2 years ago I purchased one from O Reillys for my girlfriends 98 and now its leaking again so I want a good one this time.

 

i used one from napa it was like 78 bucks... at ther time i priced one out at o rileys and they want 43 dollars so i decided to go with the napa

on my own cars and trucks i always use napa parts

but i'd recommend NAPA

 

NAPA? You sure?

 

that what i been using for the last 5 years and i've never had nay problems with there parts

i use napa gold filters every oil change.... maybe you've had a bad experience with them but so far I've enjoyed my experience with napa nd there parts

so thats my 2 cent

 

I was just messin. Napa does have good parts though. I just don't go to my local one cuz owners and employees are a bunch of ***holes. The type that think they are doing YOU a favor by selling you THEIR parts.

 

yeah there in 4 napa locally and there are 2 i don't go to cause there just like that

 

I just hate franchise parts stores in general. Local shops run by old guys who know what a u-joint is are the ones to go to. Back home, Black diamond auto parts was the place to go. I could walk in, say "I need a pinion seal for my dana 60 in the back of my 72 dodge." Dennis wouldn't ask what motor, transmission, 4wd, air conditioning, interior color... none of that. He would walk back, grab the part, and sell it at a discounted price because he knew me. Nothin like that here in Shreveport, thats for sure...

 

I have been dealing with the same couple parts stores for the better part of two decades...... I get the "smiling customer" discount. Everyone there knows who I am. Most of the time, I don't even have to tell them what vehicle, they just ask me "Truck or Van this time?" Its great. The store? Advance Auto. Even the franchise stores can be good.

 

lol....the other day i went in there and gave the part number i wanted for the auto lite plugs 3923

i said i need 8 auto light 3923 spark plugs and then he asked what year make and model and if my truck was 4x4 and i told him thats the part number i'll walk back there and get them myself.............i'm not going back to that Orilleys every again

 

Just doin there job, no need to be rude about it. I'm sure your none business won't hurt them.
