The NAPA warehouse and store is 3.5 miles straight down a good road from me. They have a wide variation of the same part, from the cheapest Chinese crap parts to the more expensive OEM style crap Chinese parts. All of the other NAPA stores in the area get most of their parts for the warehouse store.

Good parts are almost impossible to get anymore. Just yesterday I had to replace the fan switch on my El Camino. It was either full blast, or low and off. The most used high speed under the tornado speed, was non functional. A new one (4 seasons brand) was 8 bucks and took 30 minutes for the worlds slowest mechanic (me) to replace. The old switch said right on it, Made in USA. I suspect the replacement will only last a few years at most. At least it is easy to replace.
