Livin' the dream

Good luck Robert. Hope that works out well for you. Just so you know, Advance Auto bought out Corporate Carquest last year. You would probably be a better fit in one of those Pro Jobber Stores with your experience. As for myself, I have been retired from the Auto Parts business as a small chain owner for 15 yrs now. Started in the business at age 17 as a delivery boy for $1.75 an hour. Sold all of my stores to Carquest. The old guys who mentored me through the years advised me to try and buy the commercial buildings I was doing business in, so I did\. To this day Carquest sends $$$ to my bank acct on the first of every month. Built the shop at my home the year I sold to Carquest, so I could have a place to hide out. Now I do a couple of jobs a week, mostly for people from our Church. Of course, I have time for my Hot Rods also. Sue and I have been very Blessed. I do believe we are living the dream.
