around here, NAPA or forget it. Pep Boys, Advanced and Autozone are horrible. I teach them about cars. nothing more I hate than asking for a belt when we change pulley sizes and they try telling me they need the car model and yr to pull it up. No you moron, here is a part number and how to read it for the size.

Luckily NAPA locally has guys that race and own it. plus in a pinch they can get custom aftermarket parts as well.

I honestly go to autozone most of the time. Usually have rewards on my card for the little things and the local stores know when I give them a part number don't ask questions, just get the part.

ooo man. well at least your napa guys understand what the year of a car is and the difference between a cobra and a gt. i had to tell a guy at napa, no lie, 3 times the year and model. he would be like ooo ok so you said a 2004 mustang gt, im like noo a cobra, ok, and you no the rest. and then hed argue with me saying they didnt make a 30 mm sway bar for 2004 and my tool was off and wrong cause they didnt make it. instead of telling me they dont sell it tried to make me look foolish. orielly in my area seems to have people that can at least remember the year and model and then know what you are talking about when you tell them

O'reillys here. I had a buddy who worked there so I know quite a few of the people there. When he first started I used to go to auto zone but after a set of lifetime brakes wore out in a month I switched to o'reillys.
