So, does Trent drive German cars?  If so that's a plus on his side.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

[WILTON]

Rusty has sold his business to Trent Fiorino (Q, Jr.) and gone "corporate" - 
working for World Pac.  Today was Rusty's last day.  Therefore, we've been 
in morning over the loss of Rusty for 2 or 3 days since he gave us the 
shocking news.

Funny that you should mention Moog; I once had a Mitsubishi Precis, and the 
Moog parts that I bought all bore HMC stamps; that is made in Seoul, Hyundai 
Motor Corp.  (Not all that strange, considering that the Precis was a rebadged 
Excel, also available as a Dodge Colt...)

Wilton,

 You are spot on!  NY tags suck.  The insurance is overpriced,
registration fees are terrible and inspections for newer cars are getting
worse.  Not to mention every time you go to a Southern state other than
Florida folks look at you like some sort of city folk that is about to 
rob

something.

 My vote is that Q will lobby the new employer to be our corporate

 sponsor, and as such, the corp. sponsor will provide us with free car

parts
for us to review and then provide "how to" writeups which they can 
post

on
their website after our group does peer reviews to insure accuracy. 
We
then become the corporate poster children for their parts.  Some of 
us

will
become media celebs...

As part of this program, the Corp Sponsor will fly us all to GA (or
someplace better) once a year for "Q" and an annual meeting where 
they

tell
us what's new and we tell em what works.

Their calendar will have 12-14 pictures of our cars in high res., 
with

or
without scantily clad girls.  from pristine cars to working Rusty but
Trusty cars.   The message is "buy our parts and save money by not
having
outrageous car payments."  "be a 'merkin rugged individual"






(angry fatmen not allowed.  Offer void outside the continental USA.
(the
usual disclaimers))



 So now you can afford a much bigger/better Rusty-Q, and have it 
hosted


 at a garage with lifts so we can tinker with cars while eating and

drinking?

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

[Michael Canfield]

No.  Was about 20 years ago.  Maybe the jacked up suspension and bigger
tires, long haired driver and loud mouthed ex wife had something to do with
it though.  There weren't many Subarus in GA, especially lifted 4wd ones.

That doesn't sound like great customer service to me.  If I order a 
specific brand, I expect that to arrive in my package.  That's a failure

Actually General Parts sold Car Quest or rather most of the Car Quest stores to 
Advance early this year.

The nice thing about my local CQ is they've got a lot of what I need in stock, 
front wheel bearings, oil filter, fuel filter etc. And most other stuff they 
can have tomorrow morning at no extra charge. Suspension parts I've bought from 
them are usually marked Moog, made in the USA which I appreciate.

While I think it has already been said, the advantages Rusty provided 
weren't price, but the understanding of what was acceptable as a quality 
part and what wasn't. I don't have an issue paying more for a quality 
part - I have been amazed as I have re-entered the MB world with the 140 
and seen the flood of substandard, rather, crappy parts, that are coming 
out of China, such as those under the URO brand.


Do consider that there are some online parts suppliers that give you a 
choice, such as Rock Auto, but their support is marginal at best, and they 
often attempt to pad their margins with outlandish shipping charges.


Case in point: I have a discount voucher from Rock Auto for something I 
bought for one of the Focuses. I thought I might see what a set of front 
brake rotors would cost for the 140. I found the same brand that I would 
buy from Rusty, which was close to the same price as Rusty's web site. 
From Rusty there was no shipping cost. Rock Auto wanted over $40 for 
shipping!!!


I will give Rusty's replacement the benefit of the doubt and see how he 
does, as I am sure others will. I would also expect that fellow list 
members will share their experiences here so we can properly vet him and 
also help him assimilate into our world.


We can take advantage of his newbie-ness to help him understand what our

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

[Dan Penoff]

While I think it has already been said, the advantages Rusty provided weren't 
price, but the understanding of what was acceptable as a quality part and what 
wasn't. I don't have an issue paying more for a quality part - I have been 
amazed as I have re-entered the MB world with the 140 and seen the flood of 
substandard, rather, crappy parts, that are coming out of China, such as those 
under the URO brand.

Do consider that there are some online parts suppliers that give you a choice, 
such as Rock Auto, but their support is marginal at best, and they often 
attempt to pad their margins with outlandish shipping charges.

Case in point: I have a discount voucher from Rock Auto for something I bought 
for one of the Focuses. I thought I might see what a set of front brake rotors 
would cost for the 140. I found the same brand that I would buy from Rusty, 
which was close to the same price as Rusty's web site. From Rusty there was no 
shipping cost. Rock Auto wanted over $40 for shipping!!!

I will give Rusty's replacement the benefit of the doubt and see how he does, 
as I am sure others will. I would also expect that fellow list members will 
share their experiences here so we can properly vet him and also help him 
assimilate into our world.

We can take advantage of his newbie-ness to help him understand what our 
expectations are and how he can best meet our needs.

YES!!!  Avoid MTC.  I learned my lesson after 3 MTC monovalve failures in 2 
months, and an MTC aux pump that leaked most of my coolant in downtown Chicago! 
 In the case of the aux pump, the screws that held the pump case to the motor 
kept loosening resulting in an engine compartment coated with 
anti-freeze..usually halfway between Maine and New York City.

I will certainly miss this. The nearest non autozoo parts place is a worldac 
client, so I will still feel like I am getting parts from Rusty, so not all is 
entirely lost. Will Trent still have access to the Florida warehouse? Does my 
account have a special notation "ball buster"?

