Exactly.
Coupe = 2
Sedan = 4
KISS system works well from time to time.
I will say that working for a place like Autozone can be fustraiting when you have the younger/newwer people asking you bone-head questions. It almost slips you up.
We also have a problem with the people that designed the software.
If you are looking for axle bearings or seals for, oh lets say a GM 10 bolt. It will say "Not Yet Available" or NYA.
But...if I look up rear WHEEL bearings/seals for a whatever whatever car...tada!!
Example was recently when I was looking for the bearings for the 9 bolt. Said NYA.
So I put in "wheel bearings-rear"
TADA! Set9 bearings.
Yeah the software has a sh1tty cross reference system. For example, I tried finding a fan switch for any jeep 4.0. Its called a coolant relay or something like that, cooling fan switch, rad fan switch, none of that works. Our store in neptune really isnt bad, our managers and most of the sales people know what they are doing for the most part. But, autozones training/application process places 0 emphasis on knowledge of cars/parts. Its all about following rules, selling useless stuff, coming to work on time and not stealing money. Thats all they care about. Its no different than Kmart or target.
