I don't think I'd go that far...
In fact, when I first noticed that someone from Sears was surfing the site I figured Zangara had a relative who worked in Chicago. Shows you how great of a detective I am....

It will be interesting to see if Sears can get their act together. From an investing standpoint many hearts have been broken on theory that Sears was undervalued. At one point it was suggested that Sears was a value-play based on the real estate they owned - then the bubble burst.
Concerning their Auto Care franchise, it will be interesting to see how they do. Their DieHard batteries have a good reputation and a former dealership service department could probably make some decent money performing the light mechanical work that people typically associate with a Sears Auto Care center. Time will tell.
