Advaned Auto parts GENIUSES!!
On my retro fit, I did tell him what I needed and what car they were off of. But he INSISTED I tell him what the car was. That's why i got pissed off and what started the whole saga. I have dealt with many great counter people who are willing to go the extra mile and take the time to help. They will let you go in the back and search through radiator hoses to find the right one for a special situation where the correct application doesn't work. Or let you go through the parts books - if they still carry them. It's just the ones that won't listen to some "old dumb ***" who doesn't know what he's talking about. I went in one time looking for some stainless capped bumper bolts and the kid had no idea what I was talking about. Worst part was, they had them. Luckily, a parts runner (aka - old guy) came out from the back and found them.
