new Keystone website -

Just had a long call with Jason  McDonald from Keystone - there are MANY things happening with the relationship of Keystone & CARQUEST Canada .... some are in place and some will be happening very soon.
-no CARQUEST upcharge - the price that Keystone charge is the price we pay
-so that opens up all sorts of things that were made impossible previously
>>>>>  such as the CURRENT PROMOTIONS ( red button )  check this out weekly
-we still have some technical issues for make our E-Cat work - have addressed these to Tim Folks & Tom Kurtz ...if we can get the supplier prefix added to the e-cat ( like K&N Filter ) then e-cat works for 95% of line --and if we can get the CARQUEST Toronto DC to STOP STRIPPING the supplier prefix from the part # ( we think they did this JUST for ease in stock pickers ) -then we get the rest of the parts ( approx 200-300 and approx 10-20 in K&N to also show ( note these few parts do show in e-cat - but since the majority do not - you disregard the data )
-look for the sliding scale for margins -the more expensive the part - the less we make - but that is COMMON SENSE
-remember that we continue to quote relative to the US Dollar --so if someone gets a quote and comes back in a week - the difference will be the USA-CDN dollar ( Click here for USA-Cdn dollar chart )

Some changes - like ability to change passwords will not be on the NEW web-page for  a day ( and if this happens - wow --as their IT guys can do changes that fast --compared to --well - you know )
