YEA I hear ya on that, advance auto is were most of mine is from....not bad stuf..but not top notch lol. hell I'm even goona do the cam bearings myself now too. Not the best plan but Its the satifation of doing it yourself, especially if I break the N/A 3.4 F-body record(15.0).
Besides that...I've been at Sam's for a month and I'm already better than most the guys there...we sell optima bateries and the counter guys tell the customers the energizer is just as good WTF!!!!!. they don't know that you cant lift a truck from the leaf spring mount, because when the spring decompresses it rotates almost enough to make the truck slip off(hapened 2 days before I started...and they don't know why), they don't know that new ford explorers have internal presure sensors that AREN'T in the valve stem...they put standard stems on load D tires...I'm the new guy and I'm showing guys stuff that have been there for years. It took every guy in the shop to figure out why a 94 golf had an iratic idle...it took me 30sec to find the vaume line that wa leaking and another 5 to fix it...I did chassis work for on guy who no-one could figure out why he had a shim in the wheel took me 2 mins to find his LCA bolt in the plastic cover, and these are employees cars(we only do tire/batteries)...the guys I work with are not techs by any means ther tire guys...thats it...they make the autobone retards look like ASE master techs
