New Vid - Autozone Guy Tests My "alternator" For Me :)


Recommended Posts

not sure if you guys caught this or not, but watch the vid again and watch for him to hook anything up after he hooks up the battery leads, the amp probe never leaves the machine. kinda hard to see what they are putting out w/o a probe to take a damn reading lol

This is classic. Next thing ya know you'll be pullin up to a stereo shop asking for advice on your system. I can just picture it...

Meade: Yeah, can someone take a look at my system? It doesn't sound right.

Stereo guy: Sure turn it up.

Tahoe: BOOOMMMM!!!!!

Stereo Guy: Posted Image.................... :blink: I think you need a cap. Edited by Bigpimpin91

Poor lil noob/Redshirt.

(If you ever go to an autozone look for someone in a GREY shirt..they are management...no garauntee they are not dumb as shit either..thats case by case as with anyone in life, but at least try to start at the top)

Thats hella funny, because thats the Autozone I go to, hella close to me, and that black dude, dont know his name, but he is cool as hell, gives me a pound everytime I go in there- But true, the turnover rate at THIS autozone is incredibleI thought when they were looking at the meter, you would just let it slammmmm

That's A HUGE problem at 99% of stores like this (Kragen/Pep Boys/AutoZone..and I'd assume Checker/Advance/etc)...on top of the fact that they continually "dumb down" the system so dumber and dumber "kids" can get hired on as "cashier jockies" that really have no place in an autoparts store, as well as moving farther and farther away from any form of IN HOUSE training.

If you have a Stupid store manager...all your red shirts (base pay bottom-dwellers) will be "taught" some pretty bad habits, if they teach them anything at all.

is that the one chris works at? if so, someone needs to get some teaching going on in there.

No sir.

Trust me bro, I would NOT let this kind of thing happen at my shop. Period.

nahhh differrent hood., the one chris works at is ALLLLLLL the WAY crosssss town.lol

Correct..in more ways than one.

not sure if you guys caught this or not, but watch the vid again and watch for him to hook anything up after he hooks up the battery leads, the amp probe never leaves the machine. kinda hard to see what they are putting out w/o a probe to take a damn reading lol

Correct.

That machine Is designed to hook to the pos+ and neg- terminal posts AND have the AMP PROBE/CLAMP on the power wire coming off the battery.

It will read rpm, Voltage, Regulator Voltage, amp flow/draw be it positive or negative, and tell you if any DIODEs are faulty (diode pattern good/bad...but gives no cause)

The Bald black guy should have noticed the not hooked up amp clamp, as well as done a visual of the "too many gawd damn alternators" before he ever even tried the test.

You mean to tell me that the guy that was hooking up the machine didn't even notice that there's more than one alternator under the hood. You have got to be kidding. If that was me, that would have been the first thing I would have noticed. I would have thought twice before hooking up that machine to do an alternator test. Holy shit, that guy needs some new glasses.
