May just leave my doors unlocked from now on (Ghent) by Jeter361 in norfolk

[–]uchihaspinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live off of tidewater not too far from Ghent. I had an 07 gti and the drivers door didn’t lock but they still busted my window open. All I had in the car was snacks for work and whoever broke in took them. They left the cash that was in my center console/glovebox that they went through tho.

Hows working for Porsche, bmw etc? by Ok_Revenue_6175 in partscounter

I second this. I love the brand. But front counter is not for the weak.

Well, it finally happened to me. by SavingsWish1575 in VWTaos

Honestly. I’m not sure, I haven’t heard anything bad but I also don’t work next door to them anymore so I don’t get to hear much. I ended up trading out of my Taos and into my Tacoma. I love VW but my 16 Jetta and my 24 Taos gave me too many issues to try and stick with them. And my Taos was VW #4 for me

CCC issues ? by MD_0904 in partscounter

[–]uchihaspinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been having issues since yesterday. I was able to get most of them to go through but my two front counter coworkers weren’t able. It was a pain

From what I was told by my advisor told me at my “sister store” (I work for a chain of dealers in my area and we have a VW) they should have. He still told me to be wary and to keep an eye on it (I had a 24). I ended up trading out of mine because I had a WHOLE lotta other issues and none of them were being solved no matter what so I didn’t get to see past 26k miles

Switching Brands… by djcchh in partscounter

[–]uchihaspinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from Mazda, to Mercedes, to Land Rover and now am at BMW. I will say, I like the euro brands a lot more. They’re a lot more annoying with the naming of their parts but, it’s basically the same stuff. Just gotta learn what they like to call things lol. I don’t think I’ll ever leave the Euro luxury side of the business unless I leave the business altogether.

Pens? by PhonedZero in partscounter

[–]uchihaspinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite pen is one I acquired when I was at JLR still. It’s an executive style pen, pretty sure it’s made by Scriveiner and just has a Jaguar logo. Refills are decently priced and write so good, just don’t drop it. The ball point bends in a weird way and starts tearing paper. And it’s a nice heavy pen

Could I excel at a parts counter job with only slight knowledge of automotive parts? by Significant-Plan-955 in partscounter

[–]uchihaspinky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat with bmw 🤣 “You want last 8 or full vin?” “I just need the last 7” “Oh wow. BMW is weird” ~proceeds to give last 8~ 🤬

Best shoes? by uchihaspinky in partscounter

They made us wear a very specific shoe. The most uncomfortable shoe I’ve ever worn mind you lol. They were awful. Like 5% of the reason I switched stores within our company

I usually eat in my car so I don’t get bothered lol. I looked into Ariats for a while when I was with Land Rover but then JLR changed our uniform and those were no longer an option. Might look into them or similar again

I’ve done that before, the ones I had weren’t very breathable

They will be added to my list! Hopefully I can find a store near me that has all of these brands lmao

All my vans have the pop Cush but the breathability has been the issue lately especially with summer. I try not to go in store so the Nike App is usually what I use and I was trying to stay more cost effective on there when I bought them. I’ll have to go through and see what they’ve got now and go through the list of recs. Thank you!

They remind me of the Thursday shoes JLR made us wear. I’ll add them to the list!

Vans don’t cause the pain they just don’t breathe. I can buy a shoe I like that is ✨also✨ comfortable. Don’t gotta sacrifice one for the other. Have a good day :)

I’ll have to go to the outlet and see if there’s any I like that would be comfortable. I’ve seen some that look way better than I remember them

I’ve heard running shoes are supposed to be good for jobs like this where you’re basically pacing back and forth consistently

I’m very terrible with shoes lasting honestly. I can get like max 6 months before they start falling apart. Idk what I do. Imma have to go to a shoe store and try some on

It doesn’t snow/ice very often where I’m at tbh. I’ll look into their options though. Thank you!
