man you gotta learn to talk in complete sentences....

im not sure what your question is, but i like advance. They give me good deals, and ive befriended all the employees in there. But then again, i have one of the summit stores about 30 mins from me, so if i need somethin cool i can just ride out there.

Rain is wet.Why is the sky blue? I like milk.The moon is round.I wonder if it is cold in Alaska.I think trees make noise when they fall if no one is around.

I order from Summit if it's something I can't get locally or is a lot cheaper than I can get locally. I don't like Advance that much. I like them for name brand stuff but I will only buy name brand stuff like if I need oil or a filter or something like that. Sometimes I will get in a bind and have to get something else but it seems like if you buy their axles, water pumps, etc stuff like that it doesn't seem to want to last. I like Napa for all that stuff. As far as parts stores go I like Napa best followed by Fishers. Then Advance for name brand stuff that I get instead of ordering it from Summit or similar.

Napa, AutoZone, O'Rieley's, Advance, etc all get there parts from the same vendors. Chassis parts is a good example of it, because Federal Mogul makes them for different people that box them in their own boxes. Air conditioning is another one that is one vendor (Four Seasons) makes product and you as a parts store pay for what line of product you want and what warranty you want to offer your customers. I will admit that some products are of lesser quality than others, but in the long run it is basically comes off of one assembly line and does not know which brand box it is going into.
