Somewhere in western Oklahoma, one of my tires started losing air. This led to some interesting…read morecultural exchanges, but it got annoying after a while to have to stop every so often and have to refill the tire. When I got home, I was finally able to take it in, and was told that I had a cracked wheel. The next day at work, I was griping to a couple friends about how much this was likely to cost and they both suggested that I go to a junkyard. I had always heard about junkyards, but had never been to one. When I checked the yellow pages, I was happy to see that there was one so close to me and decided to go check it out. Boy, am I glad I did! Price at Discount Tire - $155; price at Ryan's Junkyard - $85, plus a $10 rebate for giving them the cracked wheel. It was a pretty cool experience, too. It is in the ghetto (8 Mile & Wyoming) but if you don't mind that its a definite gold mine. All the people are super friendly and helpful - and trilingual. They've got a whole yard plus a couple warehouses of scrapped cars and salvaged parts, so you can find pretty much anything you need at a good price. Now that I know where this is, and am familiar with how it works, I will definitely go here whenever I need anything in the future.

The guy who helped me today was a racist! He didn't want to honor my warranty on my battery. He…read morethought I was lying about having a receipt which I did. He tried to tell me I was past my 18 month warranty when in fact I still had 29 days left on it. Then he had to test the battery just to make sure it was dead. Dude, why would I bring the battery here if it still had juice in it? Then I tried to ask about any additional warranties for the new battery and his response to that was abrasive and rude. Never gave me eye contact and when I said Thank you and I hope you have a nice day the asshole didn't even say anything back. But the gentlemen in front of me he helped prior he was polite as hell too. FYI I am a African American man and these are Caucasians who treated me this way at this location.

There are two kinds of auto parts stores. The first and more prevalent is the national chain store…read moreinside an instafab building staffed with indifferent employees trained to look up parts in the computer and deliver them from the back room. They do not have scarred knuckles or dirty finger nails and they most certainly do not know the difference between a limited slip differential and a Knutson valve. These places are endlessly frustrating for customers who know what they're doing. Then there are the other kinds of auto parts stores. The rare business run by competent professionals who have seen everything, turned many a wrench in anger and know exactly how to fix the rotted kickdown mechanism on your beaten-up clunkbucket. This is Hastings. Walking in, the store is large and open with a the right mix of tools, fluids, consumables and floor stock to get easier jobs done, no barrage of frou-frou garbage to shine your car tires, no tweety-bird floor mats, no bullet-hole decals. As you walk to the prominent service counter you notice a comforting odor of WD40 and engine oil, think of it as a sign. These guys get straight to the point, provide insight and help on questions you have, often everything you need in stock by a quality brand and at competitive pricing. What sends this place over the top is in the back though. There you'll find one of the most competent and speedy machine shops you'll ever have need of. Swap out some bushings? Ten minutes. New wheel bearings pressed in? Overnight. The machine shop alone is reason enough to frequent Hastings.

Where this place loses the other 2 stars at is the clientele. Yes, I realize that includes me but bear with me here. Oh my God, where do I start? I had to visit this store about three times this past weekend and each and every time, there was an absolute moron in front of me. If it wasn't the guy loudly dropping the f-bomb while "speaking" on his Nextel phone, it was the two young dudes trying to hit on the girl behind the counter (guys, she is being paid to be nice to you. Keep that in mind) or the other old dude yelling at his daughter(?) and the poor guy behind the counter because they came totally unprepared with what fluid type they needed. Yes, the counter boy should absolutely know what kind of transmission fluid you need you dope. /eyeroll So, weigh the benefits of a good, well-stocked store with decent help vs. horrible customers who will most assuredly make your trip 10 minutes longer than it should be.
