Ought a truck engine for a 1997 f-250LD (4.6litre romeo) for 1060.00 shipping included, The auto repair shop had called me and told me that they did not have that moter any longer, after haveing my 1060.00 dollars, they had told me they found me one from AP auto parts in newyork but it had 40K more miles on it, AP auto parts had told auto repair shop that was fine but im not going to pay the same price for one with 40K more miles, auto repair shop refunded me 85.00. And i told them to send it.
From there it was A&P auto parts responceabilty to get it to me. I was told i would receive this engine at my house 3 to 5 days. So 8 days later i was beganing to wonder where it was. I called them (AP auto parts) owner said we shipped it. And gave me name of shipping company. Which is his job. So i called the shipping company to find out where it was and when i was going to get it. They told me it has been sitting there for 2 days, come and get it. (70 miles away) from there i had called auto repair shop and told them what was going on,
I agreed to go get it and auto repair shop refunded me 75.00 for shipping problem. And apoligized. (very nice people) i called the shipping company back and told them i would come and get it, they told me they had a truck coming to my town and they could meet me, i agreed. I met the truck at a place near my house, the engine was wrapped and on a pallet and we put it on my truck and i brought it home. I got it off the truck and unwrapped it and discovered it looked like a big pile of rust and broken steel.
There was so much wrong with this engine i could not beleive someone would take the time to wrap it and ship it. I called quilty auto parts and talked to a manager, his name is kurt, very nice guy! I explained what was wrong with the engine, exaust bolts broken off in both heads, a total of 9 out of 16. Exaust manifolds where damaged due to long period of broken bolts, throutle body bent due to strapping it to pallet, oil filter adapter not, even there, power steering pump not there, engine sold as COMPLETE ENGINE, fuel rail cut by saw due to taking it out of reckage, 3 spark plugs broke off in damaged heads, mouse house in throutle body houseing, fan not there, fan clutch not there, flywheel bent, due to pallet it was sitting on for shipping, kurt said WOW. And asked what he can do. Told him i wanted a refund on what it would cost to repair these things, all he could do is give me 150.00, and told me to call A&P auto parts to see what they can refund for me, kurt has put A&P auto parts on a black list and is no longer getting parts from them, as NOBODY SHOULD!!!
I tryed to get ahold of A&P auto parts by phone and email, by phone i always seem to get disconnected, and they never respond to my emails, A&P auto parts sucks and wish for nobody to go through what i did. I kept this engine for the soul purpose of reporting it to as many rip-off and scam places as i can, I am getting this engine repaired at my own cost and defintley keeping my recipts! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE IDIOTS!!!
