Ready to race!
Those who know me know that I am a Parts manager at a Vw dealership. Today a couple managers dropped by from the Western Region Parts Depot for a surprise visit. One of them happened to Dale Hawke, The General Manager of said Parts Depot. At the end of his visit, he extended the offer of a tour of the depot.
Halfway as a joke I asked if the offer was extended to Vw employees or friends and family?
He had mentioned that the Audi Quattro club had organized a GTG there once and he took them on a tour and I could do the same if I wanted.
Vw's Western Region Parts Depot is located in Ontario Ca and currently houses over 3.2 MILLION parts for our dubs and audis. It really is an amazing sight to behold when you consider the logistics needed to run such a building.
After some discussion with Mr. Hawke, he informed me that they only work 1 or 2 saturdays per month and considering they are closed on Easter weekend, they will most likely be working on April 14th.
So we are OFFICIALLY planning this GTG for that day. The tour will start at 10am and should last about an hour to an hour and a half depending on how big of a turnout we have.
I would say start showing up at 9:30 just so we can be sure everyone who wants to be there is there on time.
If you have ever wondered where your parts come from, this is a great opportunity (perhaps the oppoprtunity of a lifetime for a non employee) to see the insides of the beast.
If there is any interest in attending, Please let me know.
The Warehouse is located at 3095 E. Cedar St, in Ontario Ca 91761
If there is any more information needed, Please feel free to let me know.
