I’m not sure exactly how to phrase the question, but let’s consider the likes of Autozone, Advance, O’Reilly, and maybe NAPA. Probably the most common I see around me. Is there one that is known to be the most corner-cutting, least reliable house brand parts, or something?
I’m curious because I usually have no brand loyalty and will just run into the nearest whichever store to rent a tool or get a part, etc. and am wondering how lucky I’ve gotten that nothing has been an outright lemon.
Advance does the same thing as far as hours. Our local has one guy in the store most days until 11-12 every day.
