"Hello Bweavy it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums? "
In 8 years I have never recieved this comment. Some of you who know me pretty well know I have had some health issues.Bruce I appreciate the card I recieved today.
I had a heart attack 2 days after I turned 39 in Pa. Thought I was dead that night. Decided to move to NC thinking this would reduce my stress. Just over 2 weeks ago I had another. Pretty bad to the point I knew I had some major problems.
Those of you that have been around me or spoken with me know I'm pretty high strung. Well the first attack was a wake up call this last was a smack in the head.
I do understand that we have had some major problems the last few weeks in the business. I want to say now I'm sorry for that.
Hey you can't complain & bitch at me if I'm not around
According to the Doctor giving a car away at 1 of the busiest times of our business was not the best idea,go figure?
I have had a lot on my plate besides my health at this time which we all do & I don't plan on going into great details, but I've had to fight several fires at once.
Honestly I probably will not ever be like I used to working 16 hours a day 7 days a week etc..
Doesn't mean I owe Shane $20K,Gbp is folding,Brian was Shanghaied by the Chinese, etc... Guys not to point fingers but I have read and heard what has been said about us lately & maybe it is deserved (to a point at least): there has also been way too much stuff posted that is just plain crap.
The agitators know who they are, and I know who they are; so there is no need to name names here.That is just human nature espescially this time of year.
All I can say is I have been doing this for 8 years & I don't plan on going anywhere.We are constantlly developing new products for our cars.
We are in the middle of restructuring here a little bit,with some more changes down the road.Discruntled employees are just part of having a business.
To those that have moved on keep in mind you could quit or leave at anytime.
Posting slanderous remarks will just give us time to meet up again in court.
I can't look in my Kids eyes & spend more time on the business then I do with them.I look at my 9 year old Daughter (that is when I started the business) and it amazes me how fast the time has gone by, not to mention how much of that time I missed. Those of you fortunate to have families will understand that. As much as I love these cars and even enjoy this business, my family is my life,contrary to what you may have read.
I have moved Kevin from the shop to the office and he will slowly be taking over some of the day to day operations. I got back Friday after my health issues, took my Dr.'s advice & fired the stress!
I'm not even supposed to be at work now,Meaning this week, but there are lot of messes left behind by the former crew that we are making every attempt to clean up. We will get them handled, but it is going to take some time. If we don't return phone calls right away it doesn't mean you are forgotten or deliberately ignoring you, we are running as hard as we can. Mistakes and bad choices staffing-wise have been made: I'll be the first to admit that, but changes are being made and will continue to be made; just please bear with us. When building a Team like we had in PA. didn't happen over night.
What we will be doing in the near future is developing a network across the U.S. to have distributors located where most parts can be delivered in 1-2 days ground. In other words Having Peter Ricks in WA. state,Sod from Hye tech in CA.Phil Underwood in TX. Randy Alexander in MS,other vendors in FL,NY,PA etc..
If (for an example) our Texas outlet is out of stock, the next closest one will be able to fill the order with a minimal delay to the customer.Next day shipping at ground prices in the Continental U.S.
WHY??? This will alleviate the shipping cost and delivery time on the customer's end & the stress on our end. Price increases will not happen.
Efficency will increase. you'll be able to speak with another vendor & know you have us standing behind them.Any way that is our intentions.
I'm still going thru a pile of e-mails & calls please bear with us. I would rather have 5 qualified people on hand at our business then 15 of "I don't know".
As always if you have a problem try calling & getting resolution or just e-mail me direct Bweavy@aol.com, Kevin's e-mail badgas440@aim.com.
Between us there is over 30 years experience.
Thanks for everyone's continued support & understanding.
We plan on having alot of new products out this year. Shane Stolts & I are working on all aluminum Door escuthceons that will be released in 2 weeks.
HRparts & I are working on front & rear control arms,in other words good Quality but at a reasonable price affordable to the masses. There are alot of other items being released as well. We just got in new Stainless power steering brackets. I'll polish them so they will look like they came from China for you
We are planning on & have always had a goal of Home depot of Gbodies. You can buy a lower cost product for mild build ups to full all out top of the line products.
Posting like I used to will be minimal at best. I plan on working on the business instead of in the business. I guess that is just part of Growing. There are alot of things being worked on that has caused my stress. Nice thing is every day I get up I get to be around these cars all day. That & the customers keeps us motivated.
