Keystone to start delivering auto glass?

Postby 3rdgenZ » Wed Mar 02, 2016 1:06 am

How do ya'll feel about Keystone delivering auto glass to your GM and CDJR dealerships? They announced yesterday that they're purchasing PGW (link below), so I assume that it won't be long until I see Keystone trucks at my parts dept and body shop. I personally don't like Keystone since I compete directly with them for business. What's everyone else thinking??? Is this a good thing or no? I lean to "no". Them managing the glass program just makes them stronger IMO.

i had a PGW truck show up today with a windshield that i ordered last week. no box, nothing.

"where the hell is the box?"

the driver says that they only box them if they're sent common carrier (truck freight)

as far as keystone, i don't really care. anything i buy for the body shop, i only buy keystone if i absolutely HAVE to.

Yes, we bought a windshield rack which helps with the parts not boxed. I'm interested to see what GM has to say with keystone delivering "OE" parts to our dealership. These guys are the "bottom feeders". Is this what it has come to? Why make the competition stronger? I fight this battle every day!

GM does sell the box separately if you want to pay $50.00 for a empty box.
