Horrible customer service the female receptionist is rude and lacks professionalism. My husband and I bought a transmission from them. They agreed to deliver it the next day. My husband called to make sure it would be delivered as planned. Instead of checking if everything was in place, she responded with a condescending tone saying if it’s on the schedule it’ll be delivered. The transmission was damaged!!! And DIDNT GET DELIVERED! We did NOT get notified by her. The shop called and notified us it wasn’t there. Now our repair will be delayed and we will have to come out of pocket more for a rental. 😡BAD BUSINESS NO PROFESSIONALISM NO ACCOUNTABILITY they also have not offered any discount for their discrepancy!

Worst customer service I’ve dealt with in a long time. Women who’s operating the phone wouldn’t even care to listen to the stock # for a part and just mocked me for asking a question. Terrible and rude.

I find this business to be extremely misleading and the costumer service was very poor not willing to help not to mention disrespectful when asked to resolve issues. I would not recommend you will be disappointed if you do business with them.

Prices are so high and they give you hassle when you want a refund. The lady is also very rude. Would literally hang up the phone when you try to negotiate.

My dad is a CDT, Master Technician. A CDT is considered the pinnacle of their craft and represents the highest level of technical certification for high-end luxury cars. We were interested in purchasing a part. &"'gftdfaAed6a6The lady representing the Dekalb Auto Salvage argued with him about the location of a part on a vehicle. We finally left ignorance to entertain herself.

They lie about the time the parts will be ready they said like 2-3 hours ….. 5 hours later when I poped back up instead of calling me they said they couldn’t get the parts until the next day then the next day they only had 1 out of the 2 parts available…. Such a horrible day when your car is out of commission and you have to find another place for the axle they took my money to get it . They did refund money but if I knew that the day b4 I would have took my business els where .
