Title: Auto Parts Giant.com - do not use !
Post by: Hobie on July 25, 2007, 07:10:39 AM
You may be temped by the lower prices and free shipping but stay away from this company.  Add me to the list of being snookered.  Look at the list of complaints.
1.   Charged credit card immediately when order was submitted and prior to shipping
2.   No tracking number available until after 5 days.  Not on published website told verbally on phone.
3.   Even though they answer phone, they will not look up order until after 11:00am
4.   Told me order shipped but cannot provide any details.  From which warehouse, any backorders, no tracking number (even after 5 days!) , etc.
5.   Rude on the phone when asked these questions.
6.   Still no order information or parts after 7 days.
7.   Thank goodness for credit card company who reversed total charge immediately!

Ohh gee, since that's all it takes to make yourself a trusted megabuck operation maybe I should rewrite or companies profile from being a small family run safety committed operation to a huge mega-bus outfit with the capabilities to move an army any time any day! LOL!

Hey, Bryce,

Why limit yourself to charters, why not go into the Bus Conversion business with 20 bays, all with pits, the latest in electronics and diagnostics and also engine conversion to run on Veg oil and/or used beer?

That way you can cover all the bases! 
;D
Just a thought!

BK and Dallas,
i'm interested in a set of Jakes for my 8V92T, which i posted on another topic. 

i also just tried 60 gal of biodiesel on my way to elkhart. But now that i see you have the ready bays and equipment, i'm more interested in the used beer fuel change, which i think i can get free fuel rather easily as i'm working on it right now.
when can i have the conversion done and jakes done at your high class, mega garage??   ::)

Ah yeah DALLAS, When can he schedule this in to be done ?!?
Last I heard bays 1&2 are reserved exclusively for KY Lakeside Travel, Just For The Fun Of It, and West Tennessee Motorcoaches as per the merger agreement. And then I heard bays 3 thru 19 were off the schedule until construction plans are executed. And Bay 20 is reserved for Dallas's sleeping quarters when Cat kicks him oughta the bus and Kumho won't let him sleep on the porch! But then I am always the last to know about changes in the structure of things around here! LOL!
