We have a local independent parts store, Parks, and I've used their lifetime replacement option on a starter and an alternator.
The first "lifetime" starter I took in, they did not have a record and I did not have the receipt, but the starter still had the part number sticker / manufacturer which indicated it was a lifetime part. However, I am a frequent enough customer that I have an account, so they made a little fuss and then issued a new receipt. Now I scan in each receipt and also put the original in a file for each car. ------------- Max Charleston SC On Sun, Jun 16, 2019 at 4:38 PM G Mann via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I ask a parts manager one time "Just exactly what IS a lifetime replacement > ?" > > His reply has stayed with me, its classic "If you ever bring the son of a > bitch back, I'll kill you"..... > > > On Sun, Jun 16, 2019 at 12:30 PM MG via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > > Just sayin what they told me.
