The O Reilly family back in Springfield has enough money and their stockholders can go pound sand. Back in Mo. the small towns close by had two independent parts stores, I bought all I could from them unless I was ordering from like Rock. Why Because I got good parts wih a LIFETIME guarantee by that local OWNER and better prices than O Reilly down the street.
Her in our little Tx. town, about 2 years ago, a guy moved in an bought out the local parts store. He raised the prices bad and went broke in less than a year. I bought ONE part fro him and figured out quick he was a bandit!
