Around here NAPA is a cut-above Advance and the like. Maybe two 'cuts'....and we have a local NAPA store that is quite good. Same counter people and same owners for many years.

Having said that I don't usually use them (napa)for foreign cars. I like to use FCP and Tasca for Volvo, and Volvo original parts whenever I can.

The last full rear brake job I did.....I got a great price for original volvo parts from Tasca....maybe a few percent more than aftermarket OEM from FCP. Volvo original parts are a no-brainer.

Also, did a timing belt change with water pump and everything else up there...and Tasca was same than FCP. The parts from Volvo had some noticeable engineering improvements....and fit perfect. It will be interesting to see what effect Geely has on all this.
