By \"heard\" I mean he left a brake pads box stuffed full of parts receipts from BAP with the truck.\n\nThen recently, we needed a part of our newly acquired 69 VW beetle. NAPA didn't have it, and the guy recommended we check out BAP. \n\nThe store itself is pretty basic. It is just a big room with aisles of stuff -- no fancy displays, no neon (I'm looking at you, AutoZone) -- and I'm totally OK with that. \n\nI approached the parts counter and told the guy what I needed. He was kind of surly and dismissive (thus, BAP gets docked a star), and told me I had the wrong part number. However, he knew this without even looking on the computer, which to me, means he knows way more than the monkeys who work at most parts places.\n\nThey had all we needed in stock, and at a fair price. I was shocked that they didn't have to order any of it, or get it from another store. We have since gone back, with the same result. \n\nIf you have an older foreign vehicle, skip the stealership. Buy the parts you need at BAP, and take them to a trustworthy independent mechanic."^^ . .
