YA'LL ARE MAKIN' ME FEEL BAD...
I just quit my job of 5 years at a NAPA store. I went to a local wholesale auto warehouse that sells to the local parts stores... I have been in the Parts business for 16 years... hell, If I had sold parts to all ya'll, I would not have quit. I got tired of people asking for "that little silver thing with the wire on it, thats under my car. my mechanic says I need, and where does it go?" only to find out its the oxygen sensor... Or...get this
A guy bought a can of R-134 freon and wanted a screwdriver to poke a hole in the top of the can,to pour into his compressor he had just taken' the lines off the back off in the parking lot... now I sell to the knowledgeable parts guys/gals...lot less headache's....but I do agree NAPA does have good parts, and usually better parts people. If not, Hell, tell the owner, they are all mostly independently owned, let them know its the people that make you go there, it might help get better people, or help pay to keep the better people there.
