What Auto Parts Stores Do Free Diagnostic Testing?

My check engine light came on while i was driving. I was wanting to take it somewhere to get it scanned to see what caused the light to go on and i was wondering which auto parts stores do it for free? Does brakes plus do it?

Answer:None do "free diagnostic". Some do free "code reading" which is not even remotely the same thing. Code reading is just a matter of saying "your engine is running lean" or " you have a random misfire" or whatever the problem is. That by itself tells you almost nothing. Diagnostic is the art and science of finding out WHY you have the particular problem. Parts store guys don't do that. All they can do is suggest parts to replace that MIGHT help with the problem but usually won't.

Is It Cheaper To Buy Auto Parts Before A Mechanic Installs Them?

Does a mechanic (not a dealership) typically add 10% or so to the price of a part (timing belts, water pumps, etc.) or do they just charge what they paid for it? I was just wondering if it's cheaper to stop at O'Reilly Auto Parts, or the like, and pick up the part and give it to the mechanic to install it.

Answer:In many cases, yes it would be cheaper for you to buy parts on your own. Unfortunately no mechanic or shop in their right mind will install them. This is solely for liability reasons, they cannot guarantee workmanship or the quality of the part if they do not supply it. So in short, yes...it's cheaper. Will they install them for you? Not unless they're a shady operation...period. In addition a large shop or dealer will purchase the parts at a lower rate (they move volume) and then mark it up anywhere from 10 - 90% depending on the part. A small $4 part won't get much mark-up, a larger $60 part will get around 25%. Now, you can help yourself out a bit. Get online and price the parts you think you need and take a printout of these prices to the mechanic/dealer. This will aid in ensuring you don't get screwed on parts pricing. Hope this helps!

What Are The Requirements To Work In An Auto Parts Store?

I am 16 years old and over the summer im wanting to get a job at an auto parts store. Does anyone know how old you need to be, or any other important requirements?

Answer:Some states require a work permit below 18, just to make sure you ain't working so much it interferes with school, even in the summer time the rules may be more lax, but there may still be some. Your school would have the proper information on the legal conditions in your area. I assume since you want to work there you have enough knowledge and interest to make a good impression on the manager, and then the customers
