Subsequent Event	9 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2012
Subsequent Event	Note L – Subsequent Event Subsequent to September 30, 2012, the Company reconsidered its interpretation of the authoritative literature related to accounting for potential sales returns of automotive parts sold by the NAPA distribution businesses in our automotive segment. Upon review, the Company concluded that there is an error in the current method of accounting for such potential sales returns, but that the error is not material to any of the condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein or any prior period financial statements. However, an adjustment to correct the cumulative effect of the error will be reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and will affect inventory, customer deposits, deferred tax assets and beginning retained earnings in the earliest period presented. The Company’s preliminary estimate of the understatement of inventory and customer deposits is $250 to $350 million and the net effect of these adjustments will gross up our balance sheet increasing both current assets and current liabilities with the net result being an immaterial impact on our working capital. The preliminary estimate of the impact on retained earnings, net of deferred taxes, is $20 to $40 million, or less than 2% of our consolidated equity. The Company has not recorded these adjustments to the balance sheets presented herein because the Company is still working to determine the amount of the adjustments, but has completed sufficient analysis to estimate the ranges as noted above. The Company is working to refine this preliminary estimate and will adjust the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as necessary, in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K.
