I understand that the original poster is in a bind and it is unfortunate that Bill's business practice leaves people to think he doesn't care. But, that is the way he has always operated, no excuses, no flunkies making promises they can't keep, etc.
My problem with George on this topic is that he could have simply said that a reminder to the cummunity, that he and Dave at GPR stock all replacement panels. Instead, he gets on his arrogant soapbox to question whether people should buy from RD and to boast how he designed the panels for Bill. Please is he now telling us in his free time he designed the 914 for Porsche. T.C. |

You really have no idea what happened between Bill and myself T.C, it was bad, and if you knew the whole story, even you, who hate us so much, would be embarrassed over posting such a "bold" statement! |

First, I am sincerely sorry for hijacking this thread, which was to help out Grelber ( I hope everything works out) and I did not intend to start a pissing match. I promise I will not post again to this thread. George, I do want to point out, however, that the word Hate is not a concept I subscribe to. Do I get angry, Yes; am I stubburn, Yes; Do I forget or forgive, not easily, BUT I do not hate.

Given the above I am compelled to stand up for George and AA. When RD left me in a bind, car in body shop and calls to RD went unanswered for more than two weeks - and I mean calling every day, a couple of times, I called AA and spoke with Greg Treadway - he had the parts, in stock, overnighted to the shop - same price and perfect repops - and they are on my car today - along with lots of other AA parts. I have purchased lots of stuff from AA, never had a problem. Sometimes they are pricey - but you get what you pay for. At least they delivered. This slamming of George and AA seems totally uncalled for. My 2 cents. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Hey, everyone...........read my last post on this thread. I was able to get hold of RD, and he apologized, saying he had been out sick. They have everything I need in stock, and it will be shipped out this week, and arrive in time for my rustoration.
Didn't want this to be a pissing match, just a question if anyone else was having trouble getting hold of RD. Oh, and BTW, in checking prices, the "other" guys wanted just over $600.00 for the same parts RD is selling me for $405.00. If RD hadn't had the parts, I would have gladly paid the additional $$ to get them (but didn't have to). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

QUOTE(Joe Owensby @ Mar 5 2007, 03:25 PM) I must have been lucky. Ordered parts two different times from Restoration Designs. Both times, I called and left a detailed message for parts, and received a call back in less than 1 day. Excellent response on delivery of parts, as well as excellent quality of parts. They were a pleasure to do business with for me. Sorry you have had problems. Joe O. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |

It's a community thing...... I just need to say this. who are you , and what have you done with Z?? Personal thought: Well I look at it this way....old George is trying to rehab his company's reputation. I don't think his rep was anything beyond surly, snotty employees and lost warehouses and back orders from hell. He DOES have the rep of being able to find parts that are NLA in most cases.....so until his company steps on their collective winky again, I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt. A company is only as good as the collective parts....minimum wage weaseldicks can trash yer rep faster'n Anna Nichole goes down on a Billionaire... I've sold more than 100 cars in 20 years....I'm being personally trashed on a car deal that had engine problems built by the previous owner. The builder was willing to stand behind the work. I provided all the information to the buyer....he chose to hold me responsible. I felt sorry for the guy and refunded his coast to coast shipping costs....he's still busting my balls...despite CA law that all used car sales are final and as-is. Another poster did inspect the car prior to sale and vouched for it. It left here in good running condition. One car deal and one ding on eBay due to bank error.....beyond the fact that I'm a bit of screwball...I'm honest. George is trying to project that image as well...I don't see anything that says different.... Admin thought: We don't allow pissing matches....period. We help posters, we don't pee all over the guy who's offering to help that poster. We are vendor neutral. We point people in the direction of vendors that have "stuff".... personal addendum..... Roy from Motor Meister WILL NOT get the same deal.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) |
