IAP, did we just lose another Fiat vendor?

Post by zachmac »

I know a lot of folks here aren't big fans anyway, but I noticed IAP parts was sold to Centerline in CO. From the wording of the news item on Centerline's site it looks like they are only interested in Alfas and imply, by the absence of discussion of Fiat anything, that they will no longer support Fiat parts. I've emailed them to ask but so far no response. Does anyone know any other details?

I have not received a email response from Colorado, either. In May, I ordered an upper console replacement. Was, told it was back ordered. Every time I asked IAP for a status update it was always the same "it was 2 months out". Obviously, they knew they were going to sell the business and could have told me that they had no intention to fulfill the order. Ticks me off, because I could have been looking for another replacement part this whole time.
