I Just Can't Afford The Repair Cost?

In times like these many are having to deal with the very real impact of issues such as this. The car you need to take you back and forth to work first started acting up, and then quit running altogether. The mechanic has identified what is needed, but between what he is charging for labor and the cost of the auto parts needed it is just too much.

It's time to get creative. This is where Autopartstomorrow.com can help out. Our wholesale pricing is typically LESS than what your mechanic has been buying the parts for. Once you find what you need with the help of one of our parts experts at 1-800-547-2052 you can either install it yourself if you have the know-how or ask your mechanic to help out at a pre-agreed to labor only job fee. Believe me, the way things are you will not be the first one who has asked for help. He may say no, but his business has been impacted as well, and any job is better than none. Even if he says no he may be able to suggest someone else who may be able to help.

We are all figuring out new ways to get things done. Our low price, straight from the warehouse distributor business model is new. Creativity, and the willingness to help are always in demand. That is why we will be here for years to come. Everyone we help today will tell a friend tomorrow... If you know what I mean ;-)

Delco Auto Parts

AC Delco Auto Parts for GM Vehicles

General Motors not only manufacturers automobiles, but also manufacturers the automobile parts through their AC Delco auto parts division. This division is responsible for sourcing parts needed in the manufacturer of GM vehicles, as well as providing parts supplies for consumers in need of replacement auto parts for their own GM vehicle. This division has been around for almost a hundred years, providing quality parts for all GM models.

No Hassle AC Delco Auto Parts

If you own an older modeled GM vehicle finding replacement parts for it can be problematic as most car parts stores only stock a select amount of replacement parts. Even the car dealership only deals with newer makes and models parts and both often require you ordering the part and waiting until it is shipped and received. Instead you can cut out these middlemen and go straight to the source, which has an extensive stock of AC Delco auto parts with next day delivery service available in most areas, through Auto Parts Tomorrow.

I Love My Car !!

People are funny... We all work hard to express our uniqueness in many ways. One of those is in the choice of vehicle we drive. Whether we are aware of it or not, a lot can be told from our car.



I'm not really talking about the value of the car. Many people are driving much more car than they can afford. I'm speaking more about the size, shape, type and condition of our cars. We all know someone that has a very expensive car or truck that has not been washed or cleaned out since it was driven off of the showroom floor. We probably also know people of wealth that drive a vehicle beneath their means, like Sam Walton's famed old pickup truck. Then there is the traditional mid-life crisis car where an older person chooses to drive a sports car that seems more befitting of someone younger.



My favorite however is the "classic car" owner like the Chevette in the picture above, lined up with other muscle cars. I promise you would be entertained by speaking with this person. Whichever vehicle you love, we understand your passion. Cars are sometimes our best friends and sometimes our worst enemy depending on their state of repair. At Autopartstomorrow we want to work with you to make sure your car is in perfect running order, every day... especially tomorrow.

Legal Is Boring...

Many companies out there feel it is OK to try to deceive their customers and relabel or sell as OE, when it's really not. Like I tell anyone who will listen, "I'm just not smart enough to keep up with all that".



Our main line of auto parts are ACDelco and Motorcraft, direct from the manufacturers. Where they sell parts with the exact same number (but made by someone else), ours are exactly the same as if you paid for it at the parts counter of your local GM or Ford dealership. While we carry several full lines aftermarket parts, they are clearly marked by their manufacturer.



If you ever have a question about a part you bought from us please call. We will walk through the issue with you and make sure you are completely satisfied before you get off the phone. Your happiness is more important to us than any deception might be worth... besides, that would be illegal. The way we do business may be boring, but it is the right way, and our customers seem to appreciate it.

1946 Chevy Suburban "pre" SUV

What a great looking SUV, from before the term was even coined. Detroit turned out some serious steel back in the day! When this truck rolled off the assembly line, the parent company of Autopartstomorrow.com had been providing GM parts to GM dealerships for 20 over years!!

Today's SUV's have a few more working parts than those of yesteryear, but you can still get GM parts from us, overnight, if you are in the Eastern US. Give us a shot for your auto parts needs, and you may be with us as long as this Suburban has been around.

Autopartstomorrow

Is This Part Original Equipment?

The answer to this question is becoming more obscure each year. We are an authorized distributor of, under contract with, ACDelco and Motorcraft. Our business model, beginning in 1924, is to play our role in the distribution chain for GM and Ford parts divisions. As such we buy millions of dollars in auto parts each month straight from the manufacturers regional warehouses so that we will have them locally available to dealerships in our areas. If you take your vehicle to a GM or Ford service department in our area, and they need a part that is not in stock, they will pick up the phone or order that part online from our parent company... and we will put it in a delivery truck and get it to them ASAP. Even if it comes from their stock, if it is ACDelco or Motorcraft, chances are they got it from us.

