Hey, @RockAuto, here's a marketing tip for you. As much as I've loved collecting those cool car refrigerator magnets you've been tossing into the box with each of my orders over the years, at this point I think I'll need to get another refrigerator to accommodate them all.

How about for every $500 of orders you throw in an actual wrench, elegantly embossed with the RockAuto logo? Over the course of the years of being a loyal RockAuto customer, you could collect a whole set. That's how I built up the screwdriver set I got from Texaco, which I still have.

I'd personally be partial to starting off with a 12-point 14mm offset box wrench, the kind Pilot owners need to remove that last gnarly driver's side bolt to change the out of round sway bar bushings in order to cure the common problem of front end clunking at low speeds.

Metric Offset Box Wrench Set, 8 Pc.

Easy to replace front sway bar bushings?


Hey, if you'd like to go all out and give away something really eye-catching and exclusively brand-memorable, how about cool RockAuto embossed horseshoe wrenches? Again, I'd start with a boxed 12-point 14mm one, for reasons stated above.

Easy to replace front sway bar bushings?


Although the Marketing position looks swell, I think I'll give it a pass. I had a colleague in Japan who was from Madison and while he was indeed pretty hip, in all the seven years we were there he never came out of the closet about being from an isthmus. Those were different times, I suppose.

Tool promo! That's a great idea. And you came up with it without being in WI, USA.
Bachelor degree in marketing?

Nope, B.Ed. from McGill and Master's from the Sorbonne. And the School of Hard Knocks.

Yep,
For me, I can't say I went to school with no shoes, but having been raised on a pig farm, a degree at Harvard was not exactly in the dreams and aspirations. Birthing piglets before catching the school bus by 6:45 am was common.
It was nice when my oldest brother got his license to drive. The 6 cylinder F-150 wouldn't crank half the time. My 2 brothers would push and I would pop the clutch with my butt hanging off the seat using the steering wheel as leverage. I was to small to push being the youngest. What this has to do with not getting a Bachelors degree, I dunno. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

My strut finally arrived yesterday after being on a local FedEx truck and "out for delivery" for 6 days in a row. When it finally got here, the end of the box was badly ripped, the end of the strut mount bolts were sticking out of the box. They don't look damaged, but the bag with the 3 installation flange nuts that was just loose in the bottom of my first strut box was nowhere to be seen in this one, evidently falling out the gaping hole in the box. You'd think KYB or RockAuto would do something better with the little bag of nuts besides throwing them loosely into a huge thin-wall box with inadequate bubblewrap. I've asked them to send me the missing parts, but I've heard nothing back yet.

RockAuto has saved me lots of $. But it's times like these they really need to improve. Like, maybe someone to talk to? When you go to the website, you feel like your being cross examined like a thief on trail when you click their half truth pre-written explanations until finally if you've selected all the right choices you get to say what you want.
