“Excellent Warranty and Concise Service”

Roger F.
1/19/19

In October 2016, I replaced the fuel pump assembly on my 1996 Chevy 4.3 S-10. In January 2019, the fuel gauge became erratic. I had no receipt or paperwork but called Customer Service anyway. Using my phone number, name and address, the Customer Service Representative found my original order and within three minutes replacement module scheduled for shipment. The CSR's knowledge, skills and attitude were both courteous and professional Additionally, she reminded me that I must return the original part, within 60 days, to ensure the continuation of the warranty. The complete call lasted less than five minutes. I highly recommend 1A Auto.

“Poor Customer Service Response”

Robert C.
6/17/24

Ordered brake parts from their web site, which had specific instructions using the VIN to identify the correct parts. They did not fit. Called customer service and their response was "You should have called us first." They want as much as the order costs for a return. It's a ridiculous response because the order was made according to their instructions and then the rep states that just calling them would have cleared things up. This is incorrect, unless they were to come to my home and measure the part. Their response is completely self-serving and they obviously do not care for their customers or further orders from individual customers. Avoid these scammers is my advice. They save you nothing and could cost you much. Bad bargain.

I ordered a blower motor resistor on Wednesday night at 7:30 pm and chose the 2 day shipping, as I needed the part by Saturday. 1A Auto uses UPS for their deliveries; and although Saturday was Veteran's Day, UPS delivers on this holiday. I tracked the order and the part arrived in the UPS store near me on Friday Nov. 10, so I was sure I would get it on time, but I did not receive the part. I checked my email and saw an email from UPS saying that the item is scheduled for delivery on Monday, Nov. 13, five days after I placed my order. The cost of the 2 day delivery was $13.73, which I may as well have flushed down the toilet because this was a wasted charge. I called customer service and was told that 1A Auto has a contract with UPS and that they are contracted to deliver parts on week days only. The customer service rep stated that there is a disclaimer about 2 and next day shipping on their website stating this; and there is. However, I have never come across this issue with any other online merchant in all my years of online shopping. When I see two day shipping, that is what it means to me, and most likely to everyone else who chooses this option; so naturally, one would expect their purchased items to be at their location in 2 days period, not 2 business days. In my opinion, this is a method to milk extra money out of the consumer. I told the rep that I was not happy about having paid for 2 day and receiving my item 5 days later and that I would not be purchasing another item from 1A Auto. She told that that was my option. This shows how little they value their customers. Customer service is everything, so I can see why they are receiving such bad reviews. BUYER BEWARE, as the saying goes. I will be posting another review once I get the part I ordered noting its condition and quality.

It was easy to look for the parts. I could install by myself with the video clip. The parts are newer than my car's model. They work fine.

Will take longer to ship than it says and cost half the price to ship items back. Plan ahead a couple extra days in order to get parts in time.
