Default Testing

The tester they replaced our old one with requires year make and model. I hate it. The clamp system is so cheaply made and doesn't hold the starter very good. These machines being broke for months doesn't shock me, it takes a long time to get replacements for any equipment. Not knowing how to use it is no excuse! The screen gives you step by step instructions. They cannot test if the starter/alternator is from a boat/tractor/forklift!

The majority of parts store employees are minimum wage and have little car knowledge. Your best bet is to look for the "old guy" lol
