East End Auto Salvage

The parts manager in this place is one of the biggest jerks I have ever dealt with in the automotive industry. I went in to buy a carburetor for parts. They found the carburetor for me, he refused to allow me to take the lid off the carburetor to see if it does in fact contain the parts I need to get my truck running. He flat out refused.
He originally told me the carburetor would be $ 50. Then when I asked to open it up and see if it has what I need, he told me the price would go down to $ 30, but I had to take it without opening it up. His excuse was (and I quote), «If you went to the store to buy some eggs, would they let you crack one open and see if it tastes good?» To which I replied, «Well, no, but I wouldn’t buy a carton filled with broken eggs either.»
He went on for about 5 more minutes arguing with me about it, so I left the carburetor there and let him know he won’t be getting my business. He literally just turned his back and walked off.
As a woman who knows her way around an engine, I often am greeted with less than friendly behavior from men in the automotive industry, but I have never, ever been so insulted and offended by a person or a business. My family has been buying parts from this place for YEARS now and have recommended countless people to there for help. I cannot believe how I was treated. It was rude and uncalled for.
