Hey Guys
I am currently on holidays in California (hard life I know) I have only a limited time to go shopping (looking) at some peformance type shops. Looking for Jegs or Summit racing type stores. Has anyone got any ideas on the best shops to go too in LA or San Fran areas. I have looked on the net and found a few places such as pep boys and autozone. Has anyone had experience with these places, are they worth looking at? Or are they like super cheep store? Thanks |

Just got back from the States yesterday after driving across basically Route 66 plus a bit extra (11 states, 4 time zones & 5602 miles in a 2013 Mustang), hated LA! We went to Petersens though, was ok, better places around (eg Imperial Casino Las Vegas). We drove to Summit in Sparks, Reno Nv, an 8 hour drive each way but well worth it!!!! That store is actually their smallest one! About the size of a supermarket here.
The O'Reilleys Auto parts stores are good for general bits and pieces. Good luck with the 4-way stop signs! |
