we have a couple around still, but are dying off and the service isn't what it used to be 20 years ago when I was running around chasing parts. Most of the employees who work there are a bunch of guys from south of the border with limited understanding of how things are really go together, but they are learning. The days of the typical looking flannel shirt, long beard man who can ID something as soon as you walk into the store is going away fast. They are mostly likely the owner. I love those places. Get in, they go and grab it for you and out of there to start my 3 hour lunch.
