I don't get the hate here. Half the people online sound like snowflakes with one bad word. This place picked up right away when I called. When I asked how he was doing he actually asked back and said parts, then got straight to helping. Simple, honest service. I'm coming back when I need parts again.

Honestly, this place saved me a ton of money and hassle. The guy working there knocked a good chunk off the price right away, and by the time I got there, the part was already pulled and sitting on the counter. They even let me take a quick look to make sure it was the right one before I handed over cash. If you’re hunting for a part and don’t want to get ripped off, this is the spot.

Bought a 5.7 Vortec motor, and it was a mess right out of the gate. The distributor clamp wasn’t even tight, oil was leaking from the manifold, and the gaskets needed replacing. Then I pulled the manifold and found the spider injection hold-down clamp wasn’t fully secured—when I backed it out, half the threads stripped. Oh, and they’re missing hardware. The mileage they listed? Probably a lie. I’ve put in hours trying to get this thing to run right, and it’s still not there. ---

Let me save you the headache—this place is a total scam. They don’t do refunds, only store credit, and the parts they sell are often junk. I drove 2.5 hours just to get ripped off for $100 on something that didn’t even work. The guy on the phone was downright nasty, and they didn’t even have what I needed. If you value your time and money, skip this dump entirely. They’re lucky I didn’t leave a worse review. ---

The customer service here is straight-up awful. The person answering the phone was rude, unhelpful, and acted like I was wasting their time. I don’t know how this place is still open—if this is how they treat people, they don’t deserve any business. Run the other way. ---

These guys are straight-up scammers. I called, asked about a part, and they quoted me $250. Then they charged my card $100 before sending me to a different location—Mars Auto Parts—where they hit me with a $350 bill. On top of that, I had to drive 20 extra minutes, and the whole experience was a nightmare. Rude, dishonest, and a total waste of time. Don’t bother with this place. ---

I was relieved when they had the part I needed—until the wait started. They said it’d take 30 to 60 minutes to pull it. An hour in, they told me the parts puller was going to lunch, so I’d have to wait longer. Three hours later, I finally got the part, but no brackets like they promised. Not a single discount for the half-day I lost. And the price? Double what I’d pay elsewhere. Based on the other reviews, this is just how they operate. Avoid if you can.
