I am Gnpowermasters. TorquemonsterZ was already taken by another member. I am sure 99% of this active website recognizes my name as it has be very well know for the past 15 years. I have been a Buick enthusiastic for over 20+ years now. I have owned 30+ Turbo Buicks in my past and my 1 of a kind 1987 20th anninversary Buick powered Camaro Z28 Convertible. Within the past couple years, I began liquidating my 20+ year collection of Buick parts. I decided to get out of it, and move on. As to my surprise, I noticed that the market on these cars began strong again, and saw the demand for these hard to find parts that I had abundantly. I have been dealing with all major Buick vendors for years, but only for my personal cars, and my customers. I was never a retailer or vendor. My business is a very common houshold name to all the Buick Vendors/Techs out there. I have known, and been dealing with such names as: Brian of G-body parts, Christinia at Kirbans, Maryanne @ Fullthrottle, Christy @ Metco, John at esp, Justin at Caspers, Steve Kaminski, Danny Smith, Harry Anderson, etc, etc. I and all of my customers will agree, I am more than qualified to my knowledge in parts, effective hi-perfornamnce combos, stats, mechanical repair, diagnosis, stats, and every single aspect of 84-87 Turbo Buicks.
For those that think my pricing is higher than others:
I am sure you are aware of my higher pricing of most parts. Ebay fees are roughly 12-15% (and rising) on every sale, therefore I must be marked up higher to make a small proffit. I'm not in the business to lose money, just make a small proffit, and keep my customers happy for the lowest price I can offer. I WILL GLADLY PRICE MATCH ANY VENDOR ON ANY PRODUCT ON A TRANSACTION MADE OFF EBAY. My new website is in progress, as I am trying to get away from Ebay and there fees. This year alone, I have spent close to $20,000.00 in final value fees! One the new site is up, you will see a reduction in pricing for all items 12%-15%. I will then be able to match every competitor, if not beat them on products of my own. My 1500+ ebay repeat customers know to always contact me directly for better pricing.
For those that think I drop ship everything:
I currently have over $100,000 in new and used inventory. Next to G-body parts, I have the largest variety of used parts in the country. My business has over 3500 sq foot on inventory. I have enough parts to build at least 10 cars from the ground up, include rare nos parts. Little more than your average Buick vendor.
For those of you that may think I run a business out of my house:
My current business address has been established since 1977. It is 13 car Zoned Body shop/ collision, mechaincal repair, and dealership. Very rare for 1-stop shop that does it all, but we do! We do nothing but first class work, and have over 50 years experience in all fields. However....I am clearly aware of a few Buick Shops/Vendors that DO run a business out of there house. I'm not here to bash anyone, so I will leave there names anonymous.
I have sold dozen car cars here on Tb.com, and bought/sold many parts (as a collector, not a vendor). I have always had nothing but a positive experience in every transaction on T.B.com. My success as a Buick vendor has spoken for itself with over $300,000 in sales in its first year. Not bad for a start in the middle of the worst recession in history. I am more than confident that 99.3% of all my customers are satisfied with there purchases (ebay feedback). I strive for the best customer satisfaction that I can offer. I offer FREE estimates on any type of repair, and FREE technical support even if its not my product. Do not ever to hesitate to call or stop by to check out my inventory. I appologize early because I will not be able to really follow up and answer anymore questions, as I am extremely busy, if not slammed keeping up with all my orders and business'. Hence the reasoning of throwing it all out there. I hope this post clears up alot of gray areas for everyones concerns about my business. If anybody needs to contact me, the best way is to call or email me directly @
Gnpowermasters@aol.com.
Dear TurboBuick moderator, please dont flag/delete this post as I am not trying to plug my business. If you want to "LOCK" it after this post, that would be greatly appreciated. I am just trying to clear the air of the communities concerns. I am looking forward to being more active on the site, and being a paying sponsor.
Thank you,
