I stopped by to pick up some BG 44K and the guy didn't give me a discount. False Advertising --- I Call B.S.

why did you stop in the week curtis was at the Deal's gap? I'd send him a PM Jeff.

Hey Ralph --- Barnum & Baily need clowns like you. I don't need to use any of the CSC sponsors to get my discounts and I won't in the future.

I have to admit, CarQuest has been "iffy" at best, when it comes to even knowing about our sponsorship, much less honoring it. :dunno:

Anymore, I'll just call ahead to 'em, to make sure the salesperson and I are on the same page, before I make the trip out.

Jeff needs a hug. Or at least a beer and reacharound. Not that I'm offering, just throwing that out there in case anyone else is so inclined. (I mean I can help with the beer thing, but that other part ... it's just not my bag!)

Any minute now, I'm expecting Quickdraw to come in here, and be all...

A few things......
1) I have nothing to do with CarQuest as far as deciding what they do, how they do it, when they do it, etc......I am not employeed by them or ever have been.
2) Yes we do a TON of business with them and I am involved with numerous things with them and communication with them.
3) The original discount and sponsorship started with Gramps (Tom) when he was the manager...since then he has moved to redneckville and still working for CQ. The sponsorship was still standing last I checked.
4) As far as not getting the discount.....if a guy sold you the stuff he is brand new and most likely did not know about CSC....its not something we talk about daily.
5) I will talk to Mary Lynn and Jen. Mary Lynn is the manager and is probably the nicest lady you could meet and will bend over backwards to help you find something or get it to the store. I will ensure she knows about CSC and the club sponsorship...and informs all employees on this.
6) As for calling BS on sponsorship......a little immature. I will verify the discount and post that up when I return home from Deals Gap.

I will also do another group purchase on BG44K if the need is there....I did this about 1.5 years ago and sold about 30 cans of the stuff. If there is a need let me know and I can post up price once i see how much is needed. CarQuest is a great place to get quality parts.......or hit up Napa as well.

Anyway......I will communicate with CQ on behalf of CSC......but if something doesn't go right and people have reacted to them at the store the way they did on here I would not expect them to want to be a sponsor anymore......have some understanding people....lots of staff changes over there recently.

As far as I'm aware the sponsorship is still in effect, and the employee you dealt with was new and unaware of it.

Don't assume for one minute that I reacted the same way I portrayed their ineptness to honor an advertised discount offer here on this Internet yak-yak venue. I paid my requested bill and left ---- not to return again. I'll get my 44K from Kentz and Leslie and remove the middle man completely.

Are you seriously this bent over a can of 44K?

Curtis said he'd deal with it. Spiderman offered an explanation. I'm really not sure what else you want here, since you're apparently never going back.

If you have such good (and apparently better) sources for your needs, why'd you even bother?

:dunno:

Then why bother getting on here and flame about CQ? If your not going back then don't go back.

Did you ask for a manager to verify the discount? Just had a hissy fit and left and came here to continue your hissy fit?

I didn't ask Curtis to become involved -- ever. he obviously personalized this (as I feel a lot of the responders are doing here because it's 'their' sponsor).

For the record -- I asked the guy to look it up and rather than say something to the effect that he couldn't find it he just slapped a bill for the full amount down on the counter. I dealt with that.

And as for Ralph's comment ---- the reason that I stopped in to the Laffalot CQ is K&L is closed on the weekend and I thought that I would support a sponsor of the CSC. Nothing more than a mistake to chalk up as a 'bad shop experience'.

why did you stop in the week curtis was at the Deal's gap? I'd send him a PM Jeff.



he just slapped a bill for the full amount down on the counter. I dealt with that.That was your decision. I would have dealt with it differently. :|
