Car parts store in Honolulu? (Hilo: credit card, buy, bankruptcy)

[jonomo]

Hey.. I've travelling to Hawaii next week from Asia and I wanted to pick up some hard to get car parts while I"m there... Nothing special.. just maintenance stuff.. Are there any good car parts stores in Honolulu?? I looked up Autozone and a couple of other chains I'm familiar with on the mainland and found that they don't have stores in Hawaii... Can anyone recommend something? Thanks, Jo

Napa auto parts is all over the island. I think Carquest, too. If you'll be in Honolulu, just do a search on Napa Honolulu and you'll find them. If you call ahead, I know Napa has people who can do a search for you and order them ahead of time. (if you pay with a credit card first, probably.)
good luck!

For CarQuest, I think if you order the parts online and then pick them up at the store you get better prices. Not that I buy that many car parts, but my DH can't go to Hilo without stopping at least one car parts place.

Cool.. thanks for the info.. very helpful..

Is there anywhere where I can get tuning parts? I heard the tuning scene was pretty big in Hawaii..

Tuning? What is this, a violin? What sort of parts are tuning parts?

My DH just noticed this morning that Checkers/Carquest is going into bankruptcy. Ouch!
