Also they never have the parts, always the 'special order' game there.
Actually, I should have known better before I even got to the store (but they have been OK in the past...) I was washing my hands and asked my GF to call the store to make sure they had the replacement belt in stock before we drove up there.
She said, "what do I ask the guy for?", I said, "ask for a fan belt for a 95 Nissan 240SX SE".
While washing my hands I heard her say about 3 times "FAN BELT", next thing she comes through to the kitchen and says, "He's never heard of a fan belt!"
I said, "Tell him it is the belt that goes round the pulley on for the cooling fan". She tells him but he is still adamant that he's never even heard of a fan belt let alone knows what it does.....hmm
So, by now my hands are dry and I take the phone.
The guy asks, "what is it that you are looking for again?"
I said, "I'm looking for a fan belt" He says, "Faaaahhhn belt?, never heard of one of those"
I say, "you know, black belt, goes round a pulley and turns the fan...."
He says, "Oh a FEN belt!"
I say, "no, a fan belt as in F. A. N - but do you have one in stock?"
