Numerous articles and news feeds about internal strife from the strikes around the country, union labor shortages, disruptions from manufacturers and remanufacturers, and a myriad of other internal issues is causing more latency for us getting the parts you need.  We are doing all we can to find sources within the GM and AC Delco network to get the parts shipped to your door.  Rest assured, we will not be filling boxes with aftermarket (Non OEM) parts!

03/25/08 - Due to snowstorms and other trucking issues, we are experiencing latency getting parts from General Motors. If your order is delayed by the shortages caused by GM lately, we will be contacting you to keep you updated on any ETA news.

Please let us know if you need additional help with your order.
