So do I, but I don't like my NAPA store anymore since the old manager (and a couple good countermen) left. I used to rant about that place and give people hell for buying online. I have begun buying from the underdog Car Quest store in the old movie theater on Main St, even though they are for all intents and purposes Advance Auto, which is up the hill in the shopping center. The smaller the business the more I like to patronize.
That said, I do buy a lot from Rock Auto these days because they often have the better parts than the big box boys. NAPA has gone downhill, IMO. They are just the earlier version of big box. Back when you had the option of independant parts stores, I never set foot in NAPA. As things changed, they became my default store. Rock Auto offers AC Delco whenever possible as well as Timken bearings, for instance. And at reasonable prices. Their listings have also always been correct. The blower motor resistor I recently bought is a Genuine GM part
