To many screw ups and cheap parts. The one yesterday really ****ed me. Gave me the wrong waterpump on a '95 Audi A6 2.8, which is driven off of the timing belt. Apparantly it went through some mid-year changes based on engine codes and what not, so they needed the last 6 of the vin. I wasn't able to accuratly compare the old pump's impeller against the new since the old one literally blew apart, I had to spend an hour fishing out broken impeller peices out of the block and then flushing out little chips after. Got it all back togethor and now I have to break it all down again and try to get the right waterpump. I've been through nightmares with a DSM as well, every single ****in part for a '90 TSI I ordered through them was wrong, and good luck getting the right axle from them for an A32, nothing better than getting a driverside and seeing a 5 foot box. Their interchange sucks, and there commercial program is a joke, no lie I can get alternators and starters for $70 less if I drive another 20 minutes to a different Autozone.

Napa's delivery where I am sucks, but oh well, from here on out people are just going to have to pay me alot more for driving out to plymouth for quality parts, I'm done with this.
