Auto Parts Counter Person
Online Auto Parts
What about the auto parts counter person. In a previous post I sent a little respect out to the auto repair mechanics of the world.
This led my friend to feel slighted, as his department was completely ignored during my previous post.
So in the interests of fair play this post is about the automotive part specialist. A parts counter person can have several different duties and is commonly called a materials person or specialist.
These dedicated people are found in nearly all car dealerships, as well as both retail and wholesale auto parts stores.
They sell auto parts directly to the customer and issue materials and supplies to car repair mechanics in both body shops and automobile service centers.
My friend, Jim M who is a parts counter person is friendly, professional, and very efficient when working with mechanics and customers.

But what I didn’t understand was where the parts came from. I was under the impression that the parts were manufactured in Japan, and then shipped to the United States for assembly. This is only a half-truth.
My investigation of Toyota parts!
My girlfriend has a 2002 Toyota Corolla. It was time to replace the original serpentine drive belt on her vehicle, due to heavy cracking of the now six-year-old belt. After being very disappointed with the quality of the after market dayco belt I decided to buy a factory original Toyota part. I expected this part, to have come from Japan. When the parts counter man handed me the belt, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall thickness and quality of this factory original part.
The belt was packaged in a sleeve that indicated it was a genuine Toyota part. And even included Japanese writing on it. But on the belt itself, it said made in the USA. I was blown away and asked Read more
