You gotta love peoples "car knowledge"

Not to say I haven't had bad experiences, but I have to speak up in defense of my parts guys.......
At my local Advanced Auto, when they are disposing of the magazines from the previous month, if there are any magazines with a Demon on them they hide one behind the counter and I get a present. This is the same store that I went to order some parts at, the parts were going to be there the following day, but I didn't have a ride so I told them it was probably going to be a couple of days till I'd be able to find a way to get up to the store and pick them up. The guy working that day then says, "no problem, I'm going to be going past your house tomorrow when I get off, I'll bring them by." They helped me ID the brake calipers on my car, have found the correct parts for me without fail, and have willingly pointed me to another store when they thought it would save me money. All of this, and not once has anyone been condescending to me, nor have they ever answered my inquiries by speaking to my boyfriend which, sadly, is a common occurrence at other stores.

I also frequent the NAPA at school and the guy who works the counter there is a student at my school. He is knowledgeable and at the same time will not guess if he doesn't know the answer. He pulls the book out and I get the correct part every time without fail.
