• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

if you work in cars.. you should know your cars..

Went to a car shop few days ago, and the guy behind the counter said to me, what is that a tayota? I said no.. Then he said a ford? I said no, a pontiac.. Then he said, ohhhhhhhh its a grand am, gotacha.. I said nope, a grand prix, he said a gt? no, a 98 grand prix gtp.. id think if you work for a car shop youd know some knowledge about cars!

Hansel and Gretel is a well-known fairy tale of German origin, recorded by the Brothers Grimm and published in 1812. Hansel and Gretel are a young brother and sister threatened by a cannibalistic witch living deep in the forest in a house constructed of cake and confectionery. The two children save their lives by outwitting her.
 
You really will be surprised..especially autozone aha.. dumb shxts didmt know what MAF cleaner was... orr where the obd connector in my car was...and thanks blue. It really is true when they say, you learn something mew everyday
 
Lolz autozone employees are the worse at least from what I've experienced.

I save myself the hassle and just order my own parts online and pick them up in store. It's hard to screw up that way.
 
A guy at auto zone tried selling me a pair of 8k's with ballast, he said I'll give you a great deal, 160$.... LOlz

It's place specific.

I worked nights at Autozone for a couple years. I used to do plug changes on simple cars for cash out in the parking lot.

**** the WITT system...that place was dumb. Training included: YOU ONLY NEED TO KNOW HOW TO WORK A COMPUTER TO WORK HERE.

Granted, a majority of them are dumb.
 
I agree auto is the worse, that's why I came to grandprixforums I couldn't stand people at autozone not knowing anything!
 
Yup a majority of them are complete retards and know less about cars than the people that go in there to get blinker fluid.
 
I'm lucky in that the guys that work at Advance near my house are REALLY good. Every time I buy a part, one guy in particular is really good about telling me all the gotchas in the job. LOVE that place.

They need to make all the advance auto parts like your store then!
 


I totally agree with blueguy. You'd be an idiot to lump them all into one group. There are plenty of Autozones and Advance or whatever parts store you're thinking of where the people behind the counter know exactly what their doing and talking about.

I went in and asked for metric headlight fluid. They all just looked at me funny. I had a muffler bearing go bad once too but that's a whole different story.

Typical stereotype.

Just because you've got a bad store, doesn't mean they all are.

Well no, I have been to some stores where they know what they are talking about.. But since iv moved here, I havent found stores where people know anything.. all the stores around me suck.. now when i lived in florida, they seemed to know alot about everything..
 


I like the AutoZone in Davison, MI. At certain time, there's actual intelligent employee working there and no scrub to waste time. I asked for PCV valve the other day, they knew where it was and only asked for my car so I could get the right one. They even suggested nearby Radio Shack when I was looking for cig lighter in all plastic body so I could tuck them inside the dash after I plugged in dash cam, all they carried were metal body meant to be mounted. Radio Shack had a sale $6 for 5' extension. I cut it off (and later cut off the inline fuse as it was redundant).
 
We have 2 autozones. One is well stocked. The employees know nothing at either one. Inhave an orriellys. I know a guy from school who works there. I like it there. They're knowledgable. And advamded autoparts is thesame way.

And i do understand it being place specific blue
