Re: rant advance auto parts

Never had any problems buying or returning parts with either one. To me, you should know a little about what you're looking for before you even go in to these stores. Even if you don't know, don't blame the counter guy for making the parts, or what the computer tells him what part you need. And if you do have a problem with any counter person/manager that won't solve your problem, take it to the next level. Go to the "Head Man", "The Big Cheese", "The Leader", etc.

I agree, some parts are junk, but you can thank the makers for shipping their work out of the U.S. At least there are still warranties.

Granted, there are a few counter people out there that don't care, and those will be weeded out soon enough. But, like all of us have done, starting out not knowing much about cars/trucks, but are willing to learn.

Like BIG ORANGE & HoupPhotography said, try working on the other side of the counter once, & watch "YOU CANT FIX STUPID" people come in.
