I got a new e-mail flyer from them and they have seriously dropped some prices from what I remember. Their "greatest rubber kit" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) is now 499.50 wasn't it previously like 600.00 or more? 19 pice clutch kit is 385.00 used to be a clutch pressure plate and throwout bearing were that much. Steel rockers for 300.00 ALMOST seems reasonable. Note I in now way encourage buying from them at this point but is the BIG CHANGE as they put it going to be werthwhile?? Have they finally woken up and will straighten that place out??I havn't bought from them in a couple of years so my brain may be misfiring..........
Probably not (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) FLAME ON |

But doesn't low priced crappy fitting rubber make up fopr the whole Hum-ass ting? It's the Ying Yang thing you know balance. Something horrible is balanced with something mediocre.

No. Horridity can only be offset by either drinking something nasty (right behind it) or hydro-flossing your mind.

they weren't getting any orders, and you can't make interest on undelivered goods if no body has sent in any money. Gearge is a businessman. Ain't he clever?

You know...I'm also starting to see a lot of "No Longer Available" on the PP site...maybe we just ain't buyin' enought stuff for it to make sense to keep the stuff in inventory anymore ?????

NLA mean No Longer Available, as in it isn't produced by anyone anywhere. Not we just don't order it anymore. |

After being in S. CA at WCC last year and meeting many of you,I personally felt that some complaints were petty at best. But many of you had real complaints that for the most part we should have handled differently.For that I am sorry,but the fact of the matter is that a group of us at AA are working very hard to change some of the policies that have made you feel the way you do.
One big change that for the most part you are already aware of was the removal of our V.P. That was a tough move but the positive impact is already being felt throughout the company. Now I hope those of you who have never ordered from us because of the things you may have heard will be willing to give us a shot and that invitation stands for our old customers as well.

The bottom line is that anyone from the club who may have a !new! complaint or general problem with the way an order is being handled is welcome to speak with me one on one. You may find that our general attitude has changed a bit.Just ask to speak with Sean and I'll do what I can. That is the best I have to offer. It is not easy to be all things to all people.

914Jr. It seems hard for me to believe that the VP of any company would have that much effect on company policies, which are normally set by the owner/president. Would you mind giving us club members a little insight on your experience/background in the auotmotive parts industry? How long have you been involved with AA and in what capacities? |

Come on guys, lighten up and give AA a change of attitude. I looked at their recent advertisements & impressed with AA. We need them more than ever. 914 parts are getting scarce and Geo. has supplied more repo parts than anyone else. Think about it. Geo @ AA is the most successful 914 business (except Jake) parts supplier ever and still in business. He has the largest car collection of 914's than anyone I know. George gets good press throughout the 914 world in many magazine articles. Say what you want, but we need AA.
Tom BTW Please don't flame me for saying this. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) My experience with AA has been good. Have you noticed he's into all Porsche models (smart business man). |

914jr,
I have spoken with George directly and he treated me horribly. It was to the point that I was dumbfounded that the guy had the nerve to act the way was acting. He point blank accused me of lying and went so far as to call me belligerant. Not once did he offer an apology for completely lying about the availabilty of a part. The guy doesn't value his customers at all and doesn't mind being a pompous ass while dealing with them. Please explain how your VP leaving is going to fix that? |
