FLAPS Online Ordering

Been trying out a fairly new feature for the local flaps chain here in Florida... Discount Auto Parts (owned by Advance Auto Parts) now has online ordering.

register and it remembers who you are (and what car/truck you are working on)... You put in the car/truck you are working on and you can look up your own parts. You select the part and the quantity and do the shopping basket routine. Then you check out in the normal method. I did four different orders in the last three days for side jobs and stuff I needed. Neat thing was you can choose the store you want to pick it up at. Parts will be ready in an hour. Sure was nice picking up a complete Tahoe brake job without doing the countermonkey dance. They were so new to it that they had to learn about it too.. But they liked it so much they even loaded the stuff in my trunk. Jeff (I liked everything about it except for the paying part ) Rice

It kinda stinks though that 1951 Studebaker isn't an option when choosing "My Vehicle" online. And unfortunately, when I go into the Advance Auto near my house, the first thing they ask is "Now who made Studebaker?"

When I had an overheating problem in my '92 Lebaron, it turned out to be the radiator fan motor. It was turning, but not fast enough. Chrysler used two different styles of radiator fans in the Lebaron that year... one with independant parts (shroud, fan motor, fan, etc.) and one as a complete unit. Guess which one mine had... the part was $400. Mine would only overheat if the outside temperature was over 80 degrees and when I was stopped.

Way more than a refuge. I really can't say enough about the Skelly's (Pat, Emily, and their son Lee.. My weekend up there was supposed to be an upbeat exciting adventure for Carrie and me. It turned out to be a tortuous affair saved only by the Skelly's hospitality, professionalism, and pity. (I used the flowchart all weekend and always chose 'A: Did you %$#@ with it?'... What a dufus ..) They made this weekend special, and our friendship is locked up for the long run. There's more to this story that will come out later, but I want to extend my thanks to Emily and Pat. (Oh, it sure was a pleasure swapping radiators at midnight in an air conditioned supershop during a southern Georgia thunderstorm!) Jeff (Put in a recliner chair and I could live out there!) Rice
