Good point Autozone is my least favorite of them all; the RED zone just hurts my eyes. However, the gc 0w30 is there, so I go there only for that oil. Mostly I go to Advance for cleaning products but will go to Napa for some things for my civic and the Wix filters for both my cars.

All around, I gotta say Napa for parts, Advance for cleaning products, Autozone for gc 0w30.. lol.

I'll go to Advance, Autozone, and Pep Boys and honestly there's little difference between them.........I use to work at autozone when I was in college so I'll usually try them first and if they don't have what I need I'll move on to the next closest. In my opinion it seems like whichever one I go in the guy behind the counter doesn't really know what he's talking about......that's another reason I go to autozone, so I look up my parts on the store computer myself.

But all the major auto parts chains seem to have around the same prices on parts, give or take a few bucks here or there. As for service........ah, nothing special.

I have to say auto zone just for the fact that I can rent tools there. But overall I dont like any of them. They hire people that know zippo about cars so anytime I have a question I get 10 opinions and 0 facts... unless I want a set of APC neons and then you see the gerbils really start spinning in their heads and they are f'n experts.

auto zone seems to be "ghetto" to me. all of the auto zones i've been to, their store is about 10xS more disqusting than any other part store i've been in. plus, they don't give military discounts. but they like to sport a huge banner that says "WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" HAHAHAHA..

I choice Napa because they seem to have the best "hard parts".

I generally go to Autozone for the basic needs. But when it comes mechanical parts - I choose Napa.

Man, I cant believe O'reilly's is last, they have always come through for me, more often than not they will have the parts in stock that autozone or advance does not(at least in my experience.....)