Now back to the complicated part of the question. Over the years GM and Ford have slowly changed the process by which they have their parts manufactured. It used to be that most parts were actually made in their own plants. Little by little they have offered the rights to supply these parts to other manufacturers who agree to build the parts to their very strict engineering guidelines, at the cost needed (a bidding process). As such, it is possible that the actual OE part that comes in a Motorcraft or ACDelco box may be marked as a Standard or Four Seasons or any other manufacturer. As an example, I was speaking with a woman just the other day who said the original ECM on her Pontiac Vibe had a Toyota label on it.

In today's interrelated world there are many opportunities to streamline manufacturing processes and save on production costs by using this bidding process. It should not however cause anyone to lose faith in the actual part provided in a manufacturer box. The same stringent engineering guidelines are applied to the process, whether the part is made next door in a warehouse owned by the manufacturer, or overseas on a contract basis. The company making the part understands that if at any point there is a breakdown in the quality standards dictated, they could lose the contract and potentially be out of business. It is different than the old days, but seems to be working better in cost, quality and speed of delivery. We will stand behind these products because we have seen that they are indeed the best available for OE applications.

Why Should I Change Auto Parts Suppliers?

If we were just another auto parts store that might be a legitimate question. Autopartstomorrow.com is a different auto parts PROCESS that has been designed to save You money through OUR efficiencies.

When you buy from Autopartstomorrow you are buying from a warehouse distributor. We do not have the expense of maintaining auto parts stores all across the country. The rent, utilities, fleets of vehicles, employees, advertising, promotions, etc., the costs of running a retail business, all need to be folded into the cost ratio of the parts being sold. As such, the profit margin between what was paid for the actual auto part and what that part can be sold for needs to help pay for those expenses. As a warehouse distributor we basically have one HUGE warehouse per region, and UPS and FEDEX come to us to pick up the pallets of auto parts we ship each night.

Don't get me wrong, we still have support costs, but we keep those at an absolute minimum so we can sell our auto parts for less than the competition could even think about. We will be opening more large warehouses as we go to make sure we can get you your parts next day in every corner of the United States, but we promise to be frugal about the way we handle expansion to make sure we are always the best value for your auto parts needs. Our customers seem to think we have made the right choices so far.

Thanks !! Autopartstomorrow

How to Spot a Bad Mechanic

There are great mechanics out there, and typically their hourly rates are reasonable for the work being performed. There are however, some shops that should be avoided. Unfortunately, whenever we deal with people there will always be a wide range, and a few of those towards the bottom of the list need to be left alone. Since a majority of our customers are the other mechanics, the ones at the top of the list, they will agree... the terrible ones give the industry a bad name.

Rule #1 Ask around. Even if you have just moved into an area, there are people around you that would love to help a newcomer out. Mechanics are classically advertised by word of mouth. For every good referral you will get, you will also hear horror stories about the ones to avoid.

Rule #2 Look around the lot. Are there quite a few vehicles in various states of dismantlement? Does it look like they have been abandoned for months? Is the general condition of the premises at least organized looking. A repair shop cannot always be spotless because of the nature of the business, but the good shop owners take pride in their job and have procedures to keep the place clean and safe.

Rule #3 There is nothing wrong with checking out the Better Business Bureau for your area just to make sure there aren't outstanding complaints. Appearances can sometimes be deceiving. Dishonest mechanics can get by on appearances for a while. You don't want to be one of the victims before Rule #1 catches up with them.

Rule #4 Fear Tactics. This is one my wife ran into years ago (and I am still steamed about it). She got a coupon for an unbelievable deal on a front brake job. She asked me about it and I told her it couldn't be true ($59 front brakes-$99 all four). If it were true the brakes themselves would be of terrible quality. Anyway, like every good wife out there she felt she needed to check it out anyway. That afternoon I got a tearful call from her after the mechanic told her it would be $500 to repair her brakes and he was going to call the police if she tried to drive away because they were so dangerous. I called him, then called their corporate office in another state, and went by to get the car released.

There was NOT a safety issue with the brakes. Brake shoes have a safety mechanism built in to warn you that it is time to replace them. Most of the time when you hear that awful noise of metal on metal, it is the "chirper" tab. It is time to replace the brakes, but if you can stand the noise you have a few days to get the car somewhere for repair. The moral here is "If a mechanic uses coupons to bait you in and then fear tactics to take your money, it would be better to tow your car somewhere else". Let me add one thing here, use Rule#1 and tell everyone you know about their deceptive practices.

Mechanics should be your friend and trusted partner. There will be times that they have to share bad news with you, but knowing you can trust them makes it easier to take. There is no place for deception in the automotive trade. If you give your business and money to the honest mechanic, and tell everyone you know about the bad ones, it will be a better industry for all of us.

