Parts Store Rant, the other side of the story

I am real lucky as far as parts stores go. I have been friends with the assistant manager of my primary place for 30 years. And his staff know their stuff. The second place a childhood friend owns and he takes care of me personally. His staff isn't as good as the first place but they aren't bad. The third place, which is where I buy my paint, has a fellow car enthusiest as the paint expert. I am also friends with the son of the owner of the local Dodge dealership and he runs the parts department. I also went to school with one of the counter guys there. I get Bubba prices or better at all these places.

I guess I have been blessed as far as getting parts. LOL
