Over the years as our business has grown, we have upgraded to larger facilities. Business has been great, so It's that time again. We have secured a building in the South Side of Fort Worth to be the new consolidated distribution center. At over 100,000 square feet, it is bigger than Dallas & Fort Worth warehouses combined. In addition, there are offices and meeting space in a separate building.

Last month we told you about a scam where a phone caller would request a large order of fuel pumps to be shipped out of state and paid for with a credit card. A to Z Auto Parts, Decatur Texas has received 2 such calls since then. The credit card checks good, because its a real card that has been stolen and not yet reported. The scammer is betting that you will ship the merchandise before the credit card IS reported stolen and the store is... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Rex Burkheimer) http://wmpartsplus.yuku.com/topic/476 Mon, 27 Sep 2004 15:58:43 GMT http://wmpartsplus.yuku.com/topic/477/t/Notepad-August-2004.html Barriers are dropping

You probably often have to quote parts for a job, then repeat the process when the shop calls back to place the order.

Now imagine if many or most of those call-in customers were cataloging their... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Rex Burkheimer) http://wmpartsplus.yuku.com/topic/478 Mon, 26 Jul 2004 09:13:19 GMT http://wmpartsplus.yuku.com/topic/479/t/Notepad-June-2004.html PROFormance Transmissions
Ever heard of these guys? They are the biggest rebuilder of engines and transmissions in the known universe. Virtually their entire business is OE replacements at new car dealerships. If you have had a transmission or engine replaced at a Ford dealership in the last couple of decades, you almost certainly got a PROFormance unit. PROFormance recently elected to offer their products through WDs & Jobbers.
