So, my daughter needs a new rear brake line for her 87 XJ6, I took a shot and looked it up on NAPAs website. If you Google the name "Napa Auto Parts" it will come up.
ANYWAY, to my surprise, they had it for $19.88, so I entered in my info for my 99 XK8, and lo and behold they have a LOT of things for our car. Brakes, calipers, $7.50 spark plugs (not the $30.00 I've heard mention on the forums) Tranny fluid at $30.00 for 5 liters on and on.


Just thought everyone should know if they didn't already (like me)

 

Yes, and Advance and O'Reillys also carry some parts for XK8s. Of course, Rock Auto has lots of them. Some may not be to OEM specs, but most, in my experience, are pretty good quality.

 

I don't purchase as many auto parts and supplies from NAPA as I did 20 years ago because online research usually leads me to better pricing elsewhere. But NAPA still leads the pack in windshield wiper blade refill replacement availability and pricing because many other suppliers no longer offer refills that fit our particular vehicles. I purchased a set of refills for my S-Type from my local NAPA store just a couple of weeks ago for less than ten bucks. Be aware that they always offer discounts to AAA members....

 

NAPA does carry parts or can overnight many things for Jaguar, MG, Triumph and many other cars, prices not too bad.
What I get upset about is the site spends more time trying to get you to a location than what part you want. Kind of like trying to find a flat rate on a package shipment.

Wayne is spot on regarding NAPA's lousy website. I never use it. I phone my local store and talk to a counter guy. It's quicker, more reliable, and if they don't stock the part I need (and often times they do not), I place my order with the guy and my part is usually there by the next morning....
