I went to Gingerman and then on to Detroit for the Lapeer rainfest last fall.
As I was pulling into Detroit the brakes disappeared on me.  After looking
things over in the morning one of my rear calipers had bit the dust and the
pads were no were in sight.  Limped down to AZ and expected to fork out $40 or
so when they came back and said the caliper was under warranty.

I was surprised and pleased.

  One real bonus to AZ is their computer system.  Not for finding parts,
  but for remembering what you bought, and the warranty on it.  I have
  taken in a few parts and they hunt around on the computer and come
  abck and say "This is one of ours with a lifetime warranty, here's a
  new one"  Fabulous, I get to save $$$.  Like lifetime warranty brake
  pads... can you beat that?  For a commuter car they are great.

  Our whole family puts all of our stuff under my dad's name there, and
  when the pull up the list of our warranty items they always freak
  becasue of the number of parts on it.  That's a great feature.
  Basically half my car is under a lifetime warranty there.  the other
  half is aftermarket modified stuff. :)

  We do also have a NAPA warehouse in town which has about anything you
  want on the shelf.  I am still having trouble finding some fiberglass
  mat insulation locally....  maybe I'll try over there.
