It's just another symptom of the "insert discount superstore name here" syndrome.
Support your local chevy dealer, and find your local AC Delco distributor. You will still occasionally get the wrong part, but the frequency will be less. OEM quality, and if you spend enough you will earn a discount.

Re: Autozone dolts.... (vetluvr)
Umm, well supporting my local GM dealership will quickly make me broke.
Example: Weatherstripping for my Grandfather's Buick:
GM Stoopidbuyer's retail: $175
GM jobber cost - local dealership: $125 (through club discount)
GMpartsdirect.com - $65 +$12 s&h
Which would YOU rather pay...and how much more are you willing to spend to 'support your local dealership'?
From appearances sake (and the $7000 Denver Markup on that Red Z06 out front) my dealership doesn't NEED my help! :rolleyes:

Amen to lighten up. A friend of mine used to work in a parts house and the tales he would tell about some customers are really enlightening. I don't expect the guys in there to be walking parts encyclopedias but I do expect fast friendly service. And that is a whole 'nother thread! :)

Re: Autozone dolts.... (southern_son)
I'm so glad I've finally gotten to the point with the guys at Advance and at the dealer that they realize that I know more than them. They just turn the computer screen toward me and let me drive. :yesnod:
