Saying farewell

It is time to announce my farewell from full-time dealership life. I've had a good run of almost 15 years at the dealership level, but I'm saying goodbye.

I have accepted an offer to go work for the US Post Office. I couldn't pass up the benefits and increase in pay over my base pay as a parts ...

Re: Bolt EV Charger P/N 85163382

Re: Your method for grabbing D2D Express orders

My phone gets poor reception in the building here. I check OEC every so often, and sell what I can.

Question...... has anyone sprinted on this D2D express thing to Canada dealers?

I've always refused to ship to Canada because of how much of a pain in the ass the customs paperwork has been. I did ...

Re: Global Disconnect

Is it just me or the rest of you have to login to GLOBAL a hundred times a day.. It logs me off while I'm in it, seems like it's getting worse.

I was told it was because the GM servers couldn't handle that many log-ins, all day. So it boots inactive users out after 10-15 monutes.


I didn't ...

Re: Oil Allocation

I've been buying the oil in quart bottles from my local ADI like C8RFAN mentioned, and just ate the cost difference. Pissed management off something awful, but I can't let the oil tanks run dry.

I'm trying to line up an alternate supplier, but it hasn't gone as smoothly as I had hoped.

Re: GM NEW ECOMMERCE LAUNCH

I haven't heard official word as to whether we are enrolling or not.

I've expressed my opinion of it to management, but I don't think it will get me anywhere.
