MOST parts guys suck. it is pretty rare to get a good one. im a flat rate mechanic, and parts guys are the leading cause of a short paycheck. the main problem is shops dont want to pay the guys that know what they are doing, like jay, so you get the autozone monkeys that build thier fast and the hilarious cars and think they know everything  i hate the car business! |

bro in law is a master mechanic (been bouncing between shops up north... he just went to porsche school earlier this year)... he cracked the parts guy square in the forehead with a itty bitty ball peen hammer for giving him the wrong parts the 3rd time in a row. fast and the furious? more like slow and the confused.  |

I always go to the one near me (non-chain)... guy there who knows his stuff... I walked in with a split radiator hose out of a 71 winnebago once, I'm at the door, he's at the counter...he says: dodge big block, commercial app, early 70's... rattled off a number, headed out back, by the time I'm at the counter, he's back, with the exact hose... if I have to go to a napa, or a chain, I always look for a guy with grey hair... seems to work better that way... fer me  |
