If not, I will be calling back. Then my daily sits longer.

I really need to speak with a car technician. It’s for an order I placed involving an oxygen sensor for my 2015 Chevy Sonic, 1.4 turbo engine. I won’t pay to ask a question concerning orders I bought.

Missing parts

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had bought strut mounts for my car, which was supposed to come with nuts, bearing, and washers.

One of the two mounts came with all of the hardware, but the other one did not. I had issued for a replacement to get what was described, and for what I had paid for.

But the replacement they sent was also missing the hardware.

I tried to issue another replacement, but the website had said that since I had multiple defective products, that they were uncomfortable sending me another one. The only brightside is that I got a refund for the one strut mount.

I would honestly rather be sent the correct thing, especially after describing what was wrong the first time.

My guess is that they have room temp IQ individuals packing the products and dealing with the replacements, cause how else can you mess up on the same thing twice?

View full review
Pros:
  • An option for those who have old vehicles
Cons:
  • Messes up orders and replacements

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Find your parts somewhere else if you can. But I know your options are limited if you have an old car.

Preferred solution: I have a Chevrolet S-10 1995 4.3L engine and need a Central Port Fuel injection. From my understanding it says I can send mine in and have it rebuilt. Is that correct?

I didn't receive but half of my order. After a month of back-and-forth emails, they tell me the time limit for me to file a claim is up and there's nothing I can do.

They failed to show me proof of all my parts being delivered and also tell me they are not responsible. If they plan on getting business like this, I can only hope that future consumers take this in mind when dealing with them.
