Do any national auto parts stores do home delivery?
I am needing a new cap & rotor for my truck that is now sitting in my driveway after being towed home last night. I'm about ten miles from town with no way to get there & back. I hate to impose on friends or neighbors so I was wondering if anyone knew if a parts house does home delivery.

My other alternative is an online place that does overnight delivery. I don't mind paying extra. Any ideas?

1. J C Whitney?
I get parts from them, but never tried overnight delivery.

Ten miles? What's the temperature? A bicycle would work for cap&rotor, not so well for a cylinder head.

3. Call Pep Boys, if there's one in your town--I know they deliver to auto repair shops.
So they might deliver to residential areas, too.

4. NAPA delivers to shops
I think it would be best for you to just thumb through your yellow pages. There is bound to be someone that will deliver..for a fee :)

5. Carquest might
At least where my wife works they do but they won't send a woman driver, they won't go into your back yard or garage and you have to use a credit card and pay ahead. They won't send a driver alone with a part to collect a check.

6. I had to order overnight from an online store.
None of the parts places around here deliver to homes, only to shops. Thanks for the help!
