I've always been really into cars and I want to try and get a job at an auto parts store like Autozone or somewhere like that.. Although, I don't want to look stupid if someone comes in asking me to do something that I don't know how to do. I know a good bit of things about cars just not a whole lot. I've seen girls working at auto parts stores before, and I've never seen them have to do a lot of things. Does anyone know what exactly they look for when they hire people??Auto parts store experts please!!?
There going to look for you expertise in car parts sales and mechanical ability. There going to want someone who has some kind of knowledge about cars. You can always brush up on how to do certain things along with getting more knowledge on diagnosing problems. Your there to help them find the right part along with helping them diagnose the problem because a lot of people don't have the money to pay for a mechanic to diagnose a car.Auto parts store experts please!!?
Your knowledge of cars will help alot.

Where can I find a 2000 Chevy Metro tie rod , it seems that there is not an auto parts store?
out there, even online, that carries it!Where can I find a 2000 Chevy Metro tie rod , it seems that there is not an auto parts store?
Is it an inner or an outer?? If you cant find one at your local parts place just go to a GM dealer sometimes on front end parts the dealer can actually be less expensive. Good Luck!!
contact you local salvage yard and see if they can't locate one.Where can I find a 2000 Chevy Metro tie rod , it seems that there is not an auto parts store?
I thought that the metro was phased out before 2000..
Napa doesn't carry it, Sorry to say, may have to hit up the dealership. Also, a word of advice, you may not want to buy steering, or alignment parts from a junkyard. Its probably why they are there in the first place. Nothing much is guaranteed there.Where can I find a 2000 Chevy Metro tie rod , it seems that there is not an auto parts store?
Try Napa. Or Pep Boys.
Try doing a web search under collison parts. Tthat might helptravel trailers

Is there an online Auto Body Parts store that will paint the parts they sell?
Im looking for a Tacoma front bumper but all the ones I found are black or primer grey. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that will paint the parts they sell. Thank youIs there an online Auto Body Parts store that will paint the parts they sell?
No, for the simple reason that it's impossible to ship it without it getting damaged, and the cost of the paint and painting would triple the price of the parts.Is there an online Auto Body Parts store that will paint the parts they sell?
Bodyshops may do that if they have a mess of parts lying around but otherwise that is why you can buy spray bombs, or a paint brush and can of paint.DIY
How many truck colors are there for Tacoma? So that is "why" it is black(as black goes with everything - or primer grey in case you want to get it painted the same color as your vehicle.Is there an online Auto Body Parts store that will paint the parts they sell?
i am not sure of an actual parts dept. that will sell painted but i do know what some EBAY sellers will sell new painted parts. you could check that but also be aware that buying painted will cost more than primer or black.

Are car care accessories, oil, coolant, etc. gonna be more expensive at a regular store or auto parts store?
By a regular store, I could mean a grocery store that also has a Pharmacy and office supplies, car stuff, magazines, etc., or a gas station, or whatever. By an auto parts store, I don't mean one that sells just auto parts. The ones I've been to sell everything car-related. What I'm getting at here is, is a place that sells all car stuff gonna charge you more cuz that's where you'd go to get everything you need for your car or would a regular store charge you more cuz that's not their most popular items?Are car care accessories, oil, coolant, etc. gonna be more expensive at a regular store or auto parts store?
It depends on which store you go to. A convenience store.. DEFINITELY. Wal-Mart usually runs about the same as the auto part stores. It depends on which store you go to. WalGreens usually runs higher. I would suggest a WalMart or the parts store. Parts stores usually beat competitor's prices too! Try that out. You could even call your local stores and do a price check on an item at each store.
Well if I understand your question will buying car parts at say a auto parts store cost more then say a place like wal-mart.
In Most cases yes. however since most polish and antifreeze and other products that depend on the oil industry yes. It seems that the oil company's can just about charge what thy want for anything mad from oil and its by products.
Since that hurricane that just about wiped out most of the off shore oil platforms oil and its byproducts are going up.
If say you buy auto products from wal-mart and such places buy in quantity. The more thy buy the cheaper the cost.
Sure auto parts charge more for parts thy don't have the quantity of story's like the "super stores" thy have to charge a little more.
Hope this answers your question and thanks for the question.Are car care accessories, oil, coolant, etc. gonna be more expensive at a regular store or auto parts store?
walmart would be most cheap...and then places like autozone...oreilly autoparts.... but not grocery stores...or drug stores. gas stations have a high mark up on stuff they sell anyway, so definitely not those either.
I find it varies upon items, usually it seems the auto part store a little higher on car preventive maintenance.Are car care accessories, oil, coolant, etc. gonna be more expensive at a regular store or auto parts store?
I've seen similar prices at both, auto stores will have more sales on stuff like oil and filters.

I know for a fact that a quart of oil is cheaper at an auto parts store; Auto Zone, Pep Boys than at a gas station and probably the other places you mentioned as well. Plus you have more options for all those products at the auto parts store.
So, to narrow it down, a regular store can and will charge more because if you're buying it there, it is most likely something you need right then and you pretty much have to get it. You know, the core pricniple of economics; supply and demand.
"a regular store charge you more cuz that's not their most popular items?"
There's your answer right there! Grocery stores usually charge more and have a limited selection. The exception is some place like Wal-Mart, there oil is cheap although the price has gone up recently. So I'd say your best bet is with auto parts stores.Are car care accessories, oil, coolant, etc. gonna be more expensive at a regular store or auto parts store?
i would recommend going to a car store. their products should be more higher quality and the people working in the store would know more about what you want to buy. even if they are more expensive, i think it would be worth going to the car store.
CHain stores seem to have lower prices than like a single auto parts store. best prices will be at target, kmart or walmart, they can buy that same oil or antifreeze in such huge quantities, they can sell it for less.Are car care accessories, oil, coolant, etc. gonna be more expensive at a regular store or auto parts store?
Higher price doesn't always mean better quality... Take wal mart for example... same big jug of mobil one at advance for 25 bucks.... and at wally world its 20.... and not always the autoparts stores know they're stuff.... napa would be a exception.... they usually know they're stuff...

Is there a national auto parts store that rents tools?
Just wondering I was told there was but the person who told me couldn't remember which one. I need the tool to change my ball jointsIs there a national auto parts store that rents tools?
Auto Zone does. That's the only one I can think of off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure I've seen other places that will too. Maybe the others aren't national, but I'm sure Auto Zone does.
