Carquest of Everett

Always helpful, nice, and professional. I choose this place over any other local parts store.

Went here thinking, this is an older parts house, they’ll understand older cars. Heck they even have a machine shop. So I take in a drag link to have the pitman arm bushing pressed out and the new one pressed in. I mean, how much could it possibly be. $ 15 plus a $ 1 hazardous waste disposal… Its a metal bushing the size of your thumb. I already removed the bolt and rubber surround! It could not have taken more than 5 minutes! The gal helping obviously sees the shock on my face a proceeds to tell me that «they must have been feeling nice, cause its only $ 16 plus tax»… Excuse me, but you have NO idea what you are talking aboit. This was a very simple job! I could have done it at home but figured since you were close, I’d just bring it in.
So I decide to walk back in just to see if by chance it was a fluke. Maybe it was a harder job than I am giving credit. So I ask the same gal that helped me the first time to look up inner tie rods for my 62 Corvair. Same car… «Who makes that» she says! You sell car parts in a part house! Who makes that??? Lady, go back to the retail clothing store job you carried before selling car parts! She then proceeds to give me a price of $ 95 each «plus I have to charge you shipping costs». I can get 2 of these shipped to my do for $ 74.65… Thats for 2!
Needless to say, I will not be going back. Stay away unless being totally hosed is your thing… Irritated! !!
