I purchased an engine for a 96 dodge Avenger from these Rip-offs on 6-07-04.
When I ordered the engine they said they had three available with different mileage so I chose the one that was the lowest at 32000 miles for $895. I asked for the VIN # of the engine so I could verify the mileage with a car fax, they said it would be on my receipt when the engine arrived.
Upon arrival the engine had a smashed oil pan, the distributor was missing, 4 broken bolts in the block in different locations and a bent flywheel. I called them about the problems and also informed them that the VIN # was not on my receipt, Shawn's response was, (they are supposed to tell me when someone wants a VIN number) in other words, so they know they need to cover their butts / tracks! They supplied me with a VIN # which I promptly checked against the VIN # stamped on the block and found it to be bogus or a lie.
I then ran the correct VIN from the block and the one they gave me on CAR FAX at a cost of $24.95. The VIN # they gave me on the phone was for an engine out of New Mexico that had been in a totaled car 2 1/2 years earlier, the VIN # I actually received was an engine from a car wrecked in their own little town of Milwaukee, WI.
When the mileage was recorded at the crash site the odometer reading was over 96000 Miles, almost three times the mileage of the engine I was supposed to receive.
Long story shortened. I NEVER got a dime out of these freaks for damaged parts or labor, not to mention the difference in the price of a 32000 Mile engine and a 96000-mile engine. All they would do is cuss, yell and hang up the phone on me, I even paid $50.00 to an internet service to look into it to try to recover some of my losses, NOTHING.
If you deal with these people after reading these posts, good luck because you are going to need it!
