My current place of employment is Pure Parts Company here in Kenedy, TX. We are actually NAPA Auto Parts, but for those of you who don't know this about NAPA stores.
Any store that is actually located outside of the distribution center isn't corporate owned as they are actually individual owners. Best way to explain this is that in Texas we have distribution centers in San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas.
Any of the NAPA stores you find in that area are all going to be corporate and any in towns far enough outside that circle will be like us! Kind of cool cause we are basically able to go outside of our "NAPA channels" to get parts for people if we can't get them from NAPA directly at that time.
Aside from that little rambling rant, I live in Karnes City, TX. Which is only about 10 minutes away from my job. I love my job and I couldn't be happier right now. I make good money, my boss is AWESOME, and I get to help people out all day. I've always been "customer service" oriented at other jobs, so this was a bit different cause I never dealt with automotive parts or even the industry in general, but it's been a big learning experience that I've enjoyed and will stick with forever now cause it's just knowledge that helps you along the way to bigger and better things!

4 wheel drive noises?
Hi everyone!
Im new too this site, so if im posting this in the wrong location, i apologize.
Just recently, i was driving too work & the roads were slick in some spots.
So, i was using the 4wheel drive on diff. occasions, like while passing other people,that dont know how too drive in those conditions. After turning on another road, i noticed a loud clicking noise coming from what i think was the front drivers side wheel. If i could guess it was the hub, trying too engage or disengage? At the time i was in 2 wheel drive. My question is, why did it do this & also, was i correct in what that noise was? How do i prevent it from happening again, & is it possible there was damage done too the hub?
