Interesting Experience With Jon B.............

[Don Hiltz]

As some of you know, my '03 was struck a glancing blow on the left front fender and I've learned yet another use for duct tape.

Jon B at PartsRack agreed to buy the 2 front tires, fender, and bumper cover.

In the past I've read many threads about Jon, both negative and positive. Since I've never met him personally, all my experience has been vicarious and second hand.

Well, today I received a check from Jon for the full amount. I haven't yet shipped the fender and bumper cover, so I was astounded.

I know he is a smart businessman, but his trust in an unknown quanity is noteworthy.

Thanks Jon.............

Agreed, I've never met him, but he's been helpful to me.

Thanks for the K&N setup.

I just got off the phone with him a few hours ago, got things from him in the past, and just ordered more stuff. Great guy who's verrrrrrry informative, so ask him anything you feel unsure about (just like I did). Great job John keep it up !

If it fits on my Viper I get it at Partsrack

This is an unorthodox and unofficial JonB thread. In order for it to receive official certification as a JonB thread, it is necessary for the first post to be cast in a whining, complaining context. Then everyone jumps to Jon's defense, including me, and Jon sits back and basks in the glory of his sainthood. This thread is also premature since it has not been a long enough time since the last JonB post and accompanying canonization. Hi Jon.

Why would you consider this odd? Like most of us, I’ve bought and sold tons of stuff on the Internet. It’s always money first - merchandise second.

He has sent me stuff and charged me when I was satisfied, and once gave me a couple freebie Viper key chains in my color. Good vendor!

 

[96GTS]

He's the only person I'll do business with. Ron at R&J stiffed me for a $90.00 re-stocking fee for 2 door panels, so I was a little leary of vendors. I got a few items from Jon, and couldn't be happier.

Since Jon is a well known Viper vendor and Don is a customer who had never before dealt with Jon, I could understand if Jon wanted the merchandise 1st. Its been too many stories on here about people receiving goods that were not as described. Jon's faith in Viper owners who he's never met/dealt with says a lot about his character!

Jon, what are you doing, "bumping" this post?

Those guys are right about you (the good stuff).

Got the car back today and it looks great. Crown Motors Body Shop did a splendid job. Paint and alignment look perfect. Interestingly, it was discovered that the inner bumper liner had to be replaced too. This is a one piece unit which runs the entire width of the car. The cost: $2200!!!!!

That makes the whole job right at about $12K.

The phrase "Viper Tax" now as an entirely new meaning to me.

This entire affair reminded me of one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a movie. Do ya'll remember that classic remark from John Candy in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" as he observed the tremendous damage two 18 wheelers had done to his car? He said: "They can probably just buff that out".

"The phrase "Viper Tax" now as an entirely new meaning to me."

It has a new meaning to other driver's insurance company as well . Glad you got your car back to non-duct tape condition!
