The local NAPA was not even sure if they could test my alternator when I called and asked. I took it to Advance, and they tested it right then and there. They also sold me a new alternator for the same price as the rebuilt that NAPA had to get from the ware house.
The NAPA staff are pleasant enough, but really don't seem to know much about auto parts or the products they sell.
The Advance store seems to always have a choice of 2 or 3 different grade parts for you to choose from. Rarely get that choice from NAPA.
The guy working at Advance told me how to remove the tensioner on the Mountianeer, even know the exact size bolts. So I am pleasantly surprised at the knowledge, service and selection at Advance. I'll give the NAPA in Hackettstown a try, but I'm not holding my breath.
