    Our local Peterbilt parts counter guy is exceptional. But... he just retired. The other guys are either very new (understandable) or just don’t give a ####. Anyone have a guy who really knows his stuff? Name and location would be spectacular. Thanks in advance.

    I use peterbilt in Sioux City Iowa for anything OEM I may need. Probably depends a little on what vintage peterbilt you are working on. I run a 379. Most of the counter guys are decent.

    Hunter Pete in Lancaster. The ‘ol boy there was able to look up a lot of info and tell me a lot about my ‘79 back when i bought it. Don’t remember his name or know if he’s still there tho

    I second hunter peterbilt. i dont live that close to it but i call them with my vin and get part numbers and order the stuff cheaper on line. They are very nice people in there at parts and go above and beyond. Figures i have a pete dealer within 10 miles of me but they hate their job and are rude the minute they pick up the phone and say "parts".

    At least they answer the phone! Peterbilt San Antonio is such a horrible dealership. It’s shame really.

    Yeah they all probably standing there too. i have seen that happen. I was at peterbilt closest to me picking up some things and watched how a guy picked up the phone and immediately got nasty with a customer on the phone becuase he had to repeaat himself. I was like this is complete bs how this seems to be the theme at alot of dealers. If you hate your job so much, get off your ### and find something that moves you

    Getting off of their ### is their main problem. I use hunters eau clair pa. The parts dept good and they ...99.9 % of the time have what i need. They deliver to my house if i can wait until afternoon, or the next day. I live 55 miles from the them.
     
    Tug Toy and Cam Roberts Thank this.
