Re: Cutbacks may end GM Canada's documenting service?.
I thought it might be good to address one point brought up by a previous poster, over the years we have had folks come up to us at car shows and say that we had the microfilm so we could track down all the good cars ourselves and buy them up. Although tempting, that is the area called credibility, many times I have seen what someone is buying and I said to myself "lucky guy", actually many many times, but we would lose all trust put in us by you folks if we tried to jump in on the sale ahead of you. Each car I document I treat as a new case, I do not in general track which ones I have done before. I do try and add a bit to each package we send out over the years, especially pictures from salesmans guides. We had to initiate a minumum research fee of $15.75 to cover wear and tear and time on the microfilm reader ( $8,000 for the machine and a $1,200 repair/cleaning bill every year), but even then I try and send out the engineering specs to give you something for your money. I try and look at each package as what would I like to receive if it was my car being done. To maintain credibility again I will not discuss someones package with another person, I will only discuss with the person who ordered the package as many people change what I put down on paper and add a line or remove one ( funny how a 307 Camaro becomes a Z/28 )heh heh heh. I will gladly speak with the person who ordered the documentation, but sometimes we get busy and if I appear rushed please understand and be patient, I do not want to snub anyone. Thanks for the space.
