There is a Vee parts store in El Cajon on Magnolia Blvd. right near the
Santee border.  (I live in Santee)  I've used them in a pinch for oil
filters and other parts and they are knowledgeable, however, they are more
expensive than mail ordering from Volks Cafe or Bus Depot but are great for
what I need now.
