Could have been better
June 20, 2025

The product is ordered is not what I received in the mail. Instead of sending me the correct product you only offered a refund of store credit. You should have sent me what I ordered.

Hello Terry,
I'm sorry to hear that your seat covers have not arrived. Since this was an open box purchase, we are unable to provide replacements, as we typically have only one of these items in stock. I completely understand your frustration, and I regret to inform you that we do not have these seat covers available in open box. According to our policy, which is stated at checkout and during the shopping process for open box items, all returns are issued as store credit within the first 30 days. If there's anything else we can help you with in the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Thank you,

Ohio

Spam emails
June 19, 2025

I got 5 spam emails for Ecklers today, and probably 15-20 since Friday last. I can't put you in the Spam folder because then I wasn't get my order updates. Every time you log in it wants you to accept all of the cookies. I also got a bunch of Spam in my inbox, leading me to believe you sold my email address.

I have been buying parts from Eckler's for the past 20 years. Mostly El Camino and G body items.
And I will continue to buy parts from them due to the quality of the parts, the fit, and the awesome customer service!

Dishonest service
June 13, 2025

I checked on line into seat covers for my 66 Bronco. On line said they were in stock, so I called to verify. The person on your end said they were in stock, so I ordered them. Now I'm being told it will be some time in August be fore I get them. Not Happy.

Sun visor repair parts 82 vette
June 11, 2025

Ecklers stopped carrying the repair"kit" for the sunvisors but all the separate parts were available at a reasonable price EXCEPT the spring cap cover, which was very expensive. That 1 piece was literally half the cost of the entire order. Disappointed

Hello Gary,

I'm sorry I missed you I just left you a voicemail advising that our website does have the incorrect price listed for the Sunvisor Spring Hole Plug, therefor I was able to discount it for you and get you a refund. You should see that refund within 3-5 business days. In the meantime if there is anything else that we can assist you with please feel free to give me a call back.

Thank you,
Allison

Ordered a part from you and Ordered from Mutton Hollow the same day, already received Mutton Hollow parts and have them installed, if I could change it I wouldn't have Ordered anything from you. I don't care if I ever receive your part or get my money back, a cheap lesson

Awesome Ecklers classic!
June 8, 2025

Customer service is professional. Ken J took my order with no issues no hassles. I feel extra good about buying items on sale for what prices originally use to cost for my classic Elcamino. Ecklers has great service and will recommend anyone to order from them for classics!

Ordered muncie shift linkages for a customers 70 monte carlo big block. Before placing order it said by Friday. After i placed order it said on Friday. Today, Friday it says by end of day Saturday. Customer wanted car for holiday weekend, promises promises!

Hello,

I do apologize that the Corvette Shifter Linkage was not delivered in the timeframe that was advertised or expected. I understand how frustrating this can be especially when it is for a customers vehicle. We take full responsibility for this and know that we can not do anything at this point but own up to our mistake. I am not sure what happened with fed ex taking so many days to deliver to you in WI from KS this is normally a 3 business day delivery which would of been Friday not Saturday. Seems it might of gotten stuck at one of their hubs. Due to the inconvenience I have issued you a refund for the shipping although this does not make up for the customer not being able to drive his car this past weekend your concerns did not fall on deaf ears. If there is anything else in the meantime that we can assist with please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you,
Allison

I was expecting a call from Maersk Freight to deliver my windshield. They just dumped it on the front porch & dashed. No doorbell or opportunity to inspect. Guess you can't expect much for $300

Hello Richard,

I apologize for the recent experience with the delivery of your windshield. With freight we do not require a delivery appointment or a signature upon delivery. The freight company can choose to reach out to notify you when they will be delivering but unfortunately this is correct they can just drop the item and go. If after you inspect it and you find something is wrong you can contact customer service and we will take care of it. I apologize again and if there is anything else that you need please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you,
Allison

I apologize if something didn't ship or arrive within the timeframe you expected. In the meantime if there is anything else that we can assist you with please feel free to reach out to us.
