Old as shit thread but Matt is right. The ladies behind the counter at NAPA know more about cars, trucks and tractors than 95% of the mouse clickers at any other parts store. I never worry about talking over their heads.Advance if its a price hunt (fuel/oil/air filters and misc BS) because eof the online coupons.
Napa if I actually need help or need to fit an oddball part or match a belt of find that "custom" radiator hose for a TJ with a Novak v8 radiator, or get anything for the tractors, etc. They also make hydraulic hoses, and its 3 women behind the counter in Stanley and they know their stuff. Plus they will usually run it on some big discount commercial account if i wink at em just right.
That new guy at NAPA in Stanley is an asshat. Complains about everything, cusses too much, and just generally has a bad attitude and yet is cocky about it. Also gave me the wrong width v-belt the first time I dealt with him, even though it was printed right on the belt. I didn't notice until I got home of course.Old as shit thread but Matt is right.

Haven't dealt with him yet. Is this the guy that drives the Audi or whatever? He followed me out one day and was trying to talk to me. Sounded too much like a yankee so I wasn't listening.That new guy at NAPA in Stanley is an asshat.

Now That’s doing something for someone on here to be criticizing his cursing.....That new guy at NAPA in Stanley is an asshat.

F bombs and such in front of customers you don't know just seems completely unprofessional.Now That’s doing something for someone on here to be criticizing his cursing.....
Blue steel?There is a really really really good looking guy that works at the advance auto on S. Tryon near Carowinds Blvd. Word is he’s been around the block a few times, and is really good at destroying Toyota’s..
What hours does he typically work? I've been going to all the Ft Mill stores since they opened 10-15yrs now. That Advanced used used to be the closest one other than Napa on S Tryon.There is a really really really good looking guy that works at the advance auto on S.

Just reading this old thread, but WHAT?!?!? Loop Rd kicked ass. When I lived on that side of town that was the place to go. They had an in-house machine shop as well. I had no idea they were gone although I was worried when that NAPA opened right in front of them forever ago. I saw someone else mentioned Western Auto; I think my first trips/purchases for auto parts were at the one that used to be in Raleigh off Tryon Rd. Good times.I think what bothers me than no CQ around anymore, is the LOOP RD AUTO PARTS is gone. Those guys were awesome. Pretty well stocked, especially foreign make car parts. And usually had the tool or tap to get you out of a jam. And they were gear heads on the counter that knew and understood why you’d have corvettejeepmustangdoge parts on that same vehicle.
