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)

r_towle, Believe me you're preaching to the choir on that one and I hope you don't just feel this is a short show we're putting on for those in the forum. We really are trying to revamp our customer service. I'm working on a number of projects to help with customer satisfaction and I'm really excited about the future of AA. I can understand those of you who will proceed with caution but maybe keep one eye on the company, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results. Change takes time and some of you may never come back to AA, but I hope soon some of you that were upset will look back at it as a 'funny' time for AA and nothing more. I don't expect it to be easy, but I expect it will be done.

As for George, I can honestly say he is one of the most intersting people I've ever met. His blunt honesty is really refreshing and I'm not just saying that because he signs my paycheck. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Some people can find him difficult to deal with because he will speak his mind without second thought, that's how he has always been. But for those who don't want to deal with BS it's good to know he'll tell you exactly how it is.

Sure, sometimes he mistakenly says he has something in stock, and I can be accused of the same thing. We usually stay so busy that we've had people walk in the door and clear off a shelf for a restoration at the same time the parts are being sold over the phone or on the internet. While inventory updates are almost instant, this slight overlap means that sometimes a part is placed on backorder after the order was placed. It's especially true for the more popular parts. I guess that can be seen as the down side of selling over the counter along with mail order.
