Screw Autozone

[Dave Legacy]

It's parts guy syndrome. Anyone who has worked at a dealership has to know what I'm talking about.

No fights here, just honesty.

I said it with a smile on my face. Most of the folks I go with are in Toyotas. I pick on them for driving underpowered tin(yota) cans. They pick on me for carrying a parts store in the back just in case.

On the fan blade you can go back to Autozone and get an Imperial 215157 viscous clutch and an Imperial 220618 metal fan.

Tom, that's what I call service.

Autozone isn't the only game in town, maybe the other guys have some manners.

Try Paul Grant or Will Tillery, it'd be a safe bet one of them has one laying around:

paulgrant AT mac.com
willtillery AT roverguy.com

had my first experience with Will cant say enough nice things... Got the right parts at a great price

Sucks you got a horrible experience from the autozone guys ... I like O'Reilly's as I have never had a negative experience from there in the past.

I usually try to perpetuate the totally unreliable piece of crap Land Rover myth, in an effort to continue to drive down the used market value of these pretty awesome misunderstood vehicles.

So you're the one. Thanks for 'fessing up. :coffeedrink:
I wondering who the guilty party was.

Usually the bone heads bagging on Rovers have had a really bad experience and they have written off the brand for life. They are also usually a really good source for a parts rig.

Yeah, I got mine at Advance Auto actually. I just wanted to tell him he had to go back to Autozone. LOL

Doesn't it feel good to vent about it on the Portal? :sombrero:
I'd be curious to hear what corporate says. Unless he was teasing, that was pretty rude to say. I have had nothing but good experiences with Napa. Luckily our local Napa has 1 employee (a small town) and he knows his job, and has a good attitude.

I like my autozone, they remember me now and don't ask if it's a Toyota anymore. They also remember to give me 20% off for military discount to.

WHAT? They do a military discount? I stopped going to Autozone because Advanced offered a 10% military. Is that just that store, or standard policy?:Wow1:

Another tale of parts shops... When I lived in way remote Northeast Oregon I think I may have had the only Rover in a 3-county area...at least I never saw another one. And yet in LaGrande I walked out of a store with a Wix air filter, Wix oil filter and fuel filter. Here in Cottonwood Arizona there are a number of Rovers, but you have to order an air filter! (By the way, the Union-Wallowa County region is both gorgeous AND empty...perfect for Rovering. I don't recall the name of the shop in LaGrande...but it was downtown on the main drag if you even need some basic stuff.

That's not always an answer though, as evidenced by this thread:

I would have told him sure I will drive it off a cliff, and then drive it right back up the cliff.
