Went for the Nth round w/ them today. Guy says its shipped but doesn't return my call w/ tracking. Call back and get another guy who looks it up on the computer and says it didn't ship until today. First guy calls back says thats all wrong and gives me more BS and said it'll be here by Fri. (BTW, This is the third time I've heard a shipping promise from them.) About 5 calls back and forth later, I told the guy to shove it and cancel the order. The tracking # doesn't pull up anything. He pulled all the sleazy salesman pitches to get me to keep it. IMO the guys are a bunch of F-ing crooks. I'll let the car rot and make the wife walk before I buy anything from them.

They are great for brake rotors, H4s, etc. Never had any issues with them. But as others have said, their tranny prices are a little hard to believe.

Its gets better. I just got a call back asking "are you sure you want to cancel... Is there anything I can do to change your mind". No.

FWIW, I often get rotors & parts though Wonger if worldpac carries it.

Sounds like my experience with them when I got a "rebuilt" steering rack. The silver paint was a nice touch though.....

Ever check Jasper?
I have no data points on them, but their signs are all around locally.
