Greg, I have bought from NAPA for years. That is very disappointing to hear.

About GM using vendors for their parts: Ford & Chrysler does too. The manufacturers pretty much just design & assemble their cars. An engineer for GM told me there are parts on all three brands actually made by the same vendors. I didn't ask him which parts. This was probably fifteen years ago. At least they were probably made in the U.S. then. GM's Declo points, condensers, etc , used to say "Made in Mexico" on the boxes, back when they still used points & condensers.
They all use outside vendors.
