Everytime I am in there, if he doesn't see the part pop up right away , his response "its a dealer item, who's next".

There is a small Mom and Pop's place nearme and I go there for the non-typical stuff.

The orileys near me, well they will argue with you about parts that you ask for. I once asked for a part and gave them the number and he told me it wouldn't work on the jeep i was fixing, I told him it was a upgrade and it would work and he flat out told me he wouldn't sell it because it wouldn't work.

Only go there now to buy PB blaster and oil when they have it on sale

they cant refuse to sell you a part just because they say it wont fit. i buy parts that dont fit a particular vehicle all the time, and never have a problem.

Honest to god, the guy refused to sell it to me. I went back the next day and spoke to the manager and he was PI$$ed Off.

I have been back there since and the parts guy gives me a dirty look every time I come in.
