So you're standing at the parts counter.....

Don't ask em to get the books out from behind the counter to find something!
There was a nice Car Quest with a shop attached to the side , an Autozone went in right down the street, by bye Car quest. This was they type of parts house where the counter people knew parts, plus they supplied the local repair shops, plus they had every kind of hardware in bins, and a body work section etc. You could buy a gallon of paint and paint a car, of course you had to pick a color they had, no mixing...but point is those parts houses are disappearing, and Auto zone really doesn't cut it its Wal mart for auto parts.
