Get your auto parts from...where?

How about Home Depot?

Home Depot to sell auto parts

Now we can complain about the orange Fram filters at the orange home improvement store in one breath.

Come to think of it, I have seen a few cars in the past with home improvement store parts on them already.

500 sq. ft. isn't a lot of space. That's about enough room for a decent selection of fluids, filters and apperance stuff (wash supplies, waxes, etc) and that's about it. Still, hardware and department stores like Kmart, Walmart, and Sears have carried these things for years. I wonder why they didn't carry automotive stuff all along.

Now they can hire people who know nothing about cars.

Well that ought to work out perfect than cause they wont have to hire anybody new, they can just get some of their reps. who dont know anything about home improvement to run that department.

As they mentioned it's just oil and fuel additives. Walmart has them beat. Shoot, I can get that junk at "big lots".

My HD had all SOPUS products... pennzoil, rotella, and some brand of FI cleaner. IDK if they still do or not. And the pricing was lame.

Well a little more competition can't hurt.

I think I just hurt myself laughing.

I noticed my Home Depot has some auto fluids - Pennzoil and such.

Hah, the only auto related fluids the Home Despot in town carries is SAE 30 Troy-bilt oil for lawnmowers. I 'spose you could use it in a car if you really, really needed to...

Great, now the two people working in the store will have even more to do.

I saw Home Depot brand coolant a couple of years ago.
