Steering Wheel Restoration Group Purchase #2
« on: May 12, 2022, 02:45:48 PM »
Folks,
     I have to get my steering wheel restored and I saw there still seems to be a good amount of interest from others. So I have e-mailed Teresa at Koch's to get an update on pricing, number of wheels needed for discount, amount of discount and turn around time. Once I get a reply, I will provide that info. Please post name, number of wheels and colors, if interested and we'll see what we can get done. Thanks, Jim.

Update #1. Teresa got back to me this morning. Her manager is on vacation this week. She will work out the discount details with him next week when he returns. Here's what I got so far:
1. Current restoration cost: $700.00
2. Turn around time: 12 weeks
3. Shipping Address (USPS):
    Koch's
    PO Box 959
    Acton, CA 93510
4. Shipping Address (UPS/FEDEX)
    Koch's
    7650 Soledad Canyon Road
    Acton CA 93510
5. Box must include note with Customer's Name, Address and Phone Number. It must also state that this is part of the Buick Group to receive discount.
6. Customer responsible for Shipping and Insurance both ways.

6. Customer responsible for Shipping and Insurance both ways.

Update #2. So Teresa was able to provide the last of the info we needed:
1. Cost per wheel with discount: $550. Does not include any chrome repairs.
2. Number of wheels needed for discount: minimum of 5, no maximum
3. Group name, to be included with your wheel, 1964-65 Buick Skylark Wheels
4. They would like us to send the horn bar that you will be using for the wheel. This is due to fitment issues the last time.
5. We have set a cutoff date of 6/15/22 to qualify for the discount.
6. They will contact each customer when they receive your wheel.

LET'S GIT 'ER DONE!! :occasion14:

I sent a color sample in with my wheel on the last run, and they matched it perfectly.
