Tires, brakes, front end parts. NOBODY should even consider these parts
if they are made in china, unless maybe you drive a Hummer ;)
I need ball joints and stuff for my truck, the parts guy hands me crap
from china.
I told him it was a FORD and I will not put cheap made chinese parts on
it and handed them right back.
I told him, like I tell most sales clerks, I will take this item if it
is made in the USA.
So I usually walk out empty handed and tell the clerk to tell his boss
that he lost a sale because the crap was chinese.
I don't think it's working but I really do try to do my part.
After all, the job I save may be his kids!
