steve sr, have no fear my man. I have a very touch skin! I was actually saying that for Lugnutz benefit as we are friends and the stores I mentioned usually have one on every corner which means there is no need for them to put "some" services in every store. I always try to do local but as you mentioned, some of the great local stores are being pushed out. Advance Auto recently bought up CARQUEST but for some reason NAPA seems to hangon......and I mentioned this sometime ago that the counter help at NAPA are "almost" always brighter, meaning mechanically inclined, to know more about parts and what is going on than the rest put together and they are usually older, more mature, and stay on the job a lot longer!
Not all...but most in my neck of the woods.
