My shop gets 10% off on some things and 30% on others. Note that is off the price people really pay when they walk in the door. NOT off the make-believe price NAPA puts on every bill that NOBODY pays. That being said, even with 30% off, I can buy parts on-line from RockAuto and do better (with no discount).
