Got a E-mail from GRP the other day about a 20% sale going on. As usual I didn't really pay attention to it but came up on their website and ordered some parts I need for my car.

Well after I ordered the parts on-line i read the flyer and learned that their sale doesn't start until tomorrow (Feb 18)
I gave them a call and told them what I had done (parts order) and ask if the discount would still apply. They were not sure if the transaction had already cleared so Ben said he would check and call back.

Dave called me back after a few took care of the deal and any thing I needed. My service was prompt and professional. I felt like i wasn't just a number!

Dave, if your listening! I will be doing alot more business with you in the future.

Thanks for the GREAT customer service and what a great guy!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

In 20 years of buying parts I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with GPR.

maybe once or twice there might be a tiny mistake (even on my part) and they will work it out EVERY SINGLE TIME!

you really can't go wrong with GPR.
I like Pelican too, but you still can not go wrong with Dave.... he is just a great guy.

(heck I used to buy other VW golf parts from him too because he could get them and was very fair about it)

:ditto:

I even had Dave personally call me one time on an order to inform me that the parts might not make it to me by the weekend and wanted to ensure that the delay wouldn't screw up my plans...

Just got off the phone with Dave. The call started by asking about the sale. After putting the phone down, I had spent $350+.

Agreed; Customer relations and service are top notch!!

I have bought parts from Dave since the 80's when he started out in Mid- Engine Mania. Never any problems.

I agree! Dave's a great guy to deal with. I drove out to CA from the Midwest a couple of years ago to get a 914 and stopped into his place.
I was impressed!!! He always returns my calls and gets me what I need!

Does anyone know if the sale extends beyond "in stock" parts, like AA?

Also, did not get the email and do not see any mention of the sale on their website. Is there a special code you are supposed to use?

Last year the 20% off sale was a big PITA. I hope it's easy to just buy online this year.
