My 65 Fairlane 500 is a restomod and will be my daily driver whenever I finish. Ecklers has been a huge help with the variety and unique parts that I have purchased for my ride. The website is easy to use and order parts. For the few years I have used Ecklers I don't remember ever having a problem with my orders.
Thanks, Ecklers keep it up.
I had a Corvette years ago and Ecklers always had what I needed and shipped items quickly. I just bought another Corvette and Ecklers was my first stop for parts / accessories.
Your Sales Representative Tammy was very helpful and went out of the way to answer my questions for me. I had a few questions about my order that I was not sure about. Tammy looked into all of my concerns and was able to clear things up for me. I really appreciate the extra effort. Your sales staff are always wonderful to deal with whenever I call, Thank You! Edgar
The picture of the sending unit screws shows copper sealing washers. I received the screws with plain steel washers which are useless for sealing tank unit screws.
I generally find prices at Eckler's are higher than other sites. On this particular order the shipping was lower but the product price comparable.

Product was lost before it was delivered to the post office, ordered thru Ecklers as their delivery date was advertised when I needed the product, I will now be receiving it a week late.
Hello Robby,
Thank you for taking a moment to share your feedback with Ecklers regarding your recent order for the OPR Hose, Heater Pump to Pipe, 85-87 W/Oil Cooler. We do apologize that there was a delay in shipping the pump to you. We reviewed the tracking and we do see where the label was created on 3/6 and there was no movement until 3/12. Your frustration is understandable.
We do see that you reached out to our Customer Service Team, and they were able to initiate a lost package for you and had a replacement ship out.
We reviewed the tracking on the original order and the replacement order, and it looks like both of them are set to be delivered before the end of the day tomorrow 3/17.
If you receive both, you can contact our Customer Service and we can send you a return label to return one of the pumps to us.
Due to this situation and the delays you experienced, we issued a credit to your Ecklers account. This credit can be used on a future order and is valid until 6/30/2026.
Thank you,
Amy
I was searching the Internet for my trucks body panels and came across Ecklers. The inventory was extensive for many models and prices were more than fair. I haven't received my panel as of yet, but the online experience was very smooth. Shipping is with FedEx and that's a plus. Delivery appears to be fast as well. At this time, I can say I will use Ecklers again.
Communication with Ecklers very slow due to
E mail issues which require a password etc., etc.,
Etc., on and on... very confusing. Phone number
Provided is all that should be required to streamline process.
Several weeks ago, I ordered tailgate hinges for a Ford F 250 long bed. I received what appears to be hinges for a short box. I sent a note to Eichlers that they were the wrong part, but sent me two more again. Still the wrong parts
Hello Robin,
Thank you for your recent order and for taking the time to share your feedback with Ecklers. We were disappointed to hear that the Tailgate hinge you ordered is not working on your 1969 F-250.
We show that these hinges are designed for 1938-197 2Ford Stepside (Style-side) beds, including the 1969 F-250. They are generally not for wide "Fleetside" (Styleside) beds, but specifically for the narrow, separate-fendered beds. Does your F-250 have the stepside beds?
We will be happy to set up a return for you, if you would like a refund for the item. If you would like to find hinges that will fit, you can reach out to our Sales team, and they will be happy to assist you in finding the correct hinge for your truck.
If you would like to set up a return, please contact us and we can get the return initiated for you.
If you have any additional questions or comments, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you,

It was great not so much his fault but more of the description. Not enough description like what it's made of how it attaches. Thought I was purchasing a much better fender flare. Instead I got what every other competitor has and Eckler charges twice as much. Is there any way to get a partial refund to match other competitors price?
Hello Bryan,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with Ecklers regarding your recent purchase of the Brothers Trucks Rear Fender Flare; Driver Side. We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the quality of the item and you were dissatisfied with the product information we shared on our site. We do want our customers to be satisfied with the items they purchase from Ecklers.
You asked about a partial refund, based on our competitors pricing, and we do offer price matching on the majority of our items. We price march other competitors websites, and the item would need to be:
-The same manufacturer
-The same model
-Same manufacturer SKU
Please note, we will not price match for pages like: Ebay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or any other auction style site. Also for items from JLT & S&B Filters, we cannot do a discount on these items. If you have a link for the item, showing at a lower price please send the link to [email protected] and kindly include your order information and the link. We will review the link and respond if we can approve the price match. We offer the price match up to 30 days after the purchase. We do review the link to confirm their price and shipping that our competitors offer.

Thank you,

I ordered a clutch on February 25th said I would have it in 3 days we are now going on a week and half and they dont want to send me a new part or give me a refund cause they lost the part that was supposedly shipped out to me. Don't want to help me out in anyway just make me wait longer for them in to investigate where the part went which isn't my fault got a car apart on my lift with a pist off owner asking me when his car will be done when the it should of already been back together and on the road but ecklers dont care about customer service just wait and wait maybe ill get it before the end of the month according to their multiple sales reps, never talk to the same person always someone new contacting, after this experience I will never purchase anything from them again

Arranged what I needed to get a part shipped to me quickly. Great guys to work with.
Excellent, best parts website. Remembers searches, easily compares available products, offers discounts for all not just select groups!
The trouble was finding the crown style centers to fit. And decided to wait on break conversion, getting ready for Tulsa car show
Initially I thought everything went well. When the part came in, it does not work. I contacted the seller and they informed me I needed to replace the entire evaporator system. I could not just replace the controller. I have made numerous attempts to contact the seller to return the part I received. I have had no luck getting through. This will not go well for a good review from me. I will not use Ecklers again. I do hope someone will contact me so I can return this item. I gave all the information needed. The salesperson, Sam C. Is not accepting my calls. He should have informed me I needed to request the entire evaporator system so this controller would work on my truck. I would have purchased it. Now I will not purchase anything else from this company. This is bad business.
Hello Robert,

The engine gasket kit had been out of stock for a couple months.
I was notified when it had become available at the end of February. I opened the Ecklers website, selected the kit for the engine, ordered one and completed the payment process with ease. It has always been a simple and trouble free process.
Good website, good experience, great products!
Great products, great service. I will continue to use Ecklers as my go-to parts supplier.
Just ordered tires from Eckler at an outstanding price - Thank you! I also picked up a '56 T-Bird a few weeks ago to restore, and Eckler's parts selection is impresive … makes keeping things correct and straightforward. Thanks, Eckler!
