I was told it would just plug in. And I wouldn't have to change ends of wires. Not true!
Ordered and waited anxiously to receive.
Received this afternoon only to discover that I was sent a black one! So disappointed. Now comes the fun part of returning and reordering. This is unacceptable.
The parts i wanted. Not sure why they want me to keep typing words into this form. It's actually making a reasonable transaction into a chore. So my advice to anybody reading this is never agree to completing a survey. And save the surveys for big orders - not like 4 rubber inserts for bumper guards.
Stay away from the scratch and dent items. Purchased a trunk lid ($20 off) for what looked like a small dent on corner. After receiving all 4 corners are smashed in, and the main seam is as wavy as as Atlantic Ocean. Buyer beware folks!
Hello Corey,
I'm sorry you got a very damaged trunk lid! I tried to call and left a detailed voicemail. I would like the chance to make this right if possible. I reviewed the photos of the trunk lid at our warehouse before it left. The condition before it left was used, but the corners looked to be in good condition and overall didn't look terrible. It seems to have been damaged in transit. Still, even being damaged in transit, I'd like the chance to fix this.
For starters, I refunded the shipping cost back to your original payment method. For the product- I have a couple options: I would be happy to discount it for store credit if you are interested in keeping as is. If not, I could return it for a full refund as store credit or back to your original payment method- whichever you would prefer. However you would like us to process - keeping as is or return - I'd be happy to process it. My direct extension is 1320, plus any of our customer service representatives and we would be happy to help as well!
Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you, and issued a voucher for your next order that can be used online or over the phone. Also, besides this if there is anything else we may assist you with please feel free to reach out to me.
Thanks,
Desiree
Poor search engine results in your app. I could not find these parts with logical word searches, so went to Google, which found them in a selection of suppliers including Ecklers. So I selected from their list and copied in the title to load the correct product in Eckler's app. Not good, since people generally lack patience and move to easier places.

Ordered a set of rear trailing arm shims. ETA on delivery was a Monday, and the shipment arrived on Saturday. Very good service.
I ordered the Dash Pad cover. Stated it would ship out next day and now its telling me a week later that it is not even expected to ship till the 31st. Then they ask for a review and I have not even received the one thing that I have ordered already. Can not be a good sign.
Hello Darryl,
I'm sorry about the delay in getting the dash pad cover! After reviewing your order, it looks like this is a special order item coming directly from the manufacturer. I'm reaching out to them to see if we can expedite shipping this for you, and will email any updates we receive.

Arrived as promised in a timely manner. Easy to order online.
Placing order was easy, we will see on how condition of items are upon delivery. Hopefully this will be a good transaction since it is my first time ordering from Ecklers. Please do not disappoint me. I will be doing more restoration.
Ordered bumpers for the door frames on 2 door. Easy to find and order and they will prevent door glass from cracking due to door closing...already happened once! Always find what I need and I know I could get help from a person if I needed it..
The part was readily available from many different sites and vendors but Ecklers had it for the best price, and best shipping price also.
Josh was very nice good phone manners but to long in getting my order still have not received confirmation
Lynn,
I have left a voicemail regarding your review. Please feel free to return my call if I can assist further.
Thank you

I got everything within a reasonable amount of time and all parts seemed to be packaged well without damage.
I order for a number of vendors. When make a request to verify receipt please include what was ordered.
These fit very well and do keep the carpet from being beaten up..
Thomas,
I sent you a follow up email regarding your review, at your earliest convenience please feel free to respond to me and I look forward to assisting you.
Thank you
Kelly
I'm going to cancel this order unless you honor your BEAM25 code!

Hello Anthony,
I'm sorry the antenna wasn't an easy plug and play! I tried to call and left a voicemail. If you'd like to return it, we would be happy to process that for you. Also while reviewing your order, I saw the shipping time was slower than we anticipated, so I issued a refund back to your original payment method.
