The Pep Boys store in Reseda is better than that. I always take my questionable batteries there because their diagnostic testor works so well.
They are very helpful with things behind the counter and have even invited me to go in the back to look for a radiator hose or other parts to fit. I guess we have more custom cars here.
I don't like their electrical parts. The alternators and starters just don't last very long. Even with a "lifetime warrenty" it's a pain to keep replacing the things. They sell really cheap tires, too.
Last time I went to get plugs, I told them about the Brodix heads and started describing the reach and heat range. They just gave me all the spark plug catalogs and asked me to tell them what I wanted. I like the NGKs with three electrodes and got a set for $2 each.
The stores here have miles of stuff for rice rockets and all kinds of lights. It's just like browsing through a JC Witney Catalog in real life.
My favorite parts supplier is eBay. You just cannot beat the prices. If I need something quick, I go to PAW.
