No longer with BMR Suspension…. - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

It's been a pleasure working with you, Keith. Best of luck and your new venture.

As someone in a similar position as you I can understand how hard it is to make sales without pushing parts down people's throat. We're car enthusiast's not salesman!

Best of luck with everything, good sir!

Best regards,

Yep, I guess that was my "problem"!!! I couldn't have said it any better. It was really great working with you too Tyler. But I'm not dying man, I'll still be around here….just not as a vendor anymore!!!

*The_Blur* · 01-21-2015, 08:28 PM

I'm sorry to see you've been let go, but I'm impressed that you still find BMR to be your go-to brand for suspension parts. It shows that you really believe in what they do, and I respect that as a guy considering suspension parts in the future.

I worked in sales before the Navy, and not many people know the specifics of it here, but I'm sure you can guess. In any case, I made some significant changes when I realized I needed to grow in another direction. This is your opportunity to evaluate who you are and where you want to go once you're established in sunny Florida.

Keep your chin up. There are great opportunities ahead for you. Stay awesome.

As for the vendors in here, I have a lot of respect for your professionalism and mutual respect in a competitive industry. That kind of class will take your businesses far.

So sorry to see you let go keith, you really went the extra mile with my rear suspension needs for blown 5th gen. I specifically ordered many parts through you and you will def. be missed, you will land on your feet soon I have faith in that.

I admire your spirit, Keith. You'll be back on your feet in no time!

Hahahaha!!! That would be hilarious!!! But no, after this last move, the Wife and I are both pretty sure that we don't want to move again….ever!!!! Something will come along, I already have several applications submitted to various places in the area. I'm hoping to get back to my roots in the aviation/aerospace industry. We'll see how it goes.

NotYetLegend · 01-22-2015, 05:36 PM

Best of luck to you and your family Keith! Sorry to see you go, as many others above have said I too always choose BMR for any given part when possible and a large part of that was seeing how knowledgeable you are without being pushy. Hope to continue to see you around the forum and I hope you get a killer new job.

hkittrell · 01-22-2015, 05:47 PM

I was laid off in 2008 and was out of work for two years. I feel your pain.

Chevrolade · 01-22-2015, 05:56 PM

Your always a great help buddy , goodluck in the future

fargomike · 01-22-2015, 09:56 PM

Hey Keith sorry to hear the news . Remember things happen for a reason . Could be worse you could be up here with your ride put away until May ! Wanna trade

Keith,

Your knowledge of the Gen5 Camaro platform suspension was (still is!) Second to None!

You provided me and countless others with sound advice on both stock and BMR suspension components. Thanks to you, my 2014 SS Convertible has become quite capable in the turns and flies straight and true off the launch.

It is my humble opinion that BMR has lost a dedicated, hard working, and above all, LOYAL employee. Let's face it, in these uncertain economic times, reputation and dependability are paramount. All of the members here can purchase suspension components from a multitude of reputable suppliers. Like myself, many of them probably made up their minds to go with BMR after talking or emailing directly with YOU! I know you sold me on BMR suspension parts without the high pressure sales, and made me a repeat customer due to your outstanding knowledge and rapport with the online Camaro community.

In short, you will be sorely missed by the folks you helped during your short time at BMR. I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors! If there is anything I can do to return the favor, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Regards,

Matt

Wow Matt, that was beautiful!!! I almost teared up!!! Thank you very much for the very kind words. I will really miss talking with y'all and giving suspension advise to all my loyal customers like yourself. But I'll still be around here, so if you or anybody else would like my "newly unbiased" opinion on something suspension related, please just let me know. The new job search is in full effect, just hoping to hear back from one of several new prospective employers that I have applied to. Thanks again.
