Terrible customer service & higher prices than all competitors. I identified myself and my company when I called but I was told "we don't have time for that" when I asked them to verify the part number printed on the part they're selling before purchase. If they treat commercial customers this way I can't imagine how badly they treat the public when they ask normal questions. Plus their quoted price was nearly 50% higher than all of their competitors. Don't bother with this place, apparently they're "too busy" to actually sell any parts.

Purchased a rim for Range Rover. Jose was excellent on phone. He also said he would match price, but did even better when I got there. He beat the price. Thanks for top of the professional sales, product, and service.

A salesman said to me, "look around and see if you can find one, brother" I let him know that i have two others in sight, then he quotes a price that is double the cost of both I have in sight. Then he tells me I am wasting his time because hi phone is ringing, and I look at my timer, 1:38 one minute, thirty eight seconds. I have spent well over a Thousand$$$ at this place over the years and now I think this salesman feels privileged. We will see! But he gave me a false name, when I called back no one hear by that name! Next time he will learn!
