Parts Departments world wide

[Mike Nicholes]

Just a note to the parts managers who wonder if they are some kind of "factory target" for availability and ordering issues; you are not. I'm returning from Kiev, Prague and Odessa and folks... the problems are carbon copies of each other, world wide; only the language is different. The only consistent is that the mechanics are still hollering 'we ain't got the parts'; all the time. So rest well my friends, you are in common (good) company. They do have some obsolescence issues that are frankly, Frankenstienian!

LOL Mike !! GM explained this scenario in full detail just after the BK. If you are not a "mega-dealer" then you most certainly are a "target".
These morons have every intent (still) to drive the smaller and family owned dealers out of the market place. Extremely obvious in the vehicle
sales end of it. It has not changed since I left and it will not change in the near future. GM's Nazi morons (yes they did colude with them in the 30s
and 40s) will not stop until they think the have all of the corporate control they need to run your business, this and any other govt. they choose.
Interesting documentary on Netflix called "The Untold History of The US" and I think it is chapetr 11 that lays out their (and other corps) planned
scam in great detail. Worth the watch as you will find out who you are dealing with.
I'll leave the light on for ya !!!
