I appreciated your rant. Tks.
I too like NAPA. Just performed a brake job on my buddies F-350 towtruck, and they had all the parts right there in stock. I expected the pads to be in stock, but the caliper and rotor assembly's as well, really impressed me. Not to mention that; I brought with me several minutes worth of questions, that we went thru one by one.
I like to stick with what I am most comfortable with. And after reading your post, I know that I need not venture out of my comfort zone for curiosity. I guess I can be confident that I chose the right parts store to take my hard earned dollar to. Again Thank You.....
