Our hours are ****** because we cater to auto shop hours, which usually are 9-5 or 8-5, which I believe sucks in many ways because there are those afterhour times that people need something, but they were at work and couldn't come down. Advance auto, Autozone,etc cater to walk in customers which is why they stay up later, and prices are cheaper, but as I always say, you get what you pay for. I don't know what Autozones oil is, but Advance Auto's is Havoline. It has a ton of detergent in it because it's mixed with recycled oil. Back in the day I would get a little nausiated from the smell their oil would emit from the detergent.
I like NAPA, but even sometimes I say god that price is a little high, but like I said, we cater to shop pricing, not walk in customers, thus why tools sound stupidly expensive.

I wish my NAPA was open on Sunday. That's not just a "some of the time" deal, either. I'd be there a lot on Sundays.
