Nope. Close, but no. CB has incredible winds during the winter.

I've been purchasing from AutoAtlanta for many years. All problems have always been rectified immediately. George Hussey has always been very helpful and accommodating over the phone with patience and sound advice. At one time he spent a few minutes advising my mechanic in Las Vegas on a puzzling repair. Mistakes happen. As mentioned previously, the true test of a business is how it handles its mistakes. AutoAtlanta has made a few mistakes with my orders, but has always rectified them without a blink. I have only good things to say about this solid business.

unfortunately for hundreds and hundreds of 914 owners, we have had a MUCH different experience.

wrong parts
double charging
rip off shipping
no returns
and no customer service

so you sir are a lucky guy and should go buy a lotto ticket

Threads of this nature give the consumer BOTH sides of the story. That one side seems weighted that's just the way it is. People don't sit around making up negative stories. No reason for it. In the 80s-early 90's automotion and ** catalogs were king.

Owned my 914 for two years now. Had about 10 orders for parts from AA - no problems. Had them replace my clutch and RMS two months ago - decent price and no problems.

Two new users, resurrecting an old dead thread about AA, just so they can say wonderful things about AA. Sounds like George just hired someone new to handle internet and social media, and they are trying to do online reputation repair on their first day.
Good Luck With That.

You forgot back orders (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

For Canadian peeps back ordering gets super expensive PDQ, had a friend that got 4 shipments for one AA order sent UPS
$60 brokerage each time and to add insult it was the same full invoice, so they collected full tax every time. Took him 9 months and countless hours to get the taxes sorted and his money back.

People with 1 post, despite anything else - I consider them to lack credibility. When you are new to a site, you might want to keep your opinions to a minimum. The fact that so many long-time World members have had the exact opposite experience(s) should inform the new person they may not have all of the facts yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Haven't had to order anything for quite a few years, but I had good experiences back in the day. I think that folks have varying expectations on used parts, and George Hussey has been around long enough to know what the right or wrong parts are.

Like other businesses, mistakes do happen but how they're handled makes the difference between good and bad.

That precisely describes why AA *SHOULD* have the best rep in the industry.

AA has done right by me. Owned a 914 for two years now. 10 Orders from AA and the quality and accuracy were there. Also had a clutch and RMS replaced. High quality of work at a reasonable price.

I think Bell Metric can get what you need, or a dealer

I find it amusing that someone thinks counterposting will help with what the potential customers think instead of focusing on solving the root issue.... but that again...that would be admitting theres a problem in the first place.
