The difference between independents and corporate owned. An independent gets to chose his inventory whereas corporate owned we have to go pretty much by corporate inventory with an ability to adjust from there.

Yeah, it can be a pain in the *** for us to get refill blades, but we can usually have 'em that same afternoon or the next morning out of one of the HUBs. (I'm speaking Advance, since I'm a manager there.) Since we'll sell 1000 wiper blades vs one refill blade you can see why we stock like that and since most newer vehicle have gone to a beam style blade...
