So, I order my timing chain this am. Guy says we will have it here by 5:00 today. Go up to the parts store at 5:30, "other" guy says, oh yeah, it must not have made the cut off time. Are you freaking kidding me? I'm going up there tomorrow and ripping someone a new a$$. IDIOTS!

: furious:

Smilies just can't express how pissed off I am!

 

that happened to me so many times at auto part stores even for lil things like a banjo bolt

 

Most parts store monkey's know nothing anymore.

 

Go back to the store and tell them why you will not be buying from them anymore. You have to do this sometimes, or they will never get it. Then, buy it online, use an online coupon if possible, buy enough stuff for free shipping. I get free "ground freight" shipping delivered to my door or my office in 2 days.

 

I'm surprised when I told him I needed a timing chain that he didn't ask me if it was for my pocket watch...

 

i did that and got alot of free bonuses

 

Can't tell you how many times I've been disappointed in parts ordering. But it is the way of the world. It happens. Have a cocktail and tackle it tomorrow.

 

i went in one day to pick up another brake caliper since they sold me one that the bleeder valve was seized in there and couldnt be removed,so i told them what happened and the guy there asked me y i wanted to loosin the bleeder valve.....i was speechless

 

That's what happens when you pay someone $7 ph. 90% of the people in there don't know how to change there own oil that's why they took a job making $7 ph. Same with 50% of people at a tire lube shop. So get your jeep fixed by tards or buy parts from them? I would rather buy the parts that way if there wrong I can tell as someone else might not. Ya lost a trans to Louis Tire Shop in Burlington WI. It was my DD they took off the external trans filter thinking it was the oil filter and never put more trans fluid in. They denied everything. So i use it as an RTI ramp I got picks of it.

 

most of the auto parts counter guys were delivering pizza as there job last week

 

auto part stores are for the future failures of america and the occasional college student goin to college

 

lol ive been on both sides of this arguement, i work at a parts store. ive been the customer before thinking, "this parts guy is an idiot". ive also been the parts guy going, "this customers an idiot". i have also been the parts guy going, "my other employees are idiots" lol.

to the original poster, i am curios what parts store you went to. i have 2 customers i have to tell stories about. one guy came in from another parts store and said they told him, "manufacture companies quit making V-belts for a land cruiser". another guy came in with a dvd player charging cord looking for a "special" fuse, and said he went to all the other parts stores in town and we were his last chance. i pulled the fuse out and told him no problem, AS I UNROLLED THE GUM WRAPPER FROM THE FUSE, and nobody else knew what it was lol.

 

I'm still looking for the tech......??

 

that just proves that not everyone his dumb at auto parts store,but i would say most of them r

 

"AS I UNROLLED THE GUM WRAPPER FROM THE FUSE" you can fix a blown glass fuse with a gum wrapper. TECH lol


yah i didnt notice this was in a tech section, should be moved to the "i wanna complain about parts counter guys"
