A girl named Camry paid me $5 to put a 20 amp Mini ATO fuse in her Jeep Wrangler’s Dashboard.

Then I spent it on Taco Bell. The Joys of working in an auto parts store

Do you get solicited a lot? For example when you tell a person their CEL is because of a bad O2 sensor, do they ask you if you could replace it for them on your personal time?

I thought parts stores weren’t allowed to actually do any work on cars?

Maybe Denver can chime in on actual O’Reilly’s policies/customs but I work next door to one and the employees seem to be tinkering on customers cars all the time. Maybe they’re just nice and/or bored and/or like working on cars.

My store always offers to change bulbs whenever I buy them. This doesn’t seem that much different

We can do little things like replace fuses/relays, install batteries, light bulbs, wiper blades, lift supports, etc.. We just cant do anything invasive or anything that involves fluids.

All my local parts stores won’t even change wiper blades.
