    Anyone going to John's Auto in Blaine soon?

    I'm needing someone to scout for me if you're heading there today or tomorrow by chance. I need to know if there are any 05-07 envoy/trailblazers there (I'm looking for a specific headlight switch).



    They don't have it inventoried online, and the guy at the desk said "yeah, there's probably a couple out there". I just don't want to drive to Blaine, from Prior Lake, and find out it was a waste of a trip. Thanks,

    Umm, there may be a couple out there but now that it is LKQ there is no admittance to the yard.

        yeah, I saw that, I'm also a cheap bastard, so finding a used one going to be my #1 choice, before I order a switch for $44


        As of May 1st, Johns Auto Parts regular hours will be Monday-Friday 8-5:30 and Saturday 8-3:30. Johns is now closed on Sundays.

        Edit: I completely missed that part of the website , welp I guess I'll have to order it online afterall.

          So to save $20 on a part, you'd spend a few hours dicking around, plus spending that money in gas anyway, just to get a used part that will probably fail? Ok.

              .

              I used to do that. Those days are over.

              Just send it to me Amazon, and if it's fucked up? They take it back, no problem.

                  I wont buy anything electrical used anymore. Almost 90% of the used parts we get at work are junk. They dont inspect shit anymore.

                      I bought 3 things from Amazon yesterday. All 3 - separate orders.

                      1 TB Hard Drive in the morning? Check
                      Bluetooth wireless speakers mid morning? Check
                      Deodorant at night? Check

                      Shipping cost? 0

                      Amazon Prime is teh shiat.

                      I would like to order shit all at once, but I just buy it as it comes to me. I rarely shop anywhere else.

                      If I can't find it on Amazon, I better make sure I really want it to have to drive somewhere. The risks are too high these days that you will get shit service from some asshole who doesn't give a fuck about customer service or the company they work for.

                        I bought a rifle sling.

                        You bought deodorant online? That's the craziest shit I've ever heard of. I may look into doing things like that.

                          It's not that I wanted to, brah. It's that my favorite scent that I have been wearing for years was all of the sudden not found at:

                          Walmart
                          Target
                          Walgreens

                          After that, I am not driving anywhere else. So I check on Amazon. And I bought it bulk. 6 sticks for significantly less than buying in the store. Plus I didn't have to go anywhere.

                          I'm buying more shit on Amazon too just to not have to go and shuffle through a bunch of fat retards at Walmart with their screaming kids and disgusting behaviors, just to save a little as opposed to going to Target or Walgreens.

                          I've been buying large shit on Amazon to take advantage of Prime...like Paper Towels and Toilet Paper. It's cheaper and shipping is free, and sure beats the fuck out of having to go to the store. I get it shipped to work, and that's that.

                          If you have prime, try it out for regular shit you buy in the store, pending it's not perishable. You will get it cheaper, save the gas and most importantly not have to go to a store full of inconsiderate retards and 400 cash registers and only having 5 open.

                          Edit:

                          Take a look at this yo. This is what I buy typically. Sparkle paper towels at the Walmart...the regular size. I'm fairly certain that I get 8-10 of them for around 10 bucks.

                          This is what you can get on Amazon. 24 GIANT rolls for 24 bucks. Shipped free.



                          Screw going to Walmart or any other store for this shit.

                              I don't care how low prices Walmart is, I will not go there. Nothing against the store, but the people of Walmart. Well, the stores are kind of jacked too from what I remember. Fuck all of it.

                              I wonder if you can get cadbury cream eggs off amazon..
