Sweet Deal/Trashed Rearend

blazee · #1 01-13-2006, 04:48 PM

Within the next few days, I plan on doing a little work on my Blazer. I got 4 new rotors from AutoZone. I went to Advance Auto and bought 4 new calipers, all new pads, 2 upper ball joints, 2 lower ball joints, a new air filter, and 6 AC Delco platinum plugs. I also got the stuff to do a fluid swap for the tranny. When everything was totaled up it was lower than I had estimated... I didn't know why at the time. When I got home I was going over the receipt and figured out what happened..... they only charged me for 1 spark plug, but gave me 6. That means that I just got a new set of AC Delco plats for $1 each.

EDIT: This started out as a positive thread, but skip down to post # 18.

Nice, was it by chance a woman behind the counter?Reason i ask is back in november when i bought the pushrods for the V8 the woman behind the counter only rang up the one pushrod instead all 16 so i got 16 for 1.32 instead of like 25-28 bucks.

srbianats · #14 01-14-2006, 12:23 AM
