Re: PWB+ New Today

What a freakin nightmare...ever since the most recent "change"...nothing working right.

Also...they disabled ability to upgrade to CSO directly from PWB...annoying!!!

Re: Ask for the last eight, get the last four

I always try to tell them what the last eight begins with. Luckily, it helps. I'm just glad most callers even know what a VIN is, these days.

Exactly what I do...sad that I know this...but it helps.

"OK last 8, it's a 2014 Silverado so it probably starts with EZ followed by 6 numbers".

Or my ...

Re: D2D link during the strike.

WE ARE PARTS WHORES HERE. The only thing I am saving is the parts I had to Sprint in. Everything else must go.

Ugh...we have a "left hand doesn't talk to the right hand" scenario going on here.

We have a parts employee whos job is to do all the backend paperwork / receiving / match up invoices ...

24256861 Backorder

What is up with these TCMs?

I’ve been doing this many years, and we get lots of emails/texts/calls for backordered parts all the time, but I’ve probably taken 100-150 inquires this week alone for these darn TCM’s

What’s stock like with US dealers? Canadian dealers is nothing.

Works Workbench Plus

Any of you guys try it out yet? GM has pushed it on us hard. So far it's not bad...less tedious than the regular PWB.

Re: FUEL SURCHARGES

Seems like it'll go one of two ways...your wholesale customers will understand and likely pass it onto their customer or you'll have some grumbles. Not sure it's worth the risk losing some customers over a $5-$10 charge. I know in our shop...we try and be diligent in how we sent drivers out. We won ...

Re: Global Disconnect

Cannot put a part on a SPAC case, two days now, system is down. No point in calling and sitting on hold for an hour. Had an answerback this morning that read STOCK IS COMING, in other words, leave us alone and quit calling.

So it's not just me...I have tried upgrading multiple parts to SPAC and ...

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.

Re: sprints

As a Canadian dealer, we appreciate all the US dealers who send stuff our way!!!! Wish we could reciprocate but we can't see / accept US SPAC cases.

The new direct express or express direct or whatever it's called seems to have been rolled out without telling anyone. Nearly everyone I talk to at ...

Re: GM Trailering Label - P/N 85532775

Gosh I wish I comprehend who/how they decide to price things. $130 label...probably costs a quarter to make.
