Never again...

...will I allow someone else to pick out my oil filter for me.

I stopped at the place down the road from my work to pick up oil and a filter for a change tonight. The person was nice enough to get my filter for me. I didn't think much about it until I'm under my truck trying to get the new filter on. I've dumped the old oil in with my other used oil and now I'm forced to put the old filter on, the new oil in and go back to the store tomorrow. Worst part is I'm trying to head up north tomorrow

I called the store as it was closing and explained what happened. We'll see how they do tomorrow. Either way, I'll chalk this up to lesson learned.

I bought a box of spark plugs one time at an auto parts store. This is when you bought a box of eight and inside the large box were eight individual boxes.

Had taken all eight plugs out of the truck, opened up the big box of new plugs then the first small box, put the first new plug in, opened up the second small box put that new plug in, but when I came to the third box and all those after, found they contained WELL used plugs. Six out of eight plugs were used. Not used as in just installed, but used as in used up, spent, worn out.

Some people.

It's amazing what some people will do to save 10 bucks.

I went in this AM and the store replaced the wrong filter and the oil I now have to dump to put the new filter on plus gave me a bit of a discount. In the end they made things right so I'll let it go. I'll still go there, but I'll be picking out my own stuff from now on.

FWIW, it was the new Auto Zone on 96 and Centerville Rd in White Bear Lake.

That is good to hear. Mistakes do happen, it is how a company deals with the mistake, is what makes the company IMO

You may not believe it but i was not surprised by that. We get used parts and parts in the wrong box all the time from the aftermarket and the dealer. I just got a flex coupling from GM last Saturday. The box had been retaped and when opened one used flex coupling! I picked up a window switch from ford a while back. Same thing open box, well used part.

It happens a lot more than you may think. Sad part is it only takes a second or two to look in the box and it would save hours of time in the future!

You should have given them your address and told them to bring you the correct one...

I don't think 96 and centerville road is in white bear lake, is it. Have to look at the boundary, but I would think it is in Vadnais. West of 35E.

Actually looking at the map, it depends on which corner it is on. White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights, North Oaks, White Bear Twp. My money is on white bear twp.
