The counter guy asked to see my list, disappeared back in the warehouse area, and started bringing parts to the counter. Disappeared again, came back with more parts. Again.
Though Porsche made the 912E for only one year, they had everything on the list! Sure, lots of stuff cross-references to VW or 911 parts, but they took the time to locate everything.
I won't step into a Pep Boys. I will go out of my way if necessary to use Baxter.

That's just fine for you, but what about the other customers who had to wait, while this guy was pulling YOUR parts?
