Just about everything
September 15, 2025

I have used Eckler's for a long time, more so in the last couple months because I found a new project car. Some of the prices are outrageous, others are extremely generous. Find the balance, and Eckler's is pretty good (I am sad so many of the online vintage car shops have merged - I assume private equity firms, but who knows). Shipping is reasonable, and the one return I've had went smoothly (it was damaged in transit due to poor packaging - manila envelope instead of a box). They credit your store account and not your form of purchase, so be aware of that if you need to return an item.

Called Ecklers to find 1967 oil filter replacement. Taney C was very responsive finding my part in a few minutes. I would highly recommend Ecklers.

Review of recent interaction
September 13, 2025

Quickly was able to navigate and order the parts I was looking for. Attempted to use the chat feature but was directed to leave my number and look for a return call from a certain area code. Still no call.
Ordered the parts anyway but would have liked to order more. Could not verify so did not order

Missing parts
September 8, 2025

Ordered fuse jumpers for my 68 firebird that would fit in my car's fuse box to add a circuit. The fuse jumpers showed up in the package but the connectors with the wire that plug in to the fuse jumper were not in the package.
