Mothers in Alberta

**audio1der** · 01-29-2004, 11:43 AM

Not for you Mothers who we love, but the Mothers products we love- where the heck can I find a good selection of product in Canada(Alberta to be more exact)?

Most of their "authorized dealers" carry limited product; some who are listed are not even dealers!

Canadian Tire cannot order anything they do not stock (even their Business Class dept.), and Acklands ordered Meg`s #82(part# 8232) when I asked for Mothers part# 08232- LOL!

I want their 32oz Showtime refill, but would like to avoid buying over the internet if possible. Any help, fellow Canucks?

I sent this to our guy who covers Canada.

I`ll let you know.

Thank you, Forrest.

Sincerely appreciated.

Try Central Auto Parts in Calgary. THey can special order it (and they haven`t placed their season load-in order yet, so getting it for you shouldn`t be a problem).

Hi Forrest,

Any distributors for Edmonton, Alberta?

Thanks,

Stan

Uh oh... I was looking at this exact product too. I just never got around to ordering any as I`m still using up other QDs and well, it`s winter now...

Did you ask the store, or did you ask through the Keystone automotive catalog? (They have to phone Ontario for Keystone stuff.) I even got a price for that product (good deal BTW) and the only worry I had was that I would have to order in a whole case of it, which was the problem I had trying to order a air freshener once.

Guardian - I`ll ask about Edmonton.

That`s not Grainger as in Acklands-Grainger is it?

They don`t look like a detailing products type of store...

Acklands does have detailing supplies, but they and Greggs and Bumper-to-Bumper are the kind of stores where they don`t have a fancy showroom or storefront. Its more like warehouse business. You have to go up to the counter and ask for what you`re looking for because its probably not on the shelf out front. And of the stuff that IS out on the shelf, they usually don`t have price tags or bin labels anywhere so you have to go up to the counter anyways just to get a price. I find as an individual (ie. not representing a business account) going to those stores is a PITA, but you can still find good deals there occasionally.

Ah okay, thanks.

I just know that the one store I`ve seen looked like it was mostly tools and other industrial stuff, so I didn`t think they sold anything detailing related.

That is where I went, and where they ordered Meg`s pt#8232 instead of Mothers #08232...

EDIT: Spoke to a fellow at Central Auto Parts, who directed me to Auto Value. That`s right- plain `ol Auto Value. Seems they can special order, just like Forrest said.

God bless the internet.:xyxthumbs

Hi there. I just tried to order from Acklands-Grainger and Uni-Select and they said that the part #`s come up as discontinued, ie. they aren`t orderable, and they haven`t been active for at least 6 months. I haven`t tried Bumper to Bumper yet (none nearby). Do you know of anybody that carried the paint chip repair kit in Canada? Thanks.
