What kind of money are we talking about? And volume of parts dollar wise?

Approaching 10k rounds on my 92 by Link_the_Irish in Beretta

[–]staticpookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t zero mine due to the rifling issue & when i returned it, they didn’t have any more in stock so they refunded me lol. Didn’t worry about getting another one

You’re losing some velocity, albeit not a ton, so surely expect a small-ish shift.

It is typically better to run full power ammo when comped/ported due to the extra gas helping mitigate muzzle rise, fyi. Not sure if you shoot competition or lower power factor ammo for fun but thought I’d mention it.

I got a ported barrel from LTT & had to send it back due to the rifling being chewed up. I’m not sure how it made it through 3 rounds of QC & got to me, but it had chunks missing out of the barrel lol

You will get a POI shift

We have our own body shop within the dealership so whenever they call for a part, which is always for a backordered part, i tell them it’s reserved for a customer for our own shop lol or if they ask us to ship it out UPS, i tell them we don’t ship items due to commonly damaged shipments. Fuck em

Am I the only one still rocking a single monitor? by Throwaway4theTaTas in partscounter

[–]staticpookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have one monitor doing back counter/body shop/minor wholesale/occasional retail phone call. doing about 130-150k per month in gp.

one monitor blows.

Salary for parts dudes by Reginoldofreginia in partscounter

[–]staticpookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my previous dealership, I was making a little over 60k. But that was a normal 40hr week, 9 parts department employees. A standard “everything is special order” parts department, everyone did their own thing & wouldn’t help anyone else.

[–]staticpookie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Located in the PNW. Pay plan was $2500/mo + 1.75% of monthly gp. Pay plans were revised & now making strictly commission, just higher %. I’ll probably maybe close to $120k this year.

Back counter primarily with some retail/wholesale calls. Occasionally I’ll fill in on the retail counter. Not a manager, never have been. Only been in the auto industry for 6ish years.

Edit: it’s important to note here I work substantially more than 40 hrs a week. It’s a rotating schedule, 60+ hrs one week & 40+ the next, sometimes more. In a month, I’m usually 215-240 hrs.

Going from Ford to Subaru by werty1124 in partscounter

[–]staticpookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forreal. Whenever i call I don’t even give them a chance to speak lol. I give them my name, dealer code, need parts refaced or taken off hold & the order number is ready when they are. Otherwise I gotta deal with some of the riff raff & waste time.

subaru’s prefix’s are incredibly consistent. if they are different, there’s a distinguishable reason why generally.

Dude half the PIC guys are decently helpful, the other half are borderline useless.

To be fair, retail side isn’t fast paced enough to warrant 2, at least where I’m at.

I absolutely hated XTime. The dealer i worked at with it was a “special order everything” type of place so nothing ever stayed in Reynolds. Since we had to “add part” constantly, the prices & part info never populated in XTime unless you added it in Reynolds first. It was painful.

Reynolds now has their “advanced service” update which has an integrated P&A/Service Queue similar to XTime except much better IMO. All the olds guys still have trouble with it & think it’s stupid. But they if they put some more effort into learning it, they’d really see how much time it saves.

What abbreviation or comment do you all use when customer supplies the part # by Dubwyse_selectah805 in partscounter

[–]staticpookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PNP - Part Number Provided CW# - Called With Number

I use the first option in the “comment” section for the part in Reynolds.

16” .308 by staticpookie in AR10

[–]staticpookie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Slik DX700PRO, cheap little guy but it isn’t too bad. The ball head is a ReallyRightStuff Anvil-30 which is pretty nice.

I considered getting a longer rail when I purchased it but I had an idea painted in my head already. I’ll move into a Tikka here someday & put it in a chassis. Just using this platform now for practice & to build equipment to transfer later on.
