I have a AZ, Adavnced, O'Rileys, and a Carquest within two miles of my house! AZ is slow as molasses, and a couple of years ago the sold me a Detroit brand rebuild gasket set for a Chevy inline six I was putting together. Anybody else ever use this crappy stuff? I have Cut better looking gaskets out of a Captain Crunch box. I have had good luck with their batteries though, only reason to go in there. Advanced has people working the counter who have no interest in cars/trucks and no interest in learning (apparently). I might go back but I'm giving employee turnover a chance to work. 
. O'Rileys opened a couple of years ago and I went in for a valve grind gasket set for a 351w ford. Dude looked it up, walked to the back and brought me a Fel-Pro VG set. Went back for some brake rotors, Wagner-in stock. Definately good for me! They are starting to change though, more and more off-brand stuff. Last brake stuff i got was "Brake Best" brand. CarQuest is an old store here with old guys working there that know their stuff. Not a bunch of fiddling around on the computer or asking stupid questions. You might be in there a while because they like to talk cars but they still have stools on the customer side of the counter in case you want to sit a spell! Only problem is they close at 5:00pm on weekdays and noon on Saturday. Aparently there's more to life than work. Guess where I go mostly?

How about when Parts Stores turn the tables?

Every auto parts store I have gone into asks the same 20 questions about what the vehicle has for motor and options except carquest but that's only because the guy behind the counter was an auto mechanic before he worked there. I cant stand the napa stores in my area we have 4 napa stores that are all within 20 miles of each other and they all have different prices on their parts.
