Comments
the box parts stores kill me... it's something like:
I'd like a bulb for my rear turn signal, please...
what year? Make? Model?
12, Ford, F450
is it two wheel drive or four?
huh?
I need to know what motor is in it?
uh... but..
Is it a crew cab or a single cab- quad?
does it matter?
If you want a turn signal bulb it does...
fine it's ..........
how many miles?
what?
are there any aftermarket items installed?
not so far as a turn signal is concerned...
Do you want the bulb or not?
yes... okay... it's.....
Sorry, we're out of stock, but if you pay now we can have it here for pick up in two weeks
Well, isn't this place a geographical oddity? Two weeks from everywhere!!!!
it used to be you'd ask for a part, the clerk would look over your shoulder out the window of the establishment, and say "be right back, sir"..... and that was that...
what i've learned about buying parts for my boat at auto parts box stores: arm myself with knowledge of p/n prior to arrival, and know what year/make/model of car it was used in... and know the color of that car... and whether it had leather or cloth interior..
