I don't go to autopart store anymore .In the old time when I need a bearing ,a seal , an o ring or spark plugs ... all I need is the size of it inside dia,outside dia thickness or part #,now they only stock by car model, year ,size engine .Lots of time i need spark plug for my lawnmower or generator ,I'm sure they have that spark plug for some car but they can't point out
At rock auto I can get them and sometime much cheaper

I have seen several posts here about ordering only from RockAuto. While I agree it can be cheaper and convenient for those not needing the parts ASAP.  I personally shop parts from the local shops as long as they don't overly raise the price.   

If the parts at the local Auto+Parts, O'Reilly's, etc. are reasonable and quality, I will buy locally to support my local merchants and for the convenience of exchanging the parts in case the parts don't fit. 

I once purchased plug wires from RockAuto and it was a real pain to return them.  The metal housing were 4 one-thousands too large to fit into the spark plug well. Had I not had a caliber to check the measurement, they would have accepted the return but shipping them back would have been on me. I had to add a comment stating why the parts were being because of fitment. Even then, it took them several days after receiving the item for them to credit the return. 
 
Since then, I'm careful of the cheaper price and will check around locally, online, etc. before ordering.
