The awesome employee there told me how to improvise the spark plug socket using a 1/2-inch of automotive tubing and a non-spark plug socket. Smart and helpful guy!
I live 75 miles away, but visit the area often, and come here whenever I can. It is SO REFRESHING to visit an auto supply store that solves problems instead of looking no further than YMM (aka year-make-model).
Time and again, I've come in attempting to solve a problem in a nonstandard way, or even a non-car problem and they've found a path (and the best path) to success. My best example is a vital tractor hydraulic hose, unavailable at John Deere. They worked with me, and together, they fabricated a hose solving one end, but leaving a half inch steel tube nearly finishing the other - knowing that a half inch compression fitting is 12.7mm and will likely squeeze down to the John Deere 12mm line. And it worked. Eight months later, John Deere still does not have the part, but my tractor is still working and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Try to find this kind of problem solving at a national chain store. Good Luck. Or just come here.
These guys are very knowledgeable when it comes to parts all around cheap prices, weekly deals it’s hard to go there and not talk for an hour because they are so great. Last but not least rob the manager will bend over backwards to help you out thank you for helping me out when I need it.
