After searching online for a seller of auto accessories I settled on autoEQ.ca to purchase side window vents for my 2013 Caravan.
Before purchasing I did a google search for reviews, scams, etc. I could find nothing to indicate that this seller was not reliable. So using my Visa I spent 112.00
I purchased a name brand part from autoEQ.ca the deflectors is made by "weathertech" it does have a 3 year warranty, and is warranteed against defects and they do have a Geat name in the auto accessory industry...
It is the company that sold it to me thats at issue here. The parts did arrive quickly, but what I got was defective.
During install the part shattered in 2 seperate places... Fair enough. Sometimes stuff happens. I immediatley contacted weathertech whom in turn told me to just contact the merchant who sold to me and I would be taken care of... This is when the games began...
I sent autoEq.ca an email to their advertised "24/7 customer service" address... Then again the next day... Then the 3d day. No response! I found a phone# for them via yellow pages, I called and got a voice mail. I left a detailed, polite message... No response... I waited a day and left another message, again no answer...
So then I got creative! Posing as a customer I emailed them from a different email, using a different name... What do you know!!! I received a reply within 45 minutes! So I emailed them again using this fake name, asking some silly question about a part, just to see if Id get another reply... Again I got a response within 1 hour!
So I sent an email telling them who I was, and asking for some help with the defective part they sold me... All contact stopped.
I want the world to now that these guys are scammers who only want your money... in hind site I see that there is NO phone number on their very professional looking webpage and that to me is now a huge warning sign... Hindsite is 20/20
I guess Ill go thru my credit card company to get satisfaction... in the meantime I want to post everywhere that I can, warning all to stay away from autoEQ.ca
