Stop in for a cup of coffee

My buddy Doug who fixes my daily driver for me yelled at me and my kid for buying parts on line...

He says to support the local parts stores so they don't go out of business...

He gets a 'shop discount' at the local O'reiley's by his house, plus his son works there... And with his account being there, he can take advantage of any warranty on the parts when needed...

So I go to O'reiley's for my parts, or let him order them when he fixes my car....


Do I need to have Doug call you and give you 'the speech'????
I agree. But i do online orders when my guy cant supply or the price is way out of line. Both happened in the week before vacation.
