Re: Rey Rey Ignite questions

As far as controlling your returns, Goto TOOLS, then PARTS RETURNS 2080. Then you can CREATE a manual parts return. Using the ACTIONS tab, you can list (print) the return out and then when you're ready, you can CLEAR the return which will reduce your QOH. No need to "minus" each item out line by ...

Re: CollisionLink + Body Parts

Those of you who got in to the industry before 08, what was it like to have the manufacturer care about you?

It WAS different before 2008.

I was in GM stores since '79. I moved from a GM store to Toyota in 2008 and haven't looked back. I was an active GM wholesaler in a major metro market for 24 ...

Re: Freon Movement

Definitely can become a battle. Parts departments eat a bunch of freon. What works for me is, we charge the whole cylinder to the shop on a monthly shop ticket/RO. Every time a tech lets us know how much to charge out on a certain job, we bill it to the job then immediately credit the rolling shop ...

Re: HYBRID BATTERY OTC SALES

What's the difference in selling a standard transmission car to someone that hasn't ever used a clutch? If they are involved in an accident, would I be liable?

Autozone will sell it to them.

Re: double selling.

We close our shop RO at EOM always. Either way, it works out. If you pass a cylinder over the counter close to the end of the month, it just gets credited back to the shop lb by lb the next month and so on.
If everyone does their job, nobody is out anything. It should be a wash. If a tech fails to ...
