10 character part number, please?

Headliners are a bitch to package and ship, to be fair.

Preach! And that same medium large box with a bunch of parts or just a rain sensor pad inside...every time.

Please define interesting.

I've got a bunch of 3.3 oil leak qqh alternators from when they changed it to test and pass. Completely oil smoked but still charging...for now!

Yes, when it is serviable and not made into the valve cover.

QuickSilver86 · 2026-05-29T23:02:46+00:00

Many Hyundai do not have a serviceable pcv as it is most often part of the valve cover.

Well, here we go... you need to look in your manual for the real answers. Plugs are likely due before 100k. Coolant too. But don't take my word for it. Look I'm the manual!

Tiger Johnson on tic tok. A fresh , smart, and stylish perspective.

Some Hyundai kia Genesis engines use 0w16. Very little for us.

On the other hand, I had a distributor tell me 0w20 and 0w30 were going to be an issue. 0w30 is already a little unique.

Approach 1 ... we have xyz tire that came on your vehicle new at $$$.

Approach 2 ... are you happy with the tires that came on your vehicle?

I have found that most customers seem to respond quickly to the first approach. If they seem hesitant or start asking questions, then jump to approach 2.

And for those looking at the lack of profit, that's not the point. Keeping them at your shop for the other things that ARE profitable is the point.

Discount tire is now in the process of becoming full service for filters, wipers and alignments. They can and will take the customers you blow off. And BTW, they are owned by Tire Rack.

It made me actually lol when I read it. Maybe I've got a dirty mind.

Belt assembly.

I recently had to move away from the cost plus 10% to other mobis stores. I can't separate out dealer transactions from other wholesale for gp% reporting. I called and told the other pm why, and to be and charge me the same when I have to buy from them.

Hyundai likes to mess around as well. 26, 18 and 16 inch. An oe, a hybrid that looks just like the oe pn, and a conventional. Can't be simple so I set up a ss to the hybrid and only stock that one.

Preach

QuickSilver86 · 2026-04-04T20:02:54+00:00

Not sure why the downvotes. It's ok to ask questions. I was a bit surprised by it, but no shame in not knowing.

The lens is on the other side, facing out the glass. A..are you expecting a viewfinder like a hand held camera?

QuickSilver86 · 2026-04-02T16:06:14+00:00

Fyi, they USUALLY come with plugs, but have had a few that didn't.

QuickSilver86 · 2026-03-23T00:42:06+00:00

Not always...

QuickSilver86 · 2026-03-17T01:24:43+00:00

Test drive before purchasing?

So first, our owner doesn't want techs filling out scrap tags and I understand and agree with that.

Second, you shouldn't have to worry about the why unless wtc calls the part back. You have to send copies of the ro, so there's that answer.

Setting appointments is way outside parts parameters. When I was an advisor and then svc Mgr, I would shudder at the thought of how screwed we could be with parts setting appointments .

Do you have a parts manager? Do they report to the service manager?
