:thumb: I ordered the same part from both at the same time (don't ask) jason was cheaper, faster better service. (no hooker jokes) screw gmparts.

anyone wanna buy a extra 847 cam new in the box. 'doh'

How does Jason Cromer get parts cheaper than anyone else? and more importantly, how do I get a hold of him?

I don't think he does... all dealers probably buy parts from GM at the same price. Most dealers operate at huge profit margins because most customers don't know any better. Jason Cromer and others operate at slim margins but rely on sales volume.

Well i was just talking with a parts guy at GM that i know pretty well and he's actually curious as to how he gets the parts this cheap as well since he says that when he buys direct from GM the prices are actually a lot more than what Jason's selling them for!

Re: Jason Cromer v. GMpartsdirect.com
 

It's no secret. He sells at wholesale price. It's the same price that any shop would come in to the parts counter and buy the parts for.

Jason Cromer is awsome to deal with... i've ordered about 6 rounds of parts from him over the years and never once had a problem.

IMHO, he's the ONLY person anyone should ever order GM parts from. I even get great prices from him on parts for the GN and other vehicles in the family too. :thumb:

Who is this Jason Cromer?? Is there a website I can look at for his stuff or what?

Re: Jason Cromer v. GMpartsdirect.com
 

Jason is the parts manager at Sam Taylor Buick Cadillac.

Not trying to change the original subject but Dal Slabaugh at Van Devere deserves credit for great customer service and prices along with Jason.

Re: Jason Cromer v. GMpartsdirect.com
 

While I think the end price of GMpartsdirect.com is often times in line to that of Dal and Jason, I RARELY order from GMpartsdirect.com because I can't stand their underhanded "try to trick me" scam with their shipping charges. The claim they make most of their money in the shipping charges... well that is obvious because it doesn't cost nearly $20 to ship a LT4 knock module.

It's a shame they don't realize just how much unreasonably high shipping charges tick people off even when the end result might still be a little cheaper.

IMO of course :)

Re: Jason Cromer v. GMpartsdirect.com
 

When I last ordered from GMparts direct it was over the phone... but that was almost 2yrs ago... since then they have really changed... especially i nthe shipping department... a company I can't talk to when I need to.. .and even if I don't need to I find very unreliable... Jason Cromer is a good man.

Re: Jason Cromer v. GMpartsdirect.com
 

Bingo. Screw GMPD, Jason all the way.

Re: Jason Cromer v. GMpartsdirect.com
 

Another vote for Jason, as he will almost no questions asked take back a defective part under warranty.

Shoot, I couldn't even get any local dealerships to give me a new opti under warranty when I brought it in because "they" didn't diagnose it themselves. One phone call to Jason and he immediately says to me "send it back." That's service. :thumb:

Re: Jason Cromer v. GMpartsdirect.com
 

+1 for Jason

I tried to order something from gmpartsdirect, and their website wouldn't validate my credit card info, and the two day delay in customer service response made it impossible to order. One call and two minutes on the phone got me the part I needed striaght away from Jason.

Re: Jason Cromer v. GMpartsdirect.com
 

I would never order from GMPD again if Jason or Dal had online ordering available. I go to GMPD because the prices *IS* similar, and I enjoy not having to speak with a person to place an order. Call me a hermit if you must.

But I've no complaint with ordering through any of the 3 great sources. Let's just be happy we all have a source to get parts cheap!
