When I have my mechanic repair my vehicles he gets the parts from local parts stores. When I do my own repairs, I get the parts from Rock Auto. The internet has changed everything, I am in business also and the last 15 years or so, I get more customers than not who want to buy their shit online and just have me install it. Should I yell at them and call them stupid idiots for not buying stuff from a local schlep like me? When it all first started I tried to battle it and it's hopeless, most people are going to purchase where their dollar goes the furthest. When people call me now and want me to install products they bought on the internet, I don't fight it any more, I just mark my labor up and I don't give them any warranty. I only provide warranty if they buy product from me. You can't control what a customer wants and I get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not my fault you made poor choices in life and wasted your time in college to paint houses. Must not be that good if you are barely making it like you are. Because I know painters who have all kinds of new toys, nice trucks, houses , cars for their wives. Vacation places in Florida and up N. Of course you do Jay..more bullshit but that's OK and I'm doing just fine and I'll continue to support my local community while you fuck yours and run reputable shops down on the internet...what a swell guy you are Edited March 26, 2020 by Jimmy Snacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy from King Auto when he has what I want. When he tells me he can't get OEM parts for me for less than what the stealership charges, and tells me to get them from Rock Auto, that's what I'll continue to do. He's still getting my business on turning and other things I can get from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again why would I waste my money when my paid for Chevy does everything I need it to? I also bought a used Lincoln MKX because again I don't need a 50,000 vehicle to drive to the grocery store. You called Jay a cheap cunt, so I guess that means you're smart for spending your dollars wisely? 5 minutes ago, Jimmy Snacks said: You can't control what a customer wants and I get that. Really?
