Sight is quirky a lot. Why don't you have free shipping? I select it on my checkout every time and it charges me anyway. American Muscle is free over $150.

Search Feature Bites
September 27, 2025

The searching feature just stinks for the user. Keywords, years, just searching really is not good because the keywords do not seem to filter items. It wastes my time and frustrates users. Improve it.

Inner tube
September 26, 2025

I bought two inner tubes for a model A pickup. I paid for them and expect to receive them in a few days. The price was high but reasonable. I am happy.

If Ya need it you will find it here
September 25, 2025

I was a quality Fuel Sender for my Corvette Silver Anniversary Edition I bought in 1978 - Ecklers gave me 3 options to choose from based on how much I wanted to spend. I did not want a Cadillac version - wanted mid range - found it bought it and also received my military discount. I will return in the future when I am searching for another part.

Outstanding help from Dante V
September 25, 2025

I called Eckler because I was trying to order some parts and was not able to get that task completed. Dante was great and very knowledgeable. He was able to guide me through the entire process and now I see the items have been shipped. Thank you Dante for your help and your expertise. It was a very good experience and I will return if I need more items.

Cake panels for a 1969 Camaro
September 24, 2025

I was having trouble finding kick panels with speakers that was in stock called two other places they was both out 60 to 90 days on backorder so I called eckler instead of just placing an order online. Talk to Joe and he said the speakers was in stock and had plenty of them. I waited a couple days that was on the 10th. I waited a couple days and I never got an email saying they shipped so I called and talked to someone else and they said that they will be on backorder and will not ship out until the 24th the whole reason I ordered them is so I could get them within a week or two.

Hey Stan,
I'm sorry for the long processing time of your radio speakers. I understand how frustrating this can be since this item is shipping directly from the supplier to you, rather than being an in-house item, which does take longer. I apologize again, and I'm glad the product shipped ahead of the original 'get it by' date and will be delivered today, on 9/18. I have issued you promotional credit to use on a future purchase, either online or over the phone, due to the inconvenience. If you need anything else, please let us know.
Thank you,
Allison

Hello,
I'm sorry that you only received the 1 decal and it was advertised as a pair. I left you a voicemail advising that we refunded you for the 1 decal you received since I saw you had ordered another one already and it was on the way to you. I also have my product data team looking into this for us to determine what went wrong. I apologize again and if there is anything else that we can assist you with please feel free to let us know.
Thank you,
Allison
