I have just had correspondence with George, He is prepared to compensate for the card charges, By doing a cracker deal on some small parts I require. I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. I will post an outcome. I think this will be a good test of Auto Atlanta's customer relations. Lets wait and see and hold the comments until we see what happens to be fair.

I've been dealing with AA since the mid-90's. I have had nothing but positive dealings with them for over 20 years, both in person and by mail, and I have no problems recommending them. Stuff will happen, and it did with me, and it was promptly and properly handled. As long as humans are involved, mistakes will happen. Some of you may find George a bit of a challenge to deal with, but the man knows the car better than anyone I know, and now that I close to Atlanta, [4 hours vs 11 hours], I will continue to use them.

It seems that people who go in person tend to get better results than those who rely on the mail. And there are certainly those who have never had a problem, or have had problems fixed when they occur.

But there are way too many people who have had serious problems to ignore.

And guess who is reading this thread?

Hiya, George! Is that you posting as RMGaiss? Or maybe Lionel posting? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I needed an oil line for my 6. I talked to George and told him that I had been waiting for one for over six months from another supplier. He took one from the set of three, matched the supplier's price and mailed it right out. No problems here.

George is George,
I think what Dave is objecting to is the appearance of a shill posting on a long dead thread.

Isn't it about time for George to send a newbie to World and talk about better creating a better relationship, apologizing for the past, offer a discount, blah blah blah.

I've done business with George and Auto Atlanta over the past two years and have found him and his team to be professional, courteous and extremely helpful.

George has responded personally to every email that I've sent him directly and has always been straight forward with me.

I've read posts about bad service in the past but, I have yet to experience it. Perhaps they have already turned over a new leaf.

As far as part pricing goes, they are competitive with most others. Sometimes they are more expensive but, convenience makes up for the cost difference in those instances.

Maybe my experiences are unique but, I'm going to continue to use them as needed.

Ok. I will chime in too...I live in Atlanta and have very casually known George for some time now. I have heard of the poor experiences (a few in particular quite bad); mostly misrepresentation claims - associated with AA (its been a long time now). I will say George has always been a gentleman to me and has treated me fairly. Really. I can not speak to the reasons why my experiences differ from so many others (I have my theories) but the reality is I have been treated well. George is knowledgeable, george is quite the personality, george is more than a little full of himself. Undeniably, George has done well in the 914 parts business...and he know's it. Who else would call himself - Dr. 914 (and in the manner in which he does it!)?

As I need his services; he is close to 20 miles away and I do not hesitate in using his services; I have been given no reason (directly) not to. FWIW. Peace.

PS: I am not a newbie and certainly nobody's pawn - just my honest personal experience over time.

All their orders should come with a jar of vaseline!

Yes, I have a friend who is a long time Porsche enthusiast, is a personal friend of George's, and speaks highly of him. My friend is surprised with the bad press. Friends and everyday customers get different treatment apparently.

I typically ignore vendor hate threads, but given my experiences including being accused of lying about an order that was missing a few dollar item sent me over the edge with these guys.
