ATTN: Auto parts store employees...
-
I'll be the first one to admit, most of our employees suck. Most are either lazy, don't know shit, or a pricks to customers. We are short handed and all the new people we've hired lately are fucking worthless. It's pretty bad when you have to tell managers how to spell shit and can do parts of closing because they dont know how to...when I havent been there as long and am not even a manager. Also, our hiring system blows...I know people that had an interview in May and we havent gotten their background checks back still. Anyways, we are NOT a repair facility and we do NOT diagnose what's wrong with your cars, we are a PARTS store and only a parts store.
So, if anyone's interested in a job and arent a total idiot and worthless we need some decent help. And to customers know what the hell vehicle you have or if you've swapped stuff know what cars it came out of originally, i'm so sick of people being like oh what does it matter what year and what engine it has in it, or oh it's a 350 there all the same...NO they are not...

if they really wanted to hire people that badly. maybe the manager shouldnt be so damn lazy, always at the docotor, or to busy to talk to the people that put in the application. I gave up trying to get a job there, cause it was not worth the time to mess with it anymore.

^ Ya instead of hiring new people they try to make some of us part timers work everyday...but ya not happening anymore with school having started...I could careless if the managers have to work open to closes, it's there fault for not hiring new people, shit they were a couple ppl short handed since before I started there.

Ya, considering the managers dont get that...there are some benefits to working there thoughThat's exactly why they don't and never will get knowledgeable or caring employees for the long term. They don't pay them what they're worth. PERIOD!! Why do you think I got out of the parts buisiness?

hahaha how do those fuckers get jobs anyways? i could do that simple shit in the 3rd grade....but it is nice having a laptop with a program so you can read your own codes... but I guess in Jamestown it's more a country community so most of the people that work at parts stores know what they're talking about and they're actually helpful....I pretty much live at our napa store

Why do you think I got out of the parts buisiness?That's a huge part of why I left Napa. O'Reilly still doesnt pay me what I'm worth but at least I have health insurance now at Napa it was like $250 a month.
I consider myself to be a damn good parts salesman. Just for an example while I was working in Deer River filling in a Jeep came in from Indiana on their way home towing a boat. The owners complained about it not shifting properly and running poorly. So I went out with them showed them how to use the scanner and it came back with like 8 codes. Misfires in cylinder 1-6, cylinder 8, and throttle pedal sensor. I sold them a TPS and they drove off happy as can be called the store the next day to let us know that they made it home just fine. It doesnt take much effort to be a good parts guy just a little common sense and some knowledge of vehicle systems. If you know how the system works its pretty easy to diagnose most problems, for the more difficult ones I always recommend a good shop. You gotta scratch my back if i'm scratching yours tho, if someone comes in and told you I sent them to you call me for the parts dammit. Just my 2 cents.

No I sold a trottle position sensor, but the scanner called it a throttle pedal sensor. I thought it was wierd too.