Car Maintenance Is Important !!

Ask any auto mechanic... the cars that have not been cleaned in forever, probably haven't had the oil changed in longer than that. Something about pride of ownership just makes people take care of things from top to bottom. It is something you should consider when you are looking at cars to buy from an individual. While you will probably get a better deal on the car as far as price is concerned, you might also have a potential problem with repairs sooner than you would want.

Now far be it from me, an auto parts salesman, to try to talk you out of buying a car that needs repairs, but it does need to be something you think about. With this in mind, I typically buy the dirtiest cars around. One of the benefits of being in the auto parts field is that I can get auto repairs done much cheaper than most others can. I can also identify which repair might be needed and which auto part it would need. I can buy a dirty run down car (without dents or tears in the upholstery) and put my blood, sweat and tears into fixing it up. Then I can drive it for a year or two and sell it for the same thing I bought it for. It is not the path I would suggest for everyone, but it works pretty well for me.

History of the GM Module

GM Module Replacement Parts

ACDelco provides General Motor brand owners with replacement parts and components, including GM module replacements which are the same original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts used in the vehicle when it was built. The use of OEM parts and equipment keeps the vehicle completely 100% General Motors and brings years of reliability and performance. ACDelco was created in 1916 by GM and Chevrolet founder, William C. Durant.

Durant was a successful horse carriage manufacturer prior to entering the automotive industry. Durant used a business strategy at the time which was unheard of, where he owned a separate division which supplied all the parts and materials needed to build the horse carriages to his carriage company. As a result of this ingenuity, Durant was able to become a leading carriage manufacturer in the nation. Durant used this same strategy at GM to create United Motors, which would later become known as ACDelco. United Motors consisted of several smaller parts suppliers, which were merged together to offer the materials and parts, including GM module components to the GM divisions.

In 1908 Durant partnered with Albert Champion to create the AC Spark Plug division of General Motors. Albert Champion had founded Champion Ignition in 1899 but had lost control of his company. Both of these companies provided spark plugs and ignition components for various automobile manufacturers and both have survived to this day. In the mid-1970s amid tough economic conditions and an oil crisis, GM merged the parts division with the spark plugs division to create ACDelco. This new division was able to reach more customers since customers were now able to purchase all of their replacement parts, GM module components and spark plugs from a single GM division.

When GM fully acquired ACDelco in 1918, it was designed to exclusively provide parts, GM module components and materials for General Motors brand divisions only. However, over time, General Motors has removed this requirement in order to reach more people by offering replacement parts for other automobile manufacturers’ vehicles. Regardless of whether a person owns a General Motors vehicle or another manufacturer, ACDelco most likely makes replacement parts and components.

Newer model General Motors vehicles include the use of complex computer systems which regulate many features including the ignition system. The ignition system which uses remote starting and other modern features is just one type of GM module in use in the vehicle. These new advanced ignition systems were created to provide more options for the general public when selecting an automobile, which were built by ACDelco.

Original Equipment GM Part# from ACDelco

Keeping your General Motors vehicle running correctly is important in order to extend the life of the vehicle. Many people purchase a new General Motors vehicle and will follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. However, other people will only perform oil changes and do little else to maintain the vehicle. Not following regular maintenance schedules can lead to parts wearing out sooner and needed replaced more often. The use of GM part# to replace worn out parts for people who seek original equipment is often obtained from ACDelco.

ACDelco is the parts manufacturing division of General Motors which was founded in 1916 as a separate division which manufacturers all parts and components to build General Motors vehicles. ACDelco was originally founded under the name of United Motors by General Motor’s founder William C Durant. Durant also was the founder of Chevrolet as well as the owner of Buick. Durant had previously owned a successful carriage company where he used a separate division, which he also created, to supply all the materials and parts to the primary company for building the carriages. Following this same concept is what led Durant to create United Motors in order to supply all General Motors brands with GM part#.

United Motors was founded by combining several smaller parts manufacturers and suppliers, including Remy Electric Company, Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company, New Departure Manufacturing Company, and Hyatt Roller Bearing Company. In 1908, Durant had partnered with Albert Champion, the founder of Champion Ignition Company to create AC spark plugs; a division of General Motors after Albert Champion had lost control of his company. AC spark plugs were providing GM part# ignition components as well as spark plugs to all General Motors automobile divisions.

Prior to 1918, United Motors was able to sell parts to other manufacturers, including Ford, which General Motors did not like. After 1918, United Motors was fully acquired by GM for a long period prevented the division from manufacturing parts for other competitors. By 1944 the company had become fully integrated into General Motors providing GM part# for all General Motors divisions. In the 1970’s the Delco name was used with various GM divisions and grew in popularity with consumers, and as a result United Motors became United Delco. Delco is an abbreviated version of Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company which was one of the original companies used to create United Motors.

