It was some acessories catalog, I wasn't at an actual NAPA store, I was at a NAPA Autocare Center. The store is on the other side of town. It had a listing like 84-89 2- and 4-wheel drive Pickups and 4runners. I don't believe it was a NAPA catalog, it was probably some accesories company catalog. It was just a strange listing that caught my interest, thats all.
OK, that listing makes sense...they are grouping it as [2&4WD pickups] and[4runners]
Do you work at NAPA Duffil?
yes I do.
Do you get good discounts?
I pay 10% over cost...it's good, but not as cheap as one would think. It does help out a bunch when I do side jobs...I pay C+10...charge the customer a good price, and make money on parts and labor.
I think I might want to work there some day, I love NAPA almost as much as Toyotas.
Go for it. I will tell you that number recognition/retention is very important. I would rather take a guy who knows nothing about cars but can retain information over a guy who can tell you anything about any car ever made. I can teach a guy all that.
It also helps to be able to work on things if you want to be a good parts guy. Since you're on the forum I'll assume that you can. I work with 2 lazy bastards...one of them always has me do his brakes, the other guy did an engine swap in a 90s Mustang and fried the wiring and computer while doing it.
