Brake repair service near Colonial Beach, VA

I visited this store in January of this year2015. I went in to pick up a alternator and purchase a thermostat for my truck. The man at the counter was just finishing up with a customer. As I stood in line waited for him to call the next customer in line. He just starred at me as to give me a look like I was there for him and he wasn't happy that I was there needing to make a purchase. I sure many of you have met this type before, you know, the person who just stares at you and doesn't bother to say hello or may I help you. So I told him I needed a thermostat and was picking up a alternator. He asked me for the year make and model of the truck, then he wanted the engine size. I told him and I told him the engine was a Cummins(diesel). I told him I didn't need a gasket, but he proceeded to be a know-it-all and said it it required. I have changed this before but wasn't sure so I took the gasket. His whole attitude was like he was God's gift to mechanics at the early age of 20-24.I took the parts and went to the cashier. No sooner than I got there he was walking by saying his good byes to the cashier. Well this would explain his demeanor and customer service attitude. I got home to install the thermostat and alternator just to find as I thought, I didn't need the gasket and the thermostat was the wrong one. The know-it-all turns out to be a fake. Oh and the new alternator was bad.
