I tend to favor Advance AutoParts and O'reilly's (the former Murray's).
We have 3 AutoZones in my county (one is the closest of any parts store to me being a 2 minute drive). Speaking for the 3 AutoZones around me, I adopted the rule "If I cannot get it myself off the shelf, it's not worth even stopping in". They grossly understaff the stores, so in the time I'm waiting to check out, I probably could have drove to a further store and back. Plus, if I need them to look a part up, odds are high, they won't have it. Lastly, they have turned over so many people, they hire people that don't understand anything about selling auto parts.
Now, the other two places, they turn over their staff far less and 99% of the time, they have what I need.
I'm sad that a manager of my local Advance AutoParts went to a different store further away (but so far, the person filling his spot seems good).

I have started to use Factory Motor Parts, they seem to have both experienced staff & the part you need. They almost seem to supply the repair shops more than retail, I call for what I need & stop by will call and grab it. Most of the others have staff that know less than I or just don't care.
Not just any Pepboys, But the Pepboys at 5 S Rte 17 Hasbrouck Heights NJ. They take care of me like I know all about cars! Ha ha, little do they know I only know enough to be Dangerous! Ha Ha Ha!
I go to NAPA around here, because they are the only ones who seem to know what they are talking about.
I asked Advanced Auto for a Anti rattle clip for my brakes, they told me it was a GM part only so they didn't carry it and i had to go to the dealer...
