Wesco was recommended to me by a family friend which specializes in restoring vintage car's and automotive customization.
The recommendation was due to my needs; I was seeking a leather dye to match a slightly worn area on the passenger seat of my Volvo Cross Country.
Myself, not trained in automotive repair or body work performed a quick search on Wesco's product offerings...Most impressed I was.
Most of the offerings are of national and international clout, used by premium automotive brands.
Confident in Wesco's offerings and expertise; I called the retailer and spoke to a gentleman by the name of Mohammad. Which was most helpful and even walked me thru process of locating my interiors paint code.
Due to the vast array of interior dyes Wesso offers, Mohammad recommended I drive the car to the retailer; too best match the interior of my interior with the offerings at Wesco....This seemed reasonable, right?
So i drove the car to the retailer.
Upon my arrival, I was greeted by a grey bearded gentleman. When I asked for Mohammad, I was told Mohammad had gone to lunch.
Unfortunately, the grey bearded gentleman communicated to me, it would not be possible to match the color of my interior with Wesco's offereings; contrary to the conversation I had with Mohammmad just a few moments earlier.
To be candid, I was rather confused and a smidge mift at the entire circumstance. Why would Mohammad walk me thru the entire process of finding my paint code, on my vin plate, then come to find out, once I arrived at the retailer...It's not possible to match my interior color to a dye sold by Wesco?
The response from grey bearded man was:
"I've been doing this for 35 years, Volvo does not have their interior colors on the cars vin plate"
Hardly what I would call accurate, per my inquiry to the dealer.
In my observation; I get the sense do-it-yourselfer's or do-it-ourselfer's
are not welcome at this establishment; Which in my opinion is extremely disappointing as Wesco offers a wide range of highly technical products. read more
