And that was one of the value adds that Rusty brought to the table -

steering us away from the crap. Also his deep knowledge of which parts
which MB uses and the ability to find the part you need with just a verbal
description over the phone. He will be missed.

Visit downtown Valdosta at about 2am with NY tags on a 4wd Subaru then get

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 
of customer service called bait'n'switch.

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.

 You are spot on!  NY tags suck.  The insurance is overpriced,

worse.  Not to mention every time you go to a Southern state other than

 From: Dan Penoff d...@penoff.com
 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.

So, before we put this Trent guy on a pedestal, it might be a good idea to

Or, we could just idolize him.

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,

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

A search on the internet for Trent Fiorini brings up a guy in IL who works
for a flooring business, along with other members of his family.  Is this
our man?  I wouldn't think so, as a well run local floor business could do
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.

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.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

I was just curious to see if the anti-competitive attitude would be
continued on this list.  I'm glad to hear he won't be carrying the baggage
of the past, but I'm sad that you had to bring it up.

If Trent can offer good service and prices for good parts, I welcome him!

Re: [MBZ] In mourning


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!

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

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.

Let me clarify my post about Autohauz, you do need to watch what

parts, even ordering OEM parts from OEM brands when it arrives it 
turns out to be made in China.

Whatever he does, I wish him success.

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

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

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?

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

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.

Autohaus had awful service. The people who man the phones don't know or give a 
damn about our cars and they are awkward and rude.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

2013-03-06 Thread Rolf

Part of me died reading the announcement. No other parts guy has ever been as 
understanding and reliable (that might go both ways) as Rusty.

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.

Damnit, where are my hankies.

And often the parts listed are simply not available at any price.

I shall order some from Trent but will probably rely more on my local Car 
Quest.
