Napa Auto Parts – P M Auto Parts

I’m surprised that no one has reviewed this very fine auto parts store. I say that because… drumrolll… it is the ONLY I repeat ONLY auto parts store easily accessible from Lower Manhattan or Greenwich Village by public transportation. I kid you not. There used to be a Strauss auto parts store on East 14^th Street, but it closed a few years ago.
And no, hardware stores do not sell auto parts, even really basic stuff. Maybe they have some kind of antitrust agreement with the auto parts industry. The Justice Department needs to drop everything else and investigate.
So this is it, baby. But really, it is not so bad. It is well stocked. Its prices are reasonable. And I found that the proprietor was perfectly courteous and helpful.
The problem is that to get here from Manhattan by public transit (in case your friggin car is disabled) you have to take the L and then transfer to the G and then walk a few blocks. However, if you gotta do you gotta do. There are other auto parts store in the vicinity but they are not close to any transit line.
Like i said, this is it, baby…
