[Shop-talk] Wholesale Auto Parts (Otto? Otto parts?)

[Nolan]

Goodyear tires stores have been that way for decades.

Gal I knew showed up one night in tears over the safety inspection hit list 
they gave her on a car she'd just bought.  Six pages long.  It was so bad it 
was downright funny.  She needed new tires, new doors, new windows, new 
fenders, new shocks, new springs, new radiator, new exhaust, new lights, new 
hood, new window cranks, new steering wheel, new gauges, new seats, new seat 
belts, new bumpers, new engine, new transmission, new differential, new 
waterpump, new alternator, new wipers, new horn, etc, etc, etc.

After we calmed her down, and spent a long time laughing at the incredible 
list Goodyear came up with, we sent her to a friends shop.  I think she 
needed a set of shocks, nothing more.
