It seems like some of these guys who work at auto parts stores have never even worked on a car or have a clue what they are talking about. There are some good guys who know what they are talking about and can actually be helpful, but it is frustrating when you get a guy that doesn't have a clue what he is looking for/talking about.

I called a local advanced auto the other day here trying to get some parts for a 4Runner. "The guy said what was the vehicle? a Ford Runner?" I knew it was going to be a long phone conversation after that...

whats a 'for sale' price on a spark plug? instead of 1.89 its 1.87 a piece? any fleet farm is going to blow anyones price out of the water on plugs.

Know what is almost as annoying as a parts guy who doesn't know what he's talking about? A customer that thinks all parts guys don't know what they're talking about, haha. Customers man, customers.

Still, I know how you feel.
