There are plenty of auto parts stores where a kid who's barely old enough to drive will read you…read moreendless questions from the computer screen in front of them to try and get you the right parts for your car, truck, or RV. In contrast, there are those rare auto parts stores with experienced staff behind the counter. Heck, just about anybody can sell you motor oil or wiper blades for your Prius, but how about taking the time to actually pull out a PAPER catalog to cross-reference a tiny indicator light bulb for a 28-Volt 1982 Cessna Turbo Skylane? These guys did that for me once, more than a decade ago. (Howard probably did about 20 minutes of work just to make a seventy-nine cent sale, all because I was in a jam.) Everyone at Steve's has always treated me more than fairly, and I will never forget that. My experiences with the Bishop NAPA started with a tiny light bulb, but they go much further than that: Want to rebuild a 1980's Chevy 1-ton truck after a previous owner did an unusual engine and transmission swap? Want to re-wire an aging fire truck? Need to get a really good quality auto repair specialty tool? Need to get an obscure part from the Cole-Hersee catalog that nobody stocks and you can't find on eBay, Amazon, or Craigslist? Steve's has helped me with all of these things when nobody else could or would. Better parts, better selection, fair prices, and great people behind the counter. That's why I believe that in Bishop, the NAPA store, i.e. Steve's Auto Parts, located at the south end of town on Hwy. 395, is one of those rare gems that has to be experienced first-hand to be appreciated. The people behind the counter: Howard, Big Dave, Joe, and the rest of the crew, all have that essential quality in parts counter personnel: They give a damn! There's no substitute for this, and there's no way to fake it. Sure, NAPA charges a little more, but the parts are better and the service is great, and if they don't have your part in stock, it's almost a sure thing that they can have it delivered to them on tomorrow morning's truck. (This is an important thing to remember if you break down in Bishop - just try getting THAT to happen at their competitors.) Walk through the front door, wait your turn politely if they're busy, and approach with a smile on your face when you're waved up to the counter. And for Chrissakes, don't act like an entitled a$$hole like so many of the tourists do, i.e. the ones who act offended when they find out that they can't return snow chains. (Howard and his crew probably deal with too many of these idiots every day. Who knows? You might get EVEN BETTER SERVICE if you don't act like one of those people.) So if you're looking for the best auto parts shop in Bishop, the NAPA store is the place.

I found one online but realized, I didn't have the tools or skills to open the receiver, to replace the battery without distroying the case.

Even though I bought the battery online, the technician carefully opened the reciever and replaced the battery for me. He wouldn't accept payment but I purchased a pack of AAA batteries to ease my conscience for taking his time and expertise. Thanks, Batteries Plus for such great customer service.
