Kragen Auto Parts

If you knock your pilot mirror clean off while exiting your tiny garage… this is the place to go.
The service I recieved from George at Kragen was absolutely outstanding. In fact, he ended up coming outside to install the part for me and couldn’t have been more friendly about it.
I will never set foot in another auto parts store. Really great people and reasonable prices.

Before leaving for my trip, I had to hook the car up. After getting new tires, oil change and air filter and all fluids topped off, I needed some new wiper blades and some flares. I didn’t think that I would need flares as I had not planned to drive at night, but I got them just in case. I guess they are good to have in the ride anyway. After getting the flares I asked the sales lady how to use them… she had no clue. A fellow customer showed me how easy they were to use.
I gave the make and model for my car to a salesman behind the desk. He looked it up and went and got the blades for me. I felt confident and happy when I left.
That is where my happiness ended. When I got the blades home I made the mistake of getting a ghetto handyman to put them on for me as I could not figure out the locking mechanism/​apparatus. He noticed that the blades were two different sizes. He refused to put them on and when I looked my windshield and the wiper stems, I said yeah… that looks about right. Why would he pull the wrong blades? Then the dumbass said that he had never seen wipers with two different sizes before and started to walk away when I showed him that the blades he had just removed were two different sizes.
That’s right… I pwned his ass.
I am so glad to be the fuck out of Long Beach.

So you’re driving… driving to work, driving to the grocery store… etc etc… and you notice that things are NOT lit before you as they once were — DANG IT — the headlight went out in my car! Seems like such an easy fix, but it isn’t like replacing your lamp at home. I did a little search and saw this auto parts place about a mile from my work.
I have the silver star brand, which I really like. Its more of a white light than a yellow or a blue.
I stood in line as I had no idea where or which one to buy. The aisles here were very intimidating and of course me in my suit & heels coming in here… well, I was a duck out of water. The guy was very helpful and even helped me install my headlight. I watched him just so I know how to do it myself (insert joke here) next time. $ 25 and I was on my way. Kudos for the small town service of this parts place as I surely would have struggled with installing it myself.
