I get ya, but Sometimes you gotta bite the bullet, suck it up, put your ego aside and give in.....granted the principal of the matter. Especially if you can’t find the item elsewhere and your not talking about thousands or even hundreds $$$. I would still use them but solely for parts you can’t find elsewhere.

 

Nothing to do with ego. I even tried to buy from them at the Auto Fair in Charlotte after this happened. I asked about a few parts. Mainly seeing what was in stock there at the show. Lady throws me a catalog and a notebook, & says "that's what we have". So I made a list, complete with part numbers, & handed it to her. Than asked for price & availability. She then slides me a calculator & said you can figure your total with this. I asked if the parts were in stock. She says she'd have to look; She never even turned around. I am the only customer in the booth & she doesn't have time to deal with me. I'M DONE. I am always polite with anyone who has to work with the public. So I gave her catalog & calculator back and told her to have a good day & left.

It is basic customer service principals. I was going for a second chance with no shipping to worry about. They still cant get it right.

I buy everything from Classic Muscle now. They know their stuff & ship to my friends shop for free.

As far as money goes... If you don't watch it, you'll wind up like half of the classic cars on the road, that will not bring half of what's been invested. That's not good practice either (as far as I'm concerned).
