Hi Guys i just bought some shocks to hold the decklid up on my 964 turbo from auto atlanta, first i stood there for 30 minutes before anyone bothered to acknowledge my existence. Second the guy gave me the shocks for my turbo, i went home and they barely hold my decklid up, it takes like a touch of my finger to bring it down. Now this is a real pain in the *** job swapping those things out. I called and they said that they would swap them out that i was supposed to have heavy duty ones for turbo's well i dont know why he didnt give me those to begin with but mistakes happen.
If these heavy duty shocks cost more should i be angry if they charge me extra because i have a feeling they will try to charge me. I feel that after all the trouble of having to replace them twice and drive up there twice they should swap them no charge.
I have never dealt with these guys before do they have a good reputation, Frankly their prices are no better than Jim Ellis porsche and his prices are wayyyyyy high.

Lesson learned. Stay away from Auto Atlanta. I can't believe they are still in business after all the bad stories I hear from them.

Yea Racer the question was if you had read........."I have never dealt with these guys before do they have a good reputation?"
Anyhow they swapped my shocks out and apoligized for the inconvenience and did not charge me extra so i thought that was pretty decent of them. But i wanted to order a front rubber smile and they wanted $195.00 bought it from sunset for $121.00, i dont know how sunset does it but all the stuff i bought from them is so cheap its scary. The only catch is it takes a while to get here.

AA sucks. The following all happened before I learned there were other parts sources available:
They charged me for stuff I never ordered. Charged me for stuff someone else ordered as a present for me which they paid for when they ordered it, sent me the wrong part more than once and made me pay return shipping, and sold me a set of calipers that they modified with a die grinder after telling me they were milled to exact standards. These calipers could have easily failed, resulting in an accident, possibly killing me. They were offended when I returned them and they deducted the PCA discount I had on the whole order when they refunded my money. Hell no, I wouldn't buy damn thing from them if they were the only parts store available. I'd leave my car to rot in the rain first.

Sorry I missed the original question, Boeing. I tend to look for the " ? " when I am told there is a question. You hid it the first time disguising it as a statement. Kudos to you good man.

Unfortunately, we occasionally have to find NLA parts...
If you have a problem with AA, get to George...he can get 'er done! Yeah, you shouldn't have to go to the top, but sometimes you have to...

1986951,
Actually, George is the one I wouldn't go to with a problem. Long story, and I don't want to slam another company any more. Sorry if I have already done that.
