So, I totally regret not taking auto mechanics when I was in high school. It would have been FAR more beneficial than AP European History has proved to be. I rarely use AP Euro outside of my tea times with the Queen of England.
Anyhow, the kids at the high school I teach at are awesome as is their auto teacher, and they do all my oil changes and whatnot and save me mucho dinero. So what I do is order the parts I need, and they fix it! This is where CarQuest comes in. I wasn't exactly sure what parts I needed, but I had an idea... something about an idler tension pulley on the a/c belt. Or something like that.
Over the phone, Roderick was extremely friendly and helpful. He answered all my questions, ordered a part just in case I decided I needed it, and got me all taken care of by the time I arrived at the store. When I got there he knew exactly what I needed, knew all about my particular vehicle, and gave me suggestions. I bought a belt, tensioner pulley, idler pulley, and oil filter, all for about $70. Whichever parts I didn't wind up needing I returned, no problem.
For friendliness and convenience, CarQuest was awesome and I will absolutely use them again. :) read more
