I have ordered small items from AA in the past without any issues and I understand there prices can be high compared to other vendors. But compared to Rich at High Performance House, AA is a deal when it comes to after market 914 parts.

As for the lens I will put my hat in the ring for a free set of Euros if I win I will put one side on and look for a difference. Don't get that people are complaining about free but I do agree a exchange for ill fitting lens would be nice.

And Catherine keep up the good work, learning a trade no matter the industry beats standing in the welfare line...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

[PanelBilly]

I could use a set

[stevegm]

I'm in. Steve Martin. I could use a set. And they look pretty good. It seems like a good way to build social media currency.

[rhodyguy]

No thank you.

How is it there's no mention of this swell offer at club?

[bowzer]

I wonder if they would let me return the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) s that I bought in the last group buy for the new and improved version... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Catherine. . this would be the path of a stand up seller. . Offering an exchange program, at no cost, would go along way in customer relations. . not trying to buy votes. .

watch the shipping be $85.00 like when i bought some chrome wheel rings and they charged me that amount,tried to argue it with them,no luck.never again

[rhodyguy]

Another happy customer.

[Catherine at AutoAtlanta]

Exchange Program- excellent idea, but that's too easy.

My OT experience with this company. 26 years ago I called on a 916 trans part. Never got a good answer, so I asked the sales person if they can send me a catalog. He mentioned, it will cost you x dollars. That was the last time I called and attempted to do business with them.
Just my .02

[rhodyguy]

Then you wind up with a gazillion FB updates/status changes in your inbox. Daily. No thank you.

There are more young people and women working at Auto Atlanta in the past year than ever, many of them had not experienced the wrath of the bitter portion of the members of this club before. This forum and community is world famous for it and now we see why. Of course there are many exceptions. We want to be a part of this forum and hope to be treated with respect and be assured we will treat you respectfully. Let the past be the past, let us make it better, at least let us try. For those of you in kind spirits, Thank you!


ConeDodger No, real people who come to work at Auto Atlanta every day and try to do better.


Mike Bellis they do not fit as well as the Hella lenses because they are not the Hella lenses.Sorry to have disappointed!

Vitriolic wrath doesn't come cheaply. It's earned. It's not as if a lack of personal experiences is a factor. You were thrown to the wolves. Sorry if you were offended by the collective responses.

As a service business owner, I'm very, very concerned with how I treat my customers and fully believe that people who provide poor service deserve whatever they get. But I wanted to provide a few observations...

1) I've been a member of the World for less than a year. In that time, I haven't personally come across many (any) posts that provide specific examples of bad experiences with AA. But I've read lots of posts alluding to never buying from AA. That's not to say that there hasn't been a problem in the past year...just that the anti-AA sentiment seems (as a relative newcomer) to be based on the fairly distant past. Personally, I prefer to order from Mark @ 914rubber...but I have ordered from AA without trouble. And I find myself frequently referencing the exploded parts diagrams on their site.

2) We are a passionate, yet small community. We need each other...and we need parts to keep our addictions...er...cars...on the road. I have a 65 mustang and there are dozens of suppliers who sell parts for the huge numbers of them still out there. If one goes out of business, no biggie. The 914 universe is much, much smaller. Encouraging people to boycott AA might eventually cause them to close, which could be bad for us in the end.

3) Let's be constructive. Maybe being persona non grata has opened George's eyes a bit. I suggest we use this forum to specifically list the issues we have with AA and then let Catherine respond as to how those issues will be addressed. It couldn't hurt.

Catherine...one thing. This community is super sharp. The FB "like" thing might work for millennials who don't value their privacy, but I'm pretty sure most people on this site were alive when men (supposedly) landed on the moon and we can see right through clickbait. Given the reputation of AA here, I think a better contest would be to award the person with the most constructive suggestions for improving AA's service with the free lenses. Just sayin...

Sincerely,

Rodney King

cuddyk - Thank you so much for the constructive and concise review. As a fellow small business , we truly appreciate the magnitude of what you are trying to send across. We do not plan to spam any of you, we want you to hopefully stay up to date on items we get in stock, promotions, contests, events etc and we want your feedback. You could always unsubscribe if what we post truly does not speak to you directly. All we ask is that you give us a chance.


I love the suggestion -sometime soon we shall openi up a discussion on here about what our fellow 914 community members would truly like to see and what their past experiences have been specifically.

Stay tuned, this is only the beginning!

Every year George throws in another newbie promising to bring peace and love to the 914world from AA.

You know, I used to think AA was a valuable asset to the 914 community. Now I know Mark at 914rubber and a couple other great vendors could completely fill AA's niche in about 2 months, be 10x more successful and provide 100x better customer service. In fact, they all ready are. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

So no, I'm not going to play AA's game and "like" them on the internet, so people will mistakenly think they have better feedback than they really do, just for the chance to win their reproduction products that might be better made than the last time they disappointed buyers when they tried to reproduce the part.

[Catherine at AutoAtlanta]

You have a choice of whether or not to participate in the contest. George throws none on here, if one of our staff members felt like introducing themselves on here in the past that was their personal choice.
