I gotta Vent! Napa screwing me over... :(

[r0lf-]

Well... this morning I went out to the local napa to pick up a starter to replace my old one. I go there and pick up a starter, come home and start installing it.

So I put the power to the solenoid and start tightening the bolt. I get about 3/4 of the way there and the freaking solenoid cover explodes into 5 pieces. So im a little upset that they are selling this garbage... I go back and im expecting a new solenoid atleast if not a refund on the starter so I can get a real quality part. Right? Wrong.

The parts guy tells me I was overtightening the bolt or that my wrench was at a funny angle. Ok, even if I was at a "funny angle" the damned solenoid shouldnt be exploding if there is the least bit of pressure on it. My old starter could be tightened every wich way.

So he wont give me a new solenoid and tells me he can talk to his parts guy tommorow and he'll sell me a new one now. Maybe I can get a refund tommorow or something. He brings out a whole new starter and rings it up. I tell him I just need the solenoid and he gives me some big fit. Then on top of that they are out of stock on them.

Man did I give that guy a piece of my mind. Swervin, your right. You do get what you pay for... I shouldve done it right the first time and got a quality piece and pay a little more.

Sorry, that just really ticked me off.
