Bolting To An Answer

I work at an auto shop. A customer wanders in and asks:

Customer: “I need a transmission pan cover.”

Me: “Okay, sir, I need the year, make, model, and engine size, please.”

He tells me.

Me: “Thank you. It appears there are two different transmissions made for that vehicle that year. Does your transmission pan cover have fourteen or seventeen bolts?”

Customer: “Which one is cheaper?”

Me: “Well, the one with fewer bolts is cheaper, but it may not fit your vehicle. I would need to know how many bolts it has to sell you the proper one.”

Customer: “Hmm… well, which one do you recommend?”

Me: “I recommend you go outside and count how many bolts there then come back in and tell me so I can get you the right part…”

Customer: “…Alright.”

The guy actually went and counted and got the right part! He was super nice…  just probably should not have been fixing his own vehicle.
