At my work we use AUTOZONE, and NAPA for the napa machine shop, their guys are top notch. Who makes autozones duralast suspension parts? I have used them at work and on family and friends vehicles without issue. What parts store do you folks use?

When I am in the US, I shop at O'Reilly auto parts.
When I am at home, I have a good contact at the local Napa.

Real AP stores like: Sanel, Robbins or NAPA. Sometimes VIP if going to a big box. Never AZ if I can help it though I have purchaed soem ACdelco ( non-Ecore) filters there.
I usually shop at NAPA and Auto Zone.
Occasionally, I shop at Pep Boys.

If I'm not in a hurry, I can get OEM parts cheaper than most chinese junk parts from Rockauto.com
But if I'm in a bind, I go to Advanced usually. In my town, we got Advanced, Napa, Autozone, and ORileys all within a 1/4 mile of eachother.
Each store has their own niche for me. I usually get my parts (anything from brakes, distributors, suspension, etc.) at Advanced. I try to stay out of AZ. ORileys usually carries the better oils and additives.
Napa can get me anything, if I'm willing to pay. They are usually quite a bit higher than the other three.
But Rockauto has the best deals I've found.

Auto-Zone, O'Reilly's, and Bumper to Bumper in town.
NAPA I have to go out of town but some things I go there for.

I buy a lot of my parts online. If I buy locally, it's from Advance Auto wih discount code, NAPA or Carquest.
For projects that can wait I like to use rockauto. If I need something immediately I use Autozone. Been using Duralast for years without any issues. Not amazing but good servicable parts
There is a NAPA near me, but they dont seem to have what I need most of the time. They do have a good stock on filters and oil though.
As a national chain, I like AdvAutoPts. For online, I love RockAuto!
I used to be hardcore NAPA but I've been going to Advance for a while.
Advance Auto with discount code.
Rockauto if I'm not in a hurry and ONLY if I can get all my items from 1 warehouse. I refuse to pay double shipping if the parts I need are in 2 different warehouses!!

Depends. We have a CarQuest locally so I shop there if I need something in-town, or if I'm buying a battery, for sure.
The city I work in (35 miles away) has a few choices, but I go to Advance Auto first, then NAPA second. Never AutoZone. They've treated me rudely more than once, and once was too many. From a counter-guy to the manager-lady. Sad customer service. They cater to the Mexican crowd.. and I don't mind that, if they treated me right, too.

O'Reilly and NAPA for chemicals, but dealer or out-of-state dealer for everything else. Oh, and Fast Undercar for brakes.
O'Reilly/NAPA for parts, Autozone, Pep Boys for related auto stuff, (cleaners,etc).
+1 for Advance Auto with coupon code. order at work pick up on way home. Cheapest and easiest.
If I am not getting OEM parts from my work or the Volvo dealer next to mine, I usually hit up IMC. For oil I will hit up Wal-Mart when I am down at the one in Oxnard cleaning them out of ammo. We hav an account with O'Reillys for used cars that I will use if I need something cheap where quality is not required.
Rockauto, Amazon, and Autozone.
