Re: Parts

[Gary Wilson <Gwwilson67@xxxxxxxxx>]

I also have an account with NAPA, and get a break from them and also have a friend who gets a better break than I do as he has his own repair shop and will let me use his name if I want.  I just don't abuse it.  Still Rock auto beats there prices most of the time.
