What he said. I don't expect to get engine parts for my OHC V6 Olds off the shelf - Olds only motors. No one had an alternator for it the other day. NAPA got me one the next day. Which I ended up not needing and they did not charge me anything for ordering it, they just sent it back. But I can get brakes & suspension parts anywhere since they are common GM mid-size parts.


I used to hate seeing odd ball cars come into the bays when I was in service. Cars like mekurs and sterlings. No one had those damn parts. Not even pads. lol

Feather-light suspension, Konis just couldn't hold. I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors.
