"Boulder Napa is useless. Last week I reserved some items online. Brake lines #38881 for the front end and a set of speed bleeders. Never got a call. Went there today and the counter people have no intent or ability to help you. They didn't have my parts. I'm sure I can pick up what I need from Checker/O'Reiley. I won't be visiting Napa anymore out of principle."
Not sure what the heck has happened to Napa, but I have that experience at the two closest ones to me too. At the nearest one, you are lucky if they even acknowledge you are there, and even then they don't know anything about parts or where to look. They are also substantially more expensive. I bought a Busman Fuse block at one of them, but they didn't have something else so I went to an Advance, and Advance sold an IDENTICAL fuse block for more then 10 dollars cheaper. Thats a huge difference for something in the 20-40 dollar range. The closest auto parts place to me is an AutoZone, and they have a chick there who really knows her stuff and is very friendly and helpful, so I usually go there. NAPA used to be the "go to" place, but there are only a few of them in Denver that are that way anymore (Havana Auto Parts and the main warehouse being the two best ones I have experienced). Thats true of most of the Auto Parts chains though. Some stores have knowledgeable staff members and others don't.
I'd come get greasy with ya, but you chose the one weekend where I am going camping and wheeling to do your stuff (its the Toyota Jamboree this weekend).
