(1)  Adjusted to reflect the impact of the Refinancing, including the
     application of the net proceeds of the notes offering, borrowings under our
     new $300.0 million senior credit facility and the net proceeds from the
     issuance by CSK Auto Corporation of $50.0 million of convertible
     subordinated debentures and the $30.0 million convertible note (assuming
     the conversion of all such convertible debt).

(2)  The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the fiscal year 1996 and the
     thirty-nine week period ended November 4, 2001 and the pro forma ratio of
     earnings to fixed charges for the fiscal year 2000 and the thirty-nine week
     period ended November 4, 2001 have not been computed since earnings were
     not sufficient to cover fixed charges. The coverage deficiencies were
     $36,518, $25,836, $3,082, $33,995, respectively.
