Busy work day


Recommended Posts

All right, I know venting isn't something I do regularly on here, but this time I have to. Today was "lets order everything from CarQuest at once" day. I've never filled so many big freaking orders in my life.

First call of the day: Its one of our bigger shops with 12 service bays total, 8 indoor, 2 outdoor, and 2 alignment racks. Well guess what... THEY"RE ALL FULL, and he needs parts for every single one of 'em. Normally vehicles are split into different tickets with different PO's from this customer, but this time he didn't even have time to give me different PO's, he just said to put it all on one ticket and use SHOP as the PO, so away I went:

Bay 1: 2002 Chevy K1500, Front axles, hubs, rotors, loaded calipers, brake hoses

Bay 2: 1998 Honda Accord 2.2L, Timing belt, Timing tensioner/idlers, Water pump, Thermostat, Radiator hoses, Cam seals, Crank seal, the other drive belts

Bay 3: 1985 Caddy DeVille, Spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, pcv valve, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, transmission filter

Bay 4: 1997 Toyota Camry, Front pads, front rotors

Bay 5: 2001 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0L, Spark plugs, wires, pcv valve, air filter, fuel filter

Bay 6: 1998 Ford Crown Vic, Front pads and rotors

Bay 7: 1998 Acura 3.2TL, thermostat, radiator hoses

Bay 8: 2001 Chevy C1500 U-joints

Bay 9 (alignment rack): 1997 Chevy K3500, Pitman arm, Idler arm, Centerlink, Steering stabilizer, inner & outer tie rod ends, and adjustment sleeves

Bay 10 (alignment rack) 2003 Ford Excursion, Tie rod ends, front shocks

Bay 11 (outdoor): 1997 Chevy Lumina struts all the way around

Bay 12 (outdoor): 1992 Chevy C1500, rear shoes, drums, wheel cylinders, hardware and rear brake hose

So after rounding all the stuff up, the next shop that calls us is one of our ambulance shops, they've got three ambulances down for service.

2003 Ford E350 6.0L Dsl A/C compressor, Accumulator, Orifice Tube, drive belt

2002 GMC G3500 6.0L, Air filter, Fuel filter, plugs, wires

1998 Ford E350 7.3L Dsl, Belt, Alternator, Power steering pump, and P/S pressure hose

And the third order before I decided that I needed a fifteen minute break to go and rest:

One of our H/D Fleet service shops calls:

2000 Chevy C5500, Wheel bearings and seals

1977 Ford F700, belts, alternator, water pump, front brakes

1994 GMC TopKick, front and rear loaded calipers

1995 GMC Safari, plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, front pads, front rotors, front wheel bearings and seals, oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets, blower motor (apparently this thing had multiple problems) headlight switch, and power brake booster.

Anyway it goes, y'all think I had a busy Saturday?
