It sucks, doesn't it?

ATD (American Tire Distributors) is coming to town! Does anyone use their catalog in SE 6.4? our atd just opened today, I am on my third call to them today. 1st call on automated hold for too long. 3 + min 2 nd call answered before 3 minutes 3rd call, just hung up 4+ min on hold. I am not impressed...

I wasn't aware of any ATD catalog that interfaces with SE. We used their stand-alone website. Maybe Tim can shed some light...

At the last place I worked, anytime I did a revision, on the last line I put a note with my name, and the date it was estimated. Our service writer there was terrible, (they did finally get rid of him), he wouldn't even clear them out if the work was done, so it looked like there was always revisio...

Found the cat flush you're talking about:

Mine doesn't pull up all those. Are you running SE 6.4 Tina?

...just did another one on Monday...

what about checks. I have a fd200 that is cc, db and ck all in one. if the current one will not do checks, is there a plan to maybe incorporate tele check into the mix. We pay a monthly fee for the service and a very small transaction fee. I am very happy to have this service. For I am the one who ...

So far, all credit card transactions have been deposited to our account in 2 days.

We were also one of the Beta test shops. I haven't much to add to Gerald's review. We too have had an excellent experience thus far and don't expect to be changing back to our original credit card processing method. The rates so far have been slightly better than what we had and although we were und...

I've gotten it several times, but not lately.

I'm not saying that using Autolite plugs is the issue. I'm saying he needs to make sure that the spark plug installed is actually the correct plug for that application. I had a Mitsubishi in last week that had a set of Autolite's installed. The plug was had the right thread pitch, so it screwed righ...

Anythings possible. I too believe in sticking with the correct manufacturer of spark plugs, but did you check to see if the correct Autolite plug was even installed. I've seen shops put a totally wrong plug for the application in a vehicle and cause all kinds of problems. I think the route you're su...

I've used these guys before, but never on Volvo clusters. They're out of Richmond, Virginia. They advertise that they do Volvos.

I've cleaned plenty of the Fords that have the "special coating" (real impressed with the coating...NOT!) and never had a problem. You have to be very careful on some manufacturers throttle body designs though. I do not spray throttle bodies that have IACs located on the underside or ones with drive...

Looks like its off to the salvage yard!

Napa has it in Disputanta Virginia. It can be overnighted to me by tomorrow if ordered by 3pm. Don't know how long to get it to you.

Yeah, they're real proud of their parts! I try to get everything from WorldPac.

Have had a lot of these with oil consumption issues. Volkswagen states that 1 qt of oil per 1200 miles is acceptable usage. There are several TSB's related to this in Alldata and Mitchell. I've never seen a head gasket go in one of these...not to say it's not possible, but it's not a common thing. C...
