Is AA hurting?? Options

[scotty b]

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

I live in Atlanta and have used AA among others in the past. George is a really neat guy to talk to if you stop by AA on a satruday afternoon and he is hanging around. He always wants to see the car and help find things that are either missing or not working right. I know some of you had problems with him, but so far, so good for me.

That said, the VP that is no longer listed on their website is another story... That guy was absolutely everything and then some of what I have seen reported. Anyone having a bad feeling about AA because of him, I'm with you 100%. Good riddens! Keep in mind he's the one behind www.gtautoperformance.com.

I don't think I've met Sean or Jason yet, but I've been by AA and dealt with Thomas on several ocasions. He is always very helpful and good to deal with.

Now, I have not bought anything from AA since middle of last year due their ex-VP, but I think it is worth the benefit of doubt to try them again if they say they will improve things, even if just a small order to see the response. If we still get bad service, well then shame on them and we can go buy elsewhere and hope PP or GPR gets access to their coveted inventory.

Don't flame me, but it has sucked having such a great resource of parts just down the road and not buying from them on principle...

A sugestion for AA: To prove your doing better and want customers back, how about an exclusive promotional code posted to the forum (only for club members) good for a % off your next order to encourage some of the naysayers to give you a try (and reward repeat customers)? If your really going to be better, you should have nothing to lose as a positive experience will certainly result in repeat business.
