I've got a small carquest store by my house I go to for most trivial stuff (the bigger stuff I order here). The guys (and gal) there are awesome all the way around. Only one knows anything about diesels, but they are all wrenches on gassers. Best part is that they will special order any additive I ask for. I run RL Catylist and RL Injector cleaner in my car and they special order a case whenever I ask and only ask that I buy 1/3 of a case to make it worth it to them :-)

Just the other day I bought new wiper blades, Before I realized it the parts runner (the guy who delivers to indy shops), had taken the new blades out and installed them for me. Brought the old ones in and left them on the counter. Sales guy asked I wanted them thrown away and I was all:
me: "Those arent mine dude"
him: "you sure?"
me: "yeah I think those are the other guys" (did not know he was the runner)
him: "well, these are your's he installed them for you"
me: "holy moley! you guys rock!"

That is a shop worth going to. I can S.O. almost anything through them (except their BOSCH injectors are only Indian, and the BOSCH GPs are too expensive compared to fastlane).
