Mopar Muscle Cars



It's Friday at Rightnowautoparts.com and we are celebrating ultra casual shorts, flip flops and hats day. Somehow that attire just breeds laziness... So, here is a picture of a cool car. That may be all for today. Have a great weekend!!

ACDelco & Motorcraft vs. GM & Ford Parts

Rightnowautoparts.com is a wholesale warehouse distributor of AC Delco and Motorcraft auto parts for GM and Ford vehicles. Sometimes it can be confusing when a customer would like to buy a part for their GM or Ford car and we don't stock it. Sooo, I figured it might be good for me to put in writing the difference between the two.

AC Delco is an auto parts division of General Motors. They are tasked with making sure parts are available for Dealerships and Auto repair shops when a GM vehicle needs to be repaired. AC Delco covers the most replaced parts for service, like tune up pieces, alternators, starters, filters, radiators, ac parts, modules, switches, etc.. These parts only make up about 25%-40% of the actual parts on a vehicle, but typically are the pieces replaced in over 90% of the repairs needed. Our place in this distribution process is to make sure the parts are available as close to the replacement need as possible so that when a car goes down, the part can be there on the same or next day. GM "Dealer Only" parts would be items such as glass, body panels, interior pieces, emblems, wheels, etc..

A very similar business distribution model is also in place with Ford. Motorcraft is an auto parts division of Ford Motor Company. They are tasked with making sure parts are available for Dealerships and Auto repair shops when a Ford vehicle needs to be repaired. Motorcraft covers the most replaced parts for service, like tune up pieces, alternators, starters, filters, radiators, ac parts, modules, switches, etc.. These parts only make up about 25%-40% of the actual parts on a vehicle, but typically are the pieces replaced in over 90% of the repairs needed. Our place in this distribution process is to make sure the parts are available as close to the replacement need as possible so that when a car goes down, the part can be there on the same or next day. Ford "Dealer Only" parts would be items such as glass, body panels, interior pieces, emblems, wheels, etc..

Hopefully this helps clear up a little about why we are here and which pieces are available from us. If there is any confusion I have always suggested to find the part number first at a dealership and at least type it into our search to see if we have it. If we stock it you should be able to save quite a bit of money. If we don't then be thankful the dealership is there to help source those hard to find parts. We are all part of the same distribution chain, put in place by the manufacturers to make sure your vehicle is repaired as quickly as possible, with the highest quality O.E. auto parts available. If Rightnowautoparts.com can also help you save money in the process then that would be great as well!!

Thanks for your business! Tell Your Friends!!

The title of this post is the way I generally sign the e-mails I send out. Being fairly new to the retail world on the internet (despite 80 years in the wholesale auto parts business) I work daily trying to find new ways to market our site . I would like to ask your help in a small way to promote our business. I am working every angle I know how to let everyone know what a great price we are offering, especially on ACDelco and Motorcraft parts. I have found that Google highly regards comments made in blogs and forums. If you find the time, please share your experience with fellow vehicle owners in whichever way you feel. If you are on Facebook please click the link here on our blog and share our site. There is also a link in the middle of our home page to share on MANY pages. I would really appreciate the help!!

Most of the people I have spoken with seem quite appreciative of our pricing and customer service. I love those e-mails and phone calls. I also need to hear from anyone who did not have a good experience. Most companies are bound to make a few mistakes if they grow as quickly as we have. Please take a few moments and send me your comments, compliments, complaints and ideas to Rightnowautoparts@gmail.com and I will strive to live up to your expectations.

Thanks for your business! Tell Your Friends!!

International Credit Cards and Shipping





Miguel,

I am not sure what the banking regulations entail, but at this time our credit card processing provider does not allow us to accept international credit cards. We are also limited to shipping within the lower 48 states by our agreements with UPS and Fedex. Although I would love to extend our very low prices to everyone, I am limited to stay within these guidelines. I have had customers in the past who were able to get a friend to purchase their parts within these rules, and then have them process the transaction after they received the shipment.

Thanks for your question,

Brad

P.S. I am going to forward your contact information to a business associate who may be able to help out. Scott Dehotman runs our global division and he has been able to work out some of the associated issues. Hopefully he can be of assistance.

rightnowautoparts.com freight discussion




Joe,

There are certain limitations on which parts make sense to purchase online. Certainly small value items like individual oil filters or gaskets are not beneficial to buy online, because the freight adds too much to the cost. We have all of our Delco priced at 16% off of Jobber which is typically about 30% less than our competition. The freight costs are calculated online straight from the UPS database based on zip-code information.

I do have a one year web-birthday special going that may help you out. In the shopping cart there is a field to enter a promotional code. If you will type "Birthday" in that field it will give an additional 10% off (until the end of March 2010). Hopefully that will help allay the costs of some of the freight. We will also upgrade and "UPS Second Day" to Fedex Standard overnight for the same cost.

Thanks for checking with us. Even if this part doesn't make sense because of the freight, please keep us in mind in case you have a need for a higher dollar purchase in the future. ALL of the Delco items are highly discounted and the savings add up quickly.


We appreciate your business!!

It's our birthday, here is your gift!

http://www.rightnowautoparts.com?discountid=birthday

In celebration of our one year web-birthday we want to thank everyone for helping us build a successful Business to Consumer web presence. It is a great piece to add to our existing 90 year old, $120 million dollar Business to Business operation. Our goal is to continue to build this side of our company by treating customers as partners. We feel by giving you the lowest price we can, you will help us build our volume by telling your friends. It is how we have done things since 1924… We are glad you have chosen Rightnowautoparts.com!

From now until the end of March we are offering an additional 10% discount to EVERYONE and their referred friends. In the shopping cart you will see a box labeled “Enter Coupon Code”. Please enter the word “Birthday” and click the Go button to apply your discount. This is set-up as a one time discount as some of these prices will dip below our actual cost. Make sure to load up on everything you need on that one order (oil and air filters, tune up supplies, brakes and rotors, etc.)

We are typically 20-30 percent lower than our competition, you may as well take advantage of this one time offer and get your extra 10% to make it 40.

Thanks for your business, tell a friend!!
