My husband bought a transmission off MidWest auto Recycling for his 1998 Dodge Ram. They had a used transmission with only 45,000 miles for ONLY $740.00 that included shipping. It sounded too good to be true! The man said they didn't accept credit cards only checks... Which I thought was strange. But we have been without a vehicle for so long now we needed this transmission.
We didn't have enough $ in our checking account, so we payed with a check from our Chase credit card. My husband noticed on his Chase account the check had been cashed so he tried to contact MidWest Auto Recycling to see how long it would be. He didn't know the exact web address so he googled: " mid west auto"... And usacomplaints.com showed up warning people not to buy from them! OH NO!
I called the company and asked why they had so many bad reports against them. He said, " You have us confused with Mid City Auto in Millwaukee, they got shut down and we never have associated with them." He told me I would get my transmission in 7-10 days I belived him because his website seem legitimate the company had 1800 #s and line extentions. I still wanted to research further.
I called Wisconsin's Better Business bureau and I talked to the representative who said "Yes Mid City Auto Salvage did get shut down, BUT MidWest Auto Recycling IS affliated with Mid City Auto and they just recently opened up in August and have already had 4 complaints!
