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

That'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?

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.

BTW I know this is an old thread

[bader3245]

So you sold them a "throttle pedal sensor" ??? hmmmmm......

[capitlj]

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

[KA-T_240]

LOL! like every parts store calling BS on my crank position sensor.

You live in jamestown? Do you know Jeremy (Skinny, bald guy with glasses, drives a primered chevy truck) that works at napa?

the fargo napa by sheels couldnt even get me the right frigging soft plugs for a 2.5 dodge, and they sold me the wrong fuel pump for it, and the wrong ditributor....... list goes on im not giving them the third chance lol i didnt think it was that hard. i used to work at napa, immagine if they had to use books! :bom: i did every day. i didnt think it was that hard to find parts for a 2.5 common block turbo dodge. (it isnt cause most of the parts are the same between a 2.5 and a 2.5 turbo) as for the pay lol what pay? i got like 8 dollars an hour to work there, i could barely afford to buy parts from there. :icon_puke_r:

[bubba]

Technically...means you were fired. They didn't want to deal with bullshit.

YOU FIRED!!!! Stop making it sound like you quit. They told you to leave. Not that you left on your own.
