most junk yards don't have all 4 rims, they usually get 1 or 2 here and there to make a set, due to the way they get parts, from accidents which usually a rim is bent. When the people of this country and world treat everyone equal then will we know what freedom really is.

I'm a little tired of this *your ancestors came from somewhere else*. And the implication that the Indians are the only people that are native. Those suckers came from somewhere else too. They're a bunch of illegals too. Out with everyone.
Cheez, what ever happen to *sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me*?

This type of discussion always ends up getting emotions going sky high...

I would like to add a little more to what I initially posted.

Again, I do NOT condone what this guy said or did, PERIOD.

I was merely pointing out that **** happens, and it sometimes gets the most of us.&nbsp All of you who mention that you would never do such things - I find this hard to believe.&nbsp Either that or you're a much better human being than I am.

I've been on the business side of things, and I've been through a lot of crap dished out by customers.&nbsp I wouldn't have gone off in front of a customer like that, but I'd sure sneak in some snide remarks AFTER the customer has left.

Note, I didn't know MazMart treated customers this badly.&nbsp I only know of them from the ads I've seen, and they look like a pretty big RX-7 parts dealer from their ads - I have never done business with them personally.

This is the end of my input on this thread, as it really has nothing to do with FC's...

Hey, a bit off topic, anybody knows whether I should buy from RX7 STORE? I read a thread about it that says it's got bad service or something!

There's no excuse for blowing up like that, the man's a POS! Unless Harry's life virtually ended 2 secs before he walked in I wouldn't give him the steam off my **** in sympathy. Only then would he be prevy to a mL of my steam!

I HATE IT when people rag on those who've just come to north america. (although this technically doesn't apply, that POS thought it did) It's a proven fact that immigrants contribute far more to our society than they take. Most of the people who've been born here feel like everyone owes them something and are lazy SOBs!

Don't feel bad for asking the POS guy for a lower price. I've seen a set of 1st gen rims with tires go out of a local yard for 60. The whole damned set. People that run these overpriced yards need to wake the hell up.

Sounds like someone needs to talk to Rick then and let him know what POS employee's he has working for him. I'm sure Rick would like to stay in business but it's not gonna happen with his helpers treating people like that.

You might try talking to Rick and tell him how you were treated. He should give you a full set of rims for starters along with an apology just so you won't call the BBB.

Re

It was my understanding that Jim Downing had some stake in maz-mart. Or did.

I can vouch for Paul. I will not deal with anyone other than him.

Maybe call Jim and let him know what happend. Downing Atlanta is in Chamblee, GA

I posted this in their "feedback" section.



Derek rated Mazmart as Very Bad on 2/5/2002

"You done fuc*ed up with the racist remarks and rude service. No use in me taking a chance with your service. I'll never even consider doing business with you. Good Luck."

I got a similar line from them. When I was looking for a used motor, I called them for a quote. I don't know who I spoke with, but he recommended that I get rid of the car instead of putting more money into it.

Hey, Cosworth,
As you probably now know, “Sell it for less” is just a bad choice of words in some cultures.
Here might be an example:
He comes to the counter. You ask, “What’s your best price?”
He says $60.
You say “I’ve got $50 cash on me, but for $60, I’ll have to charge it.”
(You are showing respect for his business, and offering an option)
He makes his choice.. You make yours..

Still, no excuse for racial slurs.

I guess I've been on both sides of the fence. I buy stuff all of the time and, I own a small business.

The customer is always right! That doesn't mean that I do whatever the cusatomer asks. It means that I will tell the customer something like "You're right, that price might be a little high but, I can't sell it for less, I'm sorry". The customer then has to make a decision.

I have employed more than one person in the past that told me "I'm glad you ain't got no ******* working for you". Those people were worked only until I could find a replacement for them.

I am a 40 year old, white male of Italian decent (my family came to the U.S. in 1904). I can remember my grandfather complaining about the "Jew's store", down the street.

We all have our own prejudices, I sure do have mine! BUT..., you would likely never know it. I try hard to be fair in buying and selling. (My sales are $1,800 - $17,000 each)

Anyway, that guy is a *****. You are doing the best thing that you can. Do it and then leave it alone, you'll have done your part in his demise. I mean, you've convinced me to never buy from them.

Good Luck,
Mike

I went once to Mazmart and asked about some parts for FC, they had nothing for price i was willing to pay. Friend who was with me was almost kicked out of place just because he was looking at one of their car...They are really strange ppl-haters....

Thanks everyone,

Our differences have been settled via e-mail. I couldn't have reached such a quick victory without all of your comments. Thanks.

I posted my .02 on RX-7 Store. Do yourselves a favor and read it before you consider them. Email me @ relvinnian@hotmail.com if you have questions. I live in Columbus where this business is located, and I've met the owner numerous times. Hell even Jason's friends say his customer service sucks.
