Best Price/Excellent Communication
August 7, 2025

Do remember a project from a couple of years back - I remember Ecklers had the Best price, significantly lower, for the body parts I was looking for, great communication and hours of operation. Same as my order placed today. I COULD TALK TO AN ASSOCIATE ON THE PHONE!

Ford-a-rama

Needed a catalog for reliable source of parts for when my nephew and great-nephew starts fixing up a 71 Ford F100 I gave them. Very friendly and helpful. I have a direct contact with a tech, Randal, if we need help! Have not used Eckler`s before, but am impressed so far.

I have enjoyed the 5% discount for First Responders/Law Enforcement. I was told I needed to "re-new" my discount I sent in my "Retirement ID" just as before. I am now told the retirement card issued by the Baltimore County Police Department is not valid. Why? Same card I sent in last year.

Communication Needs To Improve
July 25, 2025

Ordered parts and received parts. No problem. The problem is centered around communication from Ecklers. Never received a confirmation email, nor shipping info/updates, so I was a bit curious if the order went thru, until the box was on my doorstep. All of your competitors do this. This is my only complaint.

Resent parts order
July 22, 2025

Overall things went really well it was a rainy day so I was able to spend a lot of time looking for parts, what went right, I was able to take advantage of some sales items and the support person I was working with in the chat option was great I believe it was Logan and he was very helpful even though I pestered him several different times I got the answers I needed, the only thing that I'm not happy with is the catalog I recently received shows parts that are not available and I'm old school I ob better looking at a catalog than trying to find it on your website, so far pretty good experience and I have a lot of items in still need so you will be dealing with me in the future.

Hello Steven,
I apologize for any negative experience you had while shopping with us and using our online website. I see that you spoke with a Sales Tech and placed your order; all of the prices you paid included your military/first responder discount, so I am not sure what you are referring to. We are continuing to improve our website, so any detailed information about your shopping experience can help us do that! If there is anything else we can assist you with, please make sure to let us know.
Thank you,
Allison

I recently placed a large number of orders of various items I needed to complete my 70 Camaro restomodification. To my surprise and delight, they all showed up in about a dozen boxes, carefully packaged and not a scrstch on the bunch... all within 5 days of my order - even the glass kit arrived on time: like new and safely packaged! Quality parts, delivered fast and perfectly packaged - what else can you ask for? Highly recommended!
