...i noticed you are in the dfw area..what part..im moving up there here in a few months

[MEM-TEK]

ya money is a big issue..and the reason i want to apply there is because
1. im smarter than MOST of their employees
2. need money
3. love anything to do with cars or engines.

You could end up rapidly building up a loyal customer base who will only talk to you and purchase from you. Do they offer commissions?

[TSi+WRX]

They just dont want you to try to sell a fuel filter to a guy with a dead battery etc.

That's how I find the staff at most of these places, too.

Some are fellow "car guys/car gals," and some do have very specialized knowledge - but most are just helpful people, and rely on their computer database.

I don't think that's all that bad - at least, like you said, they don't sell you the wrong stuff!

I would be hesitant to work somewhere that I am the smartest guy. You wouldn't learn a thing and would most likely get frustrated fast.

Just the customer interaction and being around parts all day would be fun I think. If he is a big motorhead like he says he is, then it should get him by.

I don't see why not. You get a discount, you like anything automotive so it won't really be "working", and you get exposure to side jobs if you can work on cars. Most of the time I walk in there the workers are just shooting the breeze.

[jdubya301]

hows the parts discount?

I went into Autozone and picked up some brake pads. I watched as the guy looked them up and asked me Durabrand x or Y? I noted the part number on the screen for the one I picked and he returned with the wrong one at the register. I corrected him and he was but coudnt say anything cause he was wrong. Quickly went back and brought me the correct part number. I was thinking of this thread, Autozone could use your help, Quickly pls sir.
