It seems random for them to try to stock so many parts for so many cars. I guess they are like the Walmart supercenters of tuning/part shops

I think you will find that any of the super autobacs stores are very similar in size and product line up, I think they follow a general guidline for having a store with the name "super autobacs".(ordinary autobacs is much smaller of corse) There is a store way out in the sticks that I know of and it is huge too, you have to wonder how they do it... But it has been there for about 8 years now and it seems to always have people there.

yeah, but most aren't super autobacs. well, i guess even the regular autobacs will pwn autozone.

autozone daiba really needs to be open till midnight like autowave (too bad they went bankrupt!)
