So GPR will essentially be dealing with the poor service of AA, so the customer doesn’t have to directly, while gaining access to AA’s parts.
But! Unless GPR takes control of AA’s operations and inventory, what guarantees would a used parts buyer have that parts bought from GPR (but sourced and shipped from AA) will be delivered on time and in the condition described? That is if anything is delivered at all; given AA’s poor track record is an indication.
I don’t think anyone is bashing GPR, but they may perhaps be feeling that GPR’s service will be greatly deluded when joined with AA. Great service coupled with poor service will likely result in mediocre service.
There is more behind the scenes I’m sure, and the above must have been thought of and discussed between GPR and AA, yet we parts buyers are interested to know if we will see a larger “poor” parts dealer or will we be losing a good one?.
We spend an aweful lot of money on new and used parts, and it's justified that we have some interest in the market...it WILL affect us.
