Parts Store Rant, the other side of the story

Here in Victoria we have a couple of real good stores the JB Autoparts store downtown is fantastic , the guys will come out oin the parking lot and look at your car and listen to it run or whatever you can't figure out and give you the best advice they can , the local NAPA however { and I've never had a problem with NAPA anywhere else } asked what a carb spacer was I told them they just answered their first question of " can I help you " and walked out , The Carquest stores in Lansing MI were like the JB here very smart car guys willing to help you even if it cost them a sale , one guy found me a used rear end for my brand x for 150 instead of trying to ream me for all the parts to rebuild mine -great guys in my book
