Sometimes I get in the mood to walk into an actual auto parts store and ask them to get a part for me, usually my friendly rural neighborhood NAPA store but sometimes the O'Reilly store in the same general area.
And then there are some times I am in the mood to order online, usually from Amazon but sometimes some other parts vendors. I wasn't aware that Home Depot and Walmart sold auto parts, generally, except that I did buy a battery from Walmart a while ago.
I probably would not buy auto parts from Home Depot because that is where I usually get my lumber and home improvement stuff and I am in a completely different mindset when I do auto repair and maintenance.
I like different places for different kinds of things... except for Costco, I suppose. I will buy all kinds of things from Costco. Walmart is where I go to buy some groceries and sometimes some clothing like the Wrangler jeans I wear to do all kinds of things.
