ASAP Motors
Ripoff

I purchased an engine for my 1982 Oldsmobile in February from ASAP Motors and when I called back in two days to find out if it had been shipped I was told that evidently the person I spoke to (Brent) had failed to get the order out. When I purchased it for $495.00 plus shipping I was told by Brent that it had approximately 65,000 miles on it. The person I spoke to said that Brent had a family emergency and was out of the store for a few days. The person then told me he would see to it that it shipped that day or the next. After waiting a few days the engine arrived by SAIA Motor Freight.

When I saw the engine it appeared to me that the engine had far more that the stated 65,000 miles as it was quite rusty all over. The oil pan had a hole that had been cut in the corner of it I assume to drain the oil. I paid the driver for the freight which was more than what I had been told by ASAP that the freight would be.

I then contacted my mechanic and arranged for him to pick up the engine so he could install it in my car. The car I had bought the engine for had at one time belonged to my Father who is now deceased and it is in showroom condition with the exception of the engine which I wanted to put in it to bring the vehicle back up to running condition.

After my mechanic got the engine to his shop he called me the next day to tell me that he thought I had been deceived about the engine as it was in bad condition and that he had removed the pan to install another one and found that the engine that I had bought from ASAP had two bad rods and that he would like me to come to his shop so he could show me.

When I saw the engine it did in fact have two loose rods and made a bad knocking sound when it was turned over by hand. I feel that I as well as many others have been ripped off by this company and it does no good to contact them concerning problems as they will just blow it off and tell you one lie after the other. The engine is not usable and I have contacted two attorneys who are at present working on this matter.

Do not buy from these people as they are total rip off artists and should be completely out of business. Just read the many complaints that have been reported concerning their bad business practices and you will get the entire picture.
