Isn't it amazing how no one answers for help with a return -- tried for two days -waiting up to 30 minutes on the phone without any sign of help. The priority should be to take care of a customer like myself that has bought for over 20 years from them. NOT ANYMORE WILL NEVER BUY FROM ECKLERS AGAIN

Terrible C/S
Forever wait times on the phone. Mis leading ads for fit and don't even buy something on eBay from Ecklers. They don't back it. I'm done buying from them!

Do NOT do any business with this company. If you have a problem or return or cancel an order THEY WILL NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY! They will LIE to you and say you will get your money in 5 to 7 days and it never gets done. I have been lied to 3 times so far and have waited a MONTH to get my refund back to my VISA credit card. It still has not been refunded.

I bought a dash pad to rebuild my 84 Corvette. It's been garage kept, out of the Sun but the glue holding on the cover material failed. I called hecklers to find out what could be done. They told me there was never a warranty on dash pads. I would check out other sources before I bought anything from them again. I know I'll probably have to use an alias now if I ever need anything, but so be it. After-sales support is important for Car Guys.

Shop elsewhere.
June 17, 2020

Wish I never ordered parts from Ecklers. Took 4 hours to get someone on phone only to find out they out source orders to different vendors which they can't reach to find order status. I'm in limbo on if or when I will receive my parts. I will purchase else where in the future. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN COMPANY. Wish I would have read reviews before ordering. On to yelp website to give them a yelp.

Very slow
June 9, 2020

Ordered rubber oil hoses for a 62 bel air 6cyl, they sent metal lines for a 58 V8. Spent an hour on the phone trying to get it solved. I had to ship parts back and pay the shipping even though they admitted it was their mistake. I re ordered the hose May 17th, still have not received them, tracked my order and they are to be shipped June 22 (over a month after ordering). Very poor service.

They don't stock anything - they piecemeal their orders out to other vendors who take no responsibilty for the accuracy of orders. I'm waiting a month now for seat covers that were supposed to be in stock, ready to ship. The carpet was supposed to be gray, it came in black. I ordered 7 different items, all 6, so far, that have been delivered came from 6 different vendors - just save time and order them yourself. Their customer service sucks, they don't want to give refunds. They just plain suck. Big time.

DO NOT BUY ECKLERS!
January 11, 2020

The worst customer service EVER! Returned two wheels they shipped to me by mistake after they agreed to reimburse my freight charges. Now they refuse to pay. Also returned defective product and they refused to cover freight back to them. These people are OUT RIGHT LIARS! Don't trust them or their product. My next review is with the BBB!

Never received item!
November 26, 2019

I ordered an exhaust system from Ecklers. They said it would arrive in 7-10 business days. I waited for 3 weeks, then I sent an email to customer service. NO Response. Called customer service - was told that it would be dropped shipped from another supplier. Waited an additional 10 days. I sent another email to company - NO Response. Finally I had to contact Paypal (which I used). They tried to contact the company, but received no response. Paypal ended up refunding me the purchase price. Never again will I deal with them.

Don't buy from Ecklers! They lost my first order, and I had an order number! Then, it took several days to get it cancelled and re-order the item. Then, after no communication from them, I called 5 days later to see why my 2nd order hadn't shipped, and I was told it was on back order for two months. I decided to wait the two months because their description stated that is was made to the exact specifications of the original, by the original supplier to GM.

The part was finally delivered after waiting two months and it WAS NOT to the exact specifications as the original. They also had the part on sale when I finally received it, but wouldn't honor the sale price. Do yourself a big favor and buy from Amazon, EBay, RockAuto, Corvette Central, Southern Auto Parts, or several other quality companies that will take care of you. Ecklers doesn't deserve your money, and you'll get better treatment elsewhere.

Lost my buisness
November 1, 2019

After spending over 3 thousand dollars ove a period of 2.5 months i purchased a front bumper that fit pooly and called in for a return, no problems, Order a much higher one fit great but when it came to making it right in my shiping cost they fell short. Lost my buisness over $60 or $70. I restore many older corvettes so in the long run it will cost em. But short story is very bad buisness on their part. Just purchaces a ste of glass t tops from one of their competitors $1274. 00 they could have made had they made it right on s small amount of shipping. I would say buyer beware an shop somwhere online that will appriciate your buisness. There are many others selling quality vette parts. I acctualy saved $155.00 on the glass t tops from one of their competitors. As a shop owner i urge to shop around.

Thanks to ecklers, I drove 400 miles to put on the air intake for my 80 year old retired military father's Corvette to find the part was defective. Was on the phone for more than a hour. Ecklers does everything they can not to give back your money. Poor customer service. They insisted I send pictures of the item they neglected to quality control. Then never called back. I had to file a dispute with my credit company and go buy the part from someone else.Do yourself a favor and don't buy anything from these crooks

Back Order
August 21, 2019

Not sure if Ekler's (Ricks Camaro) is getting to big to fast to properly manage the company but I'm done. Wrong parts, no parts and no communications. Ordered vacuum modulator line that showed in stock. Didn't hear anything for a couple of days so I called. 20 minutes on the phone to find out it's on back order and I should get it in about 6 weeks! I need it now! That's for the heads up. Website still show they have them in stock! Stay away from any of the Ekler Companies.
