What is your favorite auto parts store ?

I find myself buying too much stuff when I go into Pep Boys. What's your favorite store and why?

Google.

I do all of my parts shopping online. You can get unbelievable deals buying multiple parts from an online supplier.

Pep Boys is awesome for air fresheners and go-karts.

Online for performance parts.

Advance Auto for stock replacement type parts.

Depends on what I need. McReilly, Peep Boys or Awful Zone if I need an air freshener to go.
Real auto parts are found at the stores where auto repair shops get their stuff.

I get all my stuff from advance. If your a ricers go to pep boys. They sell a lot of stickers and wings. If you like redoing your work because of junk replacement parts get duralast from autozone.

Chain auto part stores are OK for picking up cleaning supplies and oil/fluids. You could get a better deal on oil at other places though.

It depends on what I need, who has the best price, and who actually has it. There is one local place that has some hard to find stuff, and on top pf that, its the closest of them all.
