Oh I got a chuckle out of it. But I shook my head at how pathetic and ruthless they are.

At a GM dealership here I went in on two occasions and they could not find part numbers for me...these were common parts too, it's not like I was looking for something that is hand delivered by horse and sherpa trekking through the Himilayan mountains to my door. These guys really were that stupid.
I ended up finding the parts on GMpartsdirect.com and purchased them through ebay. That dealership is scheduled to close.

Dealer: I can not seek for parts, if I don't have the VIN.
Me: Shall I show you how to operate your system? Of course you can- you don't know how to- thats a difference.


wanted to have a thermo switch for 90° C:
gave the number 123 456 789 D
Parts: sorry, Sir thats a 110°C switch
A = 80°C
B = 90°C
C = 100°C
D = 110°C
me: so? just seek for the proper ending- is that so difficult?

parts: that 90°C switch does not exist under that number!

Me: I need a rebuild kit for a holley 650 double pumper. May i see your holley parts book.
Counter guy: I'll look it up. Year make and model?
Me: You won't find it that way.
CG: Year make...
Me: 77 plymouth arrow.
CG: Engine?
Me: 360 small block.
CG: What?
Me: 5.9L
CG: Sir that engine isn't on my list.

I laughed at his incompetence and walked out. Gotta love Murrays/o'rileys.

Worst thing I ever believed from a dealership: "We had our Cummins specialist look at the truck and the transmission is shifting 'as designed'! It should be a good truck for you..."

3 months later the trans exploded. There was no usable pieces left...

This wasn't from a dealer but from the adjuster from a insurance company. After my wreck I was told "well since your trucks a rear wheel drive you don't have a rear axle" huh still confused by that one but it made many good laughs later.

Ohhh and one time I was told my 2wd 5speed needed a automatic trans flush and transfer case service done.
