Line Changes

Getting ready for the Exploris change, we are changing some line codes.

XXX-SHM1234 - XMH-1234
XCS-1234 - XBE-1234
XXX-FMSI1234 - XSI-1234

I am sure that there will be more.

See me if you have any issues.

Payroll

I will be doing payroll on Wednesday, Oct 28th. Please make sure all vacation/sick days and timesheets are sent in before that.

Thank-you.

HID Bulbs

HID Bulbs - there might be some confusion on what CARQUEST stocks - the manager for the line ( Mike Kolzet ) assures me we have the D2R and D2S and will soon have the D1, D3 and D4 type bulbs.

Here is a helpful FAQ on HID click here for FAQ on bulbs

and the home page with more info

Are you up to date on HID bulbs - have you sold them yet ? All stores now stock the D2R and D2S bulb

Cycle Count data now in Google Docs

We have set up a CLOUD spreadsheet ( cloud refers to the fact that the actual data is somewhere out on the internet - floating like a cloud ) -- for the lines and months that these lines need to be counted in.

Managers have ability to EDIT. Your store may use the actual data or print the data and use a paper copy for any one month - time & your comments will tell us what the common sense way is.

Using Google Docs make it much easier for keeping the data up to date and consistent in all stores.

Thanks Gary

HAMSAR LIGHTS & DLR modules

a recent post on the CARQUEST Independent jobber Message Board caught our attention. HAMSAR is a supplier (manufacturer?) of Daytime Running Light Modules ( DLR's ) --these are needed on some USA cars being imported into Canada. They also manufacturer a line of industrial lights and other odd ball things ( like headlight conversion kits )

click here for Hamsar's web site

For now you can buy these products thru a CARQUEST store located just down the street from the Burlington, ON plant- the details are in Plaxo address book ( 905-335-4222 att: Jack ). We have requested a Hamsar factory rep to come make a call on us.
