I remember when they were Parts America and you could use your Sears charge card there as they were part of Sears Roebuck.

Bush’s fault.

Advance Auto CEO Darren Jackson said the company was not avoiding the question by not providing a clearer picture on the number of stores and distribution centers that might close.
So you just did the merger by guess and by golly? Twenty First Century management - as "clear and concise" as Twenty First Century "journalists."

Could it be because there are too many parts stores within a block of each other in most larger areas? Wherever I’m at, if I see one, there are two competitors within a block, sometimes next to each other.

The knowledgeable ones who know parts and vehicles will no doubt be a majority of any cuts.

I’m not a super automotive guru and forgot a lot over the years but most of the people that I run into working the counters don’t know much beyond the computer.

I have AA within 2 miles and O’Reilly, NAPA & Autozone along with another AA within 10. They all have more or less the same stuff for the same price, so I don’t know how they all stay in business. It’s nice to have a store so close when a battery goes bad or you need something else quickly, but I prefer to plan ahead and buy online when I can.
