I really enjoy getting parts at this store. Unlike the big, shiny, well-lit places like O'Reilly this store has the look of a place where people who know about cars go to talk about other people who know about cars. The guys are friendly, helpful and professional. It's perfect for the small town it's in. Prior to becoming part of Federated, this store was a family owned parts store called Mancini's Auto Parts, and it still feels a little like a mom and pop shop. And that's all good to me.
There is nothing a big shiny parts store can do for you that these guys can't, but the atmosphere, service and sense of integrity I get is never matched. The big places never have the same guys working in the store when I return, Federated is the same guys always. It just gives me confidence.
Prices aren't different, either. It just feels like a place your dad or grandad might have gotten parts from. It's comfortable. read more
