Default Morning everyone - GM Parts manager from Mass here

Hello

My name is Mike and I'm a parts manager at a Buick GMC Cadillac (and Saab) dealer in Massachusetts. Just found this forum yesterday. Been an active member at Dealer's Edge for the past several year as well.

Been in the business since 1990 - worked my way up from a lot attendant to a detailer, to a lube guy, to a tech, to parts counter to where I am now. Been a fun ride so far.


Love the layout of this forum. Always looking to learn something and if I can ever help with something, feel free to ask.

Hey, you look familiar

Yeah, that's how I found this place. Was googling to see if it was down for everyone yesterday - guess they got hacked

zep33 - Welcome to DealershipForum - I think it's great when a new member starts off with an introduction and then jumps right in.

DealershipForum is still somewhat small but there's a great group of people here who have exchanged some very helpful information.

Thanks for joining the forum and thanks for starting an introduction thread.

I once wondered why there were so many Service and Parts Managers who joined the DealershipForum and then someone clued me in that most of them probably came from the Dealer's Edge forum.

It's great to have some Fixed Operations people on the forum - it's too bad more of them don't jump in and respond to an existing thread or create a new one.

They probably either dumped it completely (only real users were PM's),
or took it back to subscriber access only (which killed it last time).

It was back up for a little while early this morning and there was a post by Mike Nichols about advertising drugs from Canada so it was obviously spam attacked. Now it's down for maintenance. Probably setting up some spam filters or something.

And yes, the subscription did kill it last time but enough stuck around
