My closest NAPA store has morphed into a next day ordering site. They now stock only the most fastest moving parts and order just about everything else. We have no Orielys stores in my area but I would like to see one. Dean [Reply]  [No Email]

IE.. smae piece of metal for 69$ could cost 129$ it's not like they had 3, and the expensive one 'looked better' or was built better to last longer. just a warranty / liability 'payment' issue. I took the 3m one.. ran the truck another few years.. sold it to work.. it's still running. what a ripoff.. :) [Reply]  [No Email]

I got a starter for the wife's Chevy 2 months ago at NAPA. Dealer laid 2 starters, cheapest and best side by side on the counter and ask which one I wanted. He had no problem with me looking at both starter before I selected the best one. Sounds to me like you got a crook running the one you use. I've been using the same dealer for years and am very happy with them. Rick [Reply]  [No Email]

I picked up a cheap delco 10si for a case tractor.. and it's the same alternator .. price depends on warranty... so it's not an uncommon practice I guess. and that was only a couple months ago on the alternator..
