Default Auto Parts Store

Is there much of a difference in quality and availability of parts from Auto Zone and Advance Auto Parts Stores? Not trying to promote or bash either one. Just looking for some objective information. :cheers: :seeya Terry

I think this varies from location to location. My Advanced Auto Parts knows more, stocks more, and flat out has more resources. My chances for finding anything, are three times better if I drive a little further, to Advanced. For the basic stuff, Autozone is closer and will do.
