Two sides but...local parts stores are dying for a reason

A lot of places have gone to more of a "the starter (using starter as an example) you buy has a lifetime warranty" as in they replace it once. It isn't so much a lifetime supply of starters.

Yeah i was surprised they kept giving them to me.

To be fair i think the first couple got killed from heat (460 with headers)

NAPA took away my lifetime warranty fuel pump. If I didn't have a receipt that said "lifetime warranty" on it I would have been out of luck. Last time I swapped one out, I got a receipt that says 12 month warranty. Sneaky sneaky........ "lifetime" means they can take it away when ever they want.

These days, "lifetime warranty" means that when the part dies, its lifetime AND its warranty both expire.
