| :) Ha! Seems like PepBoys and "other" is winning... Mustangbelle306, I'll make sure never to go to the the "Pep Beeyatchz" in Pleasantville, NJ.  82GT, how ya been?! I've been back here for about a 1.5 weeks so far. ...Miss my buddies here... As far as the parts stores, I think much of the quality has to do with the service quality and parts quantity. Between AZ and AAP, both quality and quantity seem to fluctuate, whereas it has only gotten better with the PepBoyses (<---plural of PepBoys--just in case you were wondering  ) in my area. HA! and one of th AAPs that my friend goes to, this woman behind the counter likes to argue with him on what part he needs. He always makes it a point to rub it in her face when he proves her WRONG without a shadow of a doubt... quite entertaining it is....

| I go to Kragen Auto parts here. It's also called checkers and Shuck's in other places. Friendly ppl, and they have all kinds of lifetime warranty parts. Good prices too.

| I used to think NAPA carried a slightly superior line of parts than most discount chain stores. I went to buy some O2 sensors one day, went to NAPA and they handed me this cheap looking piece of junk with a very short harness connector wire and wanted $75.00 for one of them. I said "no thanks", proceeded to "Autozone" where I got the same "bosch" 02 sensors that Ford uses from the factory for $40.00 a piece. Havent been back to Napa for parts since. |

| Re: Which is your favorite general auto parts store? Here in Michigan we have Murray's Auto Parts. I have a Murray's, Pep Boys, and Autozone all within 1 mile of my house. Although I do not like Pep Boys the best, I usually end up going there because it is the most convenient one to get to from my house. Pep boys does auto repair in-house too. However, I wouldn't go near it.

| Re: Which is your favorite general auto parts store? I always go to a place called Hedahls, they have several of them in Minnesota and I think a couple of the surrounding states. If they dont have it or cant get it, I go to Napa, which is pretty rare.

| Re: Which is your favorite general auto parts store? I just moved to Florida to work at Cruisin' Style Magazine from Detroit and in the Motor City the big chain is Murray's - they rock. It wasn't until the last couple years, in fact, that Auto Zone and Pep Boys started popping up there. What's really crazy is there will be a Murray's on the corner and right across the intersection on the other corner is Pep Boys or Autozone. |
