SWEETHEART GIFTS FOR YOUR CAR LOVER
Napa Auto Parts is the area’s only locally owned parts store that supports the organizations and clubs throughout our community.

This week they have their quarterly tool sale going on, where you’ll find lots of great gift ideas for that mechanic or car lover in your life, just in time for Valentine’s. If you don’t see what you like, you can get a gift certificate for your loved one to go on their own shopping spree. This time of year, with all the storms coming, be sure to keep stocked up on ice melt, windshield fluid for the cold weather and make sure your windshield wipers are working and that you carry chains, too, when traveling out of town.
