Re: If you work at a dealership and are this dumb
you should be shot.
so I head on down to my local yamaha dealearship to pick up some crush washers for my brake setup. so i go down to the shop and show the guy at the counter a crushwasher i have and say i need 2 more just like these.
I told him it it was for a brake line. he asks me what kind of bike i have, I tell him gsxr 750.
he tells me we dont sell suzuki parts. 
once again i told him its for a universal brake line. So now he asks me to walk over to a r6 and show him where the part is located at so he would have a better idea of what it was
so i finally get my damn washer after 20 min. I hope no one who works at a DEALERSHIP is that stupid
ok im done now

Yeah you definatly have to babysit alot of the parts people. I go behind the counter too look at the fische alot. I also get the Parts Unlimited book and write down the part numbers myself......

.03 percent on average and .04 percent when you hit the monthly goal plus an extra $50 for hitting it. In the summer its easy to do $30,000 a month and thats about $1200 before taxes. Then i also get a decent hourly.

Re: If you work at a dealership and are this dumb
That's not true at all, i worked at a dealership for over 2 years, and probally know more then half of the small mechanics out there. Is what pisses me off is stupid *** Customers that come in and ask questions like. I need a crush washer for my oil drain bolt. I ask if they know what size it is, or what type of bike it is. The answer i get Its a honda. No year, no make, no vin # to look anything up, and he wouldnt even give me the time to go in the back and show him there was more than 1 size. Then i get told they are all universal and im an idiot.
