I must have missed something........... What the hell is PACE! Besides another GM acronym..........

I think we all now know its another way for us to be robbed with a smile.

Okay,
How do you track the CSO order percentage? Daily? I know it is on the monthly statement But that it is a little late. I had rim non complacence before I don't want that again

Let me see if I have this right.
We were told when we signed up for RIM all parts would be protected.
We were told we had to buy all parts from GM and try not use other brand parts in our service dept and we did.
We were told to use GM oil and chemicals and we did.
We were told not to buy from AC Delco jobbers and we did.
We were told to sell body parts and send all body core parts back to GM and we did.
We did all of these and a lot more A LOT MORE.
BUT YOU TAKE AND TAKE AND TAKE MORE FROM US EVERYDAY !!!!
We were told years ago WE were customers of GM.
I would love to know how many years the people who have come up with these programs have worked in GM service and parts depts big and small.
When I started 45 years ago WE were respected by our parts reps for what we did and how we did it.
One more year and I'm done .
Good luck to the rest of you.

Has anyone been to a PACE meeting? We have one coming up soon and I'm sure there will be plenty of questions for them

Just had our Parts & Service meeting last week.
The PASE presentation was literally 15 mins. and nobody said anything because we have pretty much all accepted we are screwed and there is nothing we can do about it.
Plus, the guy that did the presentation and does the training for it is a nice guy and is just trying to do his job so we don't want to take it out on him personally.
I spoke with a few other PM's I know personally and we are all on the same page...Moral of the conversations: It's great you want us to grow our business but you can't sustain 12% growth forever...Also, one of the managers I spoke with is a wholesale dealer. I'll just say he's less than pleased they took away the volume discount

If anyone is receiving an insufficient purchases message on oil sales it'll be because GM bundles all chemicals by the total amount bought. Buying antifreeze , def fluid , paint, freon etc . from anyone other than GM will take away from the oil dollars.
We buy all oil from GM but we bought antifreeze and def from another source when we ran out and it ended up over time causing the insufficient purchases to show up in sales loyalty.

Not only do they bundle it, they bundle it by dollar amount not quantity purchased which is totally ridiculous!!!
