CarQuest

Looking for parts online, and there is a CarQuest in town that I have used in the past. go to the website and when I click on shop online or to brose. next window pops up as advanced auto.
Did they buy CarQuest?

Yes, almost a year ago.

Any Carquest that was corporate owned had been merged into Advance. Any store that was independently owned is remaining Carquest. The store I deal with (next town over) is staying Carquest, the store in the town where I live closed and personel moved out to the Advance store.

As mentioned, awhile back. Some of their filters are now made by a different supplier.

Kind of sad to see that Car Quest is going to be in the same league as Advance and Auto Zone.

yes that puts me in a real bind, the carquest here is independent owned and ive stayed with them 2 of the countermen in there are car guys and they do heavy trucks and farm equipment too as well as "step out" independent if thats the way they have to go to get something odd, they also have a napa up in town but the owner has used the store to employ his family, most of whome would have a tough time holding a job at walmart, they know nothing about cars let alone the big stuff, they can punch a computer, but thats all, one thing for sure is you will always get the wrong part handed to you the first 2nd or 3rd time, its a last resort to go there
