An auto parts store is a shop that sells car parts, tools and repair manuals. Survivors go there for tires, mufflers, car batteries and the full series of Mechanics skill books. It is the best single stop for keeping a vehicle on the road.
These stores come in a regular style and a sport style. The regular car supply store has metal shelves of parts, counters of hand tools and shelves of manuals. The sport car supply shop leans toward driving gloves, tools and advanced manuals. The standout finds are the Muffler - Regular and the Tire - Regular, which fill the shelves very often. Performance tires and mufflers appear often too. The higher Mechanics skill books and the Laines auto manual magazines round out the stock.
