Please allow me to rant, support your vendors!

[DriverzInc]

I've talked to many of the supporting vendors on this site over the past two years. Gotten to know them very well, and I'm even a dealer for many of them, and many of them are dealers for our wheels. In light of the recent events such as ATS closing doors, I just wanted to remind everyone to continue supporting the vendors that you depend on for good customer service and technical information day in and day out here on the forums.

I've recently been tracking some of the phone conversations and email conversations I've had recently with our customers and what I'm finding out is very discouraging. Over half of the people that I've worked with extensively over the past two months have taken our conversations regarding backspace and tire information and bought wheels from alternative sources. I'm having a huge problem swallowing this as I put in a ton of effort in figuring out what fit those customers specific applications, and when it came right down to it, they bought a similar product or in some cases the same product from another company, after using us for free tech help just to save a few small dollars. Now, I'm a fair guy, but if that situation continues to occur, Driverz, Inc., and other companies that go the extra mile, won't be around any longer to help you guys.

All I'm saying is, think about who you spend your money with. Choose who is administering the best customer service, and the best overall service to you, the end user, and continue to support those vendors with your loyal patronage. Otherwise, the guys like us who do really care about you, and your individual needs won't be around in the future to help you, or others like you.

Thanks again to all our loyal customers, whom over the years have continued to come back to us for your parts. It is because of you that we can continue to keep our doors open to help others. And it is because of you that our dream of doing what we love for a living is a reality.
