I think a couple things came into play. NAPA has different prices for different levels of buyers. The guy that buys one part a year pays way more than the guy that runs a repair shop. NAPA probably quoted you list price. Go in the store with grease on your clothes and you'll get a discount. Sometimes a big discount.
