NAPA Auto Parts

Their belts are cheap and recommended but the service at this napa is really poor. I went in to get a new a/​c, power steering and alternator belt and the guy who helped me seemed to be new and didnt know anything. He told me I only needed two belts but i had done my research and knew it needed three. He got me so confused that I left came home and pulled up the engine diagram for my car showing the belts and it needed three. I called them back and put the parts on hold and some of the parts that the earlier guy told me they didnt have in stock were magically there now. The next day i went in to pick up the parts and it took 25 min coz their computer systems were down. Still probably the best place to get parts compared to autozone etc but the service at this napa is really poor.

Car ownership is such a pain, especially if you’re a noted cheapskate like myself. My current old Jeep (Just Empty Every Pocket) is now shedding functional parts at an alarming rate. Thankfully for my old Heep and unfortunately for my pocketbook there’s the experts at NAPA who can find the parts so I can get my old 4×4 problem child back on the paved trails of Salt Lake.
The real benefit of this NAPA location is that its the part warehouse for the SLC area. If you need something and NAPA doesn’t have it in stock its most likely coming from their warehouse connected to this retail location. So when they say, «oh it looks like this parts only in the warehouse»… that warehouse is probably 100 ft from the register they’re looking the part up on. It makes for a quick pickup of some harder to find parts.
The pricing is usually roughly the same as Autozone & O’Reilly’s. Sometimes you’ll find its a few bucks higher at NAPA. One thing to keep in mind, if you’re a AAA member you can get 10% off on anything you buy at NAPA. That includes parts for your busted ride. They also carry all your assortments of random auto trinkets, oil, lubes and other replaceables for your auto.
Overall this location is a little out of my way but I always make sure I call or swing by when I’m looking for a part. They know what they’re talking about and usually can get a hold of what I need in a short amount of time. Make sure you take advantage of their «NAPA Know How» just like the commercial says…
