how to remember what we sell


I needed a pair of white shoe laces for my golf shoes --they broke at the course - so I ask the pro shop-- NOPE - we don't have any....

Well - guess what - EF Walters ( TERRA ) page 122 of the Auto Sense catalog --- we sell then -- LINE XAS- prefix is 678 then the part number ( e white shoe laces XAS-678-443 004 015 )

Click the image to enlarge. Sure is hard to remember what we sell. FYI --D&T stocks work boot laces and insoles ... have not checked Petes or Auto Barn

I will be doing payroll on Wednesday July 27th. Please make sure that time sheets and vacation/sick days are sent to me for Tuesday afternoon. Payroll will be deposited on Friday, July 29th.






Thanks.



Does DORMAN make this ??



A quick tip - just to make sure you knew .... go to the DORMAN PRODUCTS page ( see the google Doc for all lines and e-cat links ) and select the upper left as pictured -- list the vehicle and Dorman lists all available parts for that car or truck ....

Did you know this ? Just a safety check to remind some of us.

DEXOS Motor Oil



Here is a list of the DEXOS Oil ( so far ) ---I have made sure all stores have the April Super Flo ( ASF ) sku with a small re-order point --watch your sales and set accordingly.


I have asked Barry to flag ( or make a new page?) for the DEXOS approved oil on his Google Oil compare data sheet = please take a minute and make sure you have access to the data --as OIL will not get any simpler - I am afraid to say.

Better to Try & Fail than to have never tired at all ?


Sometimes the 'lets try this' works ... and sometimes it crashes and burns ... this is the case on trying to get the SD prefix ( CMX actually uses the prefix XS - but we tried along shot and changed from XS to SD ) cross drilled rotors to show up in e-cat.

Problem #1 - CMX doesn't understand or support e-cat. At some point this company will have to get the significance of e-cat ( Kingdom does )
Problem #2 - CQ won't let us use CQ-AIMCO --and when you use straight AIMCO data you get too make problems on the 'problem vehicles - like the 06 Chev Silveradoo 2500 HD with Diesel that Shawn pointed out .....

Lets try to but the data back the way we had it ... using CQ/Foster and lick our wounds and live for another day .... and keep telling ourselves -- nothing ventured -nothing gained ....

If you want to quota a cross drilled -- the SD55036 type number is in our system - just not matched to any e-cat
