which auto store do you prefer? Just curious as to which store everyone likes to do business with. I myself prefer Napa. They always seem to have what I need and are usually more helpful.

napa. the owner of the store is cool as hell around here.
autozone is the worst i dealt with... but funny when it comes to bringing in brakes every week by using them up and taking advantage of the lifetime warranty.

I usually end up going to either AutoZone or Advance Auto because of pretty good pricing, and they're local. But I'd honestly rather do all my business with Jeg's or Summit Racing.

i almost always go to autozone because they usually have what i need...although they are the biggest bunch of dee dee dee's around. the NAPA guys are the best to deal with around here but very rarely have anything i need in stock. i only go there when i know it is something that Autozone won't have on the shelf.

I usually go to Murray's for most everything. But for some items I'll hit NAPA, Pep Boys, or Autozone as well.

I voted for Autozone, for a few reasons. First off i used to work there, so i know how they opperate their stores, how their system works and how they treat their employees, thats NOT to say i haven't gone to Advanced/Discount. If i couldn't the price any lower with AZ then naturally i'll swing by Advanced/Discount. But Napa's cool too, i used to go to one near me once in a while, the guys at the Napa i used to frequent were ALL gear heads, so un like you all corporate stores they really know what your talkin about when it comes to model specific stuff (especially), on the other hand because the one i'd go to was privately owned the prices were sometimes a little silly but oh well, just my $.02

I voted NAPA 'cause the others aren't in Canada....Autozone is where I usually go when I am in Wash. State or elsewhere.

I have Advance, AZ, PepBoys Carquest, and Napa and the only one that doesnt have idiots working for them is Napa, CQ and PepBoys so I go there. After numerous dealing with idiots at our AZ and Advanced stores both for personal use and Professional(I work in the industry) I wont walk in an AZ nor Advance.

the Napa around here is horrible. THey have like regular business hours and are never open. Plus they charge too much. I got to autozone cause I have that card that gets me $20 after 5 $20 or more purchases (AKA 20% off )

I use O'Reillys, just because most of them know me, and they leave me alone, and don't ask questions like why do you want vette o2s when you have a T/A
The AZ in town, is staffed by people who have such thick accents I can't understand a word they say
