts ordered. i ordered an exhaust for my xj and they gave me one for a tj. i said fuck it and returned it and now have just the muffler from auto zone

autozone
the one down here (like across the road from where i work) is full of the nicest people, the owner knows me and whatnot. but a couple of the employees are morons who couldnt tell a spark plug from an 02 sensor. i went in there one time and some guy needed coil spring compressors so this chick brought out a valve spring compressor. The only products i really get from there will either come off the shelf or carry the timken name. never get an electronic part or u joints or ball joints or any of that. most is garbage.
The local advance: never really had a problem, i try to stay away from electrical parts from them as well. havent been in a while because its a little too far.
Napa is the only place i really like. You Might pay a little more, but the guys there know me and give me a crazy discount because im a good customer. They have went out of their way in the past to call up dealerships to find me a certain part.
Fair auto is good peoples

we also have a carquest and mclaughhins over here.
they only stay in business because of their accounts with small shops i bet. i never see anybody in there and everything on the shelf has a layer of dust on it.

this is why I love my NAPA at school. the dude knows me by name and vehicle when I walk in there X2 My Napa guys just ask what part i need that day. They already know the year make and model. |

I always go to napa. They all know me and always give me discounts. If I go to the one near work I get a really big discount and I dont pay tax.
