Genuine Parts - aka NAPA - also competes with Advance Auto, Auto Zone, O'Reilly's Auto Parts, CarQuest for the bricks and mortar stores.
Then there's the online sellers - including Amazon no less.
For your basic consumables (oil, filters, wiper blades, etc ...) Walmart, Target, Big Lots!, grocery stores sell that stuff.
They're a little overvalued but they have a good (2.8%) dividend - not enough to be worth buying at its current price.

Automotive parts will be good for some time since people in general are still feeling the effects of the recession, they are going to be keeping old cars longer, and doing what they can to keep those cars going.

Downside risk is pretty minimal, given the high, secure dividend and stable market. A 'boring' stock that Lynch would love.
