The new AutoZone.

I've had good luck and bad with all the chain parts stores. Each store depends on its management in my opinion.

Re: O'Reilly looks to expand out west

O'r seems to hire "older" guys who at least know the basics of car repair, which is more than can be said for AZ/AA etc.

Re: O'Reilly looks to expand out west

The one that just opened up near me charges more than Advance on most things. I only go to AZ as a very last resort.

Re: O'Reilly looks to expand out west

I have an application for them. I want to get the job of delievering parts. I think they are going to be hiring this spring form what the manager told me. My brothers ex told me Monday that she knows the guy that owns it. He lives in Springfield MO. Her husband went to school with him. I like the way they always have the shelves stocked good. They carry a lot of detailing products.

Bummer that they are just buying CSK. I was hoping to get another alternative to Schucks.