I highly recommend watching the rock auto clearance sales. I've gotten some

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

[Dieselhead]

My vote is that Q will lobby the new employer to be our corporate 
sponsor, and as such, the corp. sponsor will provide us with free car 
parts for us to review and then provide "how to" writeups which they 
can post on their website after our group does peer reviews to insure 
accuracy.  We then become the corporate poster children for their 
parts.  Some of us will become media celebs...


As part of this program, the Corp Sponsor will fly us all to GA (or 
someplace better) once a year for "Q" and an annual meeting where 
they tell us what's new and we tell em what works.


Their calendar will have 12-14 pictures of our cars in high res., 
with or without scantily clad girls.  from pristine cars to working 
Rusty but Trusty cars.   The message is "buy our parts and save money 
by not having outrageous car payments."  "be a 'merkin rugged 
individual"







(angry fatmen not allowed.  Offer void outside the continental USA. 
(the usual disclaimers))




So now you can afford a much bigger/better Rusty-Q, and have it 
hosted at a garage with lifts so we can tinker with cars while 
eating and drinking?

I see a lot of people on other forums touting Autohaus, but based on 
the prices they are quoting, much of it is the Chinese URO brand 
crap.


When the prices are half of what other suppliers are quoting, you 
have to ask yourself what could be so different that accounts for 
something costing so much less?

(one of) the great things about Q is that he could supply chinee crap 
if you want it, OEM stuff, if you wanted, or OE if that's what you 
want,  and some times quality third party parts, if that's what fills 
the need, all at competitive prices, and with a smile and a gawga

GIGO still holds.  If you want chinee crap, why bother with AZ?  just 
buy it on fleabay or crockauto.  Or if you want to be abused by an

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

Why couldn't we set up a retail repair business complete with business 
licensce in some town/state where taxes are cheap?  The group members who so 
desired would be partners in the business and at least one member would be a 
mechanic.  That way we could deal directly with World Pac/Rusty.  This would 
be in case Trent didn't work out as our supplier.

Gerry.who has been called a troublemaker with his ideas in the past.

Part of me died reading the announcement. No other parts guy has ever been

A little known secret about Rusty is his milk box. Often I have been 
unable to get to him during the week for parts and often have I grabbed 
one or all of my kids on the weekend to "go see Rusty". I will miss that 
milk box. I will make it the stuff of legends.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

[Jaime Kopchinski]

Thats a good point, Kaleb... Gary is a good choice here.  One thing he does
better than anyone else:  hes good at figuring out what parts are quality,
and which are Chinese junk.  This is changing frequently and isn't obvious
as it once was.  He actually cares about it.  I buy lots of stuff from my
local dealer, but everything else comes from Gary.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

[Gerry Archer]

I've been buying Mercedes parts for about about 40 years.  Of all the 
sellers, my experience with Rusty has been the best; both in terms of parts 
quality, service, and the fact that you can talk to somebody who isn't just 
watching the clock and putting in time.  The new guy may not know as much 
about Mercedes cars, parts, etc.; but then neither did any of the other 
sellers I've dealt with.
I'll give him a chance to learn if he pretty much continues Rustys way of 
doing business.  Good luck, Trent.

right exactly,  avoid URO at all costs, unless it is some sort of

I will give the guy a chance, but am skeptical, I still maintain I 
have no loyalty to him though so its going to be about price and 
service I guess.  If he was in the flooring business, what does he 
know about MB parts?

There's lots of stuff floating around about where Rusty is going to work 
since he won't tell us.  Some say he bought a microbrewery-bar on Peachtree 
Street, others say he's going into politics, and still others say he's going 
to work for Toyota or BMW as their parts liason in the Southeast.

Whatever he does, I wish him success.

Let me clarify my post about Autohauz, you do need to watch what 
you are ordering there and try to steer clear of the cheap china 
parts, even ordering OEM parts from OEM brands when it arrives it 
turns out to be made in China.

much better than a single guy trying to sell car parts on the internet.
  With big guys like autohausaz out there cornering the market with cheap
chinese parts, it seems like a very bad time to get into the parts business
as a new guy.

This is just my opinion, of course.

Look I am all for giving the guy a change, but at this point Rusty 
is out of the game so he has nothing to lose, I may try him but 
from what I have heard, Autohausaz has great customer service and 
very good prices.  I have always bought from Rusty out of loyalty 
but now that he is gone, I will most likely be buying from 
Autohaus.  Sorry Trent.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

[buymbparts]

I will be on the lists. I am starting a new sales office for WorldPac, at their 
Atlanta warehouse. I am going back to my original roots of selling to 
independent garages. I did this for 20 years before buyMBparts. It is a lot of 
fun as well. I am blessed to have had jobs that are really not work but a 
pleasure.
The added bonus is 3 times the money AND paid benefits!

The usual headline stories come up quick - ds put up one story.  Looks
like the guy is from Sterling, IL?  I agree - what is his expertise?
Is he merely brokering the biz?  Yo, Trent - welcome, and speak up.
Tell us about yourself other than you are happy to do biz with us.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

Actually, I think its a pretty reasonable set of questions, but yes, I was
being somewhat sarcastic.

If you found something out about this new parts supplier, it might be
useful for the whole list to know.  Good parts people are hard to come by,
as we all know.

I am presuming you to be asking a rhetorical question, in sarcasm. If I am 
wrong, and you are asking a valid question and would like a reply, I have done

So, before we put this Trent guy on a pedestal, it might be a good idea to
ask who he is, what experience does he have, and does he plan to continue
the same type of business?

Or, we could just idolize him.