In the mid-1970s, General Motors was looking into ways to combine operations and cut back no expenses amid the economic conditions occurring at the time, including an oil crisis. As a result, GM merged together AC spark plugs with United Delco to create ACDelco, because both divisions were supply the same customers and combing operations would mean better exposure for GM part# made by both divisions.
GM part# are available online from Auto Parts Tomorrow, www.autopartstomorrow.com, which stocks ACDelco brand parts available for all General Motors brands as well as other automobile replacement parts. The company offers free shipping on orders over $50 as well as a low price guarantee, which provides that if a customer finds the same for someplace else for less, Auto Parts Tomorrow will refund the difference plus $1.

2012 Volkswagen Beetle Commercial

The new Beetle has been unveiled now and people have mixed reviews as to what they believe it's popularity might be. You have to admit though, their commercials have gotten much better. Between Volkswagen, the Korean manufacturers (KIA and Hyundai) and a newly energized Big Three (GM, Ford and Chrysler/Dodge), the Toyota's and Honda's of the world need to take note. Things are getting interesting around here again!

GM Sensors

Newer model General Motors cars, trucks, SUVs and crossovers all use computer systems and components in order to provide for optimal operating conditions and achieving the best performance. The computer systems function in a manner where data is fed into the computer and the computer processes this data to make adjustments to the operating conditions of the engine as well as other systems on the vehicle. One part which aids in taking data readings is a GM sensor and information collected is fed back into the computer.

A GM sensor can be found in several different areas on the vehicle and could include oxygen sensors, air pressure sensors and temperature sensors. Oxygen sensors are used to adjust the air and fuel mixture in order to obtain the best gas mileage possible. When the oxygen sensor malfunctions, inaccurate data is fed to the computer which could result in an increase in fuel consumption and decreased gas mileage. Air pressure sensors feed data about the different air pressures in the tires and ensures that correct air pressure levels are maintained.

Maintaining proper air pressure in the tires is important to extend the life of the tear, ensure for uniform tread wear and maintain higher levels of gas mileage. When one tire loses air pressure, A GM sensor reading will feed this data to the computer, which will then display a check tires message on the dash display in the vehicle. It is a good idea to stop driving and check the tire pressure on all the tires at that point, because a tire which is losing air could have a nail or other object in it and could result in a blow out if it is left unchecked.

A GM sensor is also used in General Motors vehicles to measure temperature readings for different features and systems on the vehicle. General Motors vehicles which display inside and outside temperatures use a temperature sensor to take the air temperature and feed the data to the computer which then converts this information and displays the results on the display on the dash in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.

A GM sensor used under the hood of the vehicle to measure air intake temperatures is another type of temperature sensor. As the engine heats up this sensor monitors both the engine temperature as well as the temperature of the air coming in through the air intake. Cooler air intakes temperatures help keep the engine cool and from overheating. When the outside air temperature is hot, then the cooling system on the vehicle must work harder in order to keep the engine operating and prevent it from overheating. In the event the engine becomes too hot, another temperature sensor sends this data to the computer, which then displays the results on the engine temperature gauge on the dash.

Over time sensors wear out and need replaced and can be obtain from Auto Parts Tomorrow, www.autopartstomorrow.com. This auto parts suppliers stocks over $30 million in auto parts including GM sensor replacements. The company guaranteed next day shipping for most areas and provides a low price guarantee.

Watch Out For That Truck !!

Long ago, at a now out of business local Atlanta Pontiac Dealership, they had a unique practical joke that they played on customers in the parts department. First let me pause and caution that "You should not try this at home". Underneath the GM parts counter they had installed a HUGE 18 wheeler air horn connected to a 12 volt car battery. They also wired it so that you could push a door bell type button and just about blow the glass out of the waiting area.

So picture a customer walking through the glass door, inset into the glass wall that looked out over the service lane. If the customer proved to be just a bit too meticulous about the exact color, size and fit of the part, and continued to insist that he wanted to keep looking at more parts until he found the one that perfectly matched the one from his cherry 1969 Corvette ("Don't you have one in the old style ACDelco parts box?")... the parts guys would look at each other and nod.

One of them would scream with a terrified tone and expression "That truck isn't going to stop!!" and dive behind the counter one way. Then the other would Scream "WATCH OUT!!", press the button and dive the other. When the 800 decibel horn blasted from directly underneath the customer, the reaction would be instantaneous, hilarious and almost always not fatal.

Needless to say, either the customer would become great friends because he appreciated the practical joke, or he would never be seen again. Either way it would be considered a win...
