[AT] You can't fix stupid-naming names

[charlie hill]

Greg,  Advance Auto now owns CarQuest.
Look around the Advance store and you'll see
the Carquest logo on some things.

Both stores are about 3 miles from me and about 1/4 mile 
from each other.  I know the guys at the Carquest store and
they told me Advance bought them out to have more access
to shops and other wholesale business instead of just walk in
the door retail.  Both locations are still open and unchanged.
I'll qualify that by saying I'm assuming that is a corporate deal
and not just something local but I don't see how it could be a local
only deal.

Charlie

The following is only my opinion; Advance Auto is one of last 
resort------ O'Reilleys (SP?) only bought a couple of things but not 
sure it is that great-----Carquest has been place of choice for many 
years, the owners daughter works the counter a lot, in her 40's and 
really hot; unfortunately the personality of a grizzly bear. The last 
straw, and I heard it was not their fault, they lost the car quest brand 
and what they got to replace it is junk------ the last few months I have 
switched to NAPA and have had very good luck, will see what the future 
brings.
