I have a 2013 Ford focus SE that I unfortunately bought crappies front suspensions with through a known website ask them for a refund they would not give it which was a bad experience however I decided to take a chance in order with parts geek the right passenger suspension drove through the snow and through the hell and was quiet as a church mouse so I ordered the driver side now to replace the crappy ones I had and the car is running like a dream instead of a nightmare their customer service people are very very friendly and accurate and if I was to say one thing to potential customers do not go anywhere else how can you lose they offer you a money back guarantee plus a one year's manufacturer's warranty it's a win-win situation for all
This company makes is almost impossible to get a return. Attempt to use their online return feature only says "Your part is on the way, Please allow time to receive your part before setting up the return." This error continues until beyond the return policy date. Convenient. Don't use this company as you will be supporting a company that doesn't operate in good faith to it's customers. You will spend hours on the phone on hold with no resolution. Attached Photo shows the error persisting past their return window.
19 days later and im still waiting for my money to be refunded. Im very disappointed with whoever is in the refund department, i shipped their part back at my own expense, i lost more than i gained. Never again will i shop with partsgeek or recommend them to anyone.
Wrong part was shipped and of course it doesn't fit. It's brand new in original packaging but PartsGeek.com refuses to fix their error and replace it since it was delivered more then 30 days ago, how convenient, $80 down the drain. Avoid and go with other vendors which actually care and stand behind their service.

They sent me wrong brakes and rotors after spending over $160 on their $#*!ty website. I looked up the parts by my year make and model and the rotor and brake kit popped up with my car description. NONE of the parts fit and I spent 3 hours trying to get them put on my car just to find out they're way too big. They won't answer and also expect me to pay to return them. So now it's going to cost me another $20 + just so I can get my money back and still have NO BRAKES. My brakes are shot and I finally thought I had the problem solve. Thanks so much parts geek for screwing me over. Don't order from them unless you want to waste your money and time. They don't care about their customers at all!
Tip for consumers:
JUST DONT

None! They don’t fit my car! And now I have to pay for the return due to their at fault!
I ordered a direct ignition cassette for a Saab 9-5, which when installed, the car would not start. Put old one back in and car started. Swapped them again with same result. New part also made a peculiar smell while trying to start the car. So, I'm out nearly $200, and can't return it as it's electrics/electronics. I'm stuck with a defective new part.
Chatted with a rep,ordered what the recommended, wrong part, upon return after I pay shipping, they won't return the money falsely claiming I installed the parts and presenting a bogus photo!
Ordered a muffler for a super duty, a box the size of a lava lamp showed up. Their return process is cumbersome and requires "review" when their shipping department is obviously working in the dark or something. May no mechanics ever order from them again.

Paid for expedited shipping $39! Site stated by 2pm. Received at 5pm. Requested refund of shipping cost only. Refused by email within an hour. They used UPS, they should be responsible for getting cost reimbursed. Buy local or dealer, equals out to be the same cost. Loyalty to a company means nothing anymore.
Package never showed up. Both UPS and Partsgeek said it's not their problem. The one other time this happened the vendor replaced my order at their expense. I shrugged that one off, went to but some fenders from them, and they wanted $200 for shipping and handling with a two week delivery time. I found the same parts at lower cost elsewhere, for $72 S&H, with a two day delivery.
Poor quality. I order an engine mount and it was defective. The car started to make a noise from the first month. I was trying to contact them through ebay but they keep sending this message (I am sorry but all of the information we have about the parts is included In our product listings title, description and images. We make every effort to ensure the information is accurate). Never order again.

They sent me the wrong item and instead of refunding me the full amount they short me $20. Why do I have to pay for shipping when the warehouse messed up? How is that even fair? I will never buy from these scammers again.
Never received my order and yet they continue to rate my claim as closed it's been 2 weeks on a $230 order. I'll never use or trust this company. Avoid the headache, keep your money and just use another site.
Tip for consumers:
Real hard to get a refund or acknowledge that there is a problem they even tried to say the order didn't exist.

I received my order finally after waiting for more than a week. I opened the box and they packed two boxes inside one being damaged before even shipping out. I opened the box up package inside was opened and missing hardware for me yo install it. I called several times and no one comes to the phone. I chatted with few agents online and no help. I'm very unhappy with the customer service department after me being a customer for a very long time. Finally they got back to me saying to hold on the the part because warehouse needs to investigate further. I ended up buying another part else where.
Purchased a power steering reservoir for my vehicle. After waiting nearly one week for delivery, a bracket arrived but no reservoir! Called CS explaining the situation, took pictures of package and what DID arrive I received an automated response saying they'd received the pictures and not to reply to the email. Guy I talked to was rude and obviously unwilling to help! Now nearly two weeks have passed since I placed my order, I receive an email saying I would be credited for the purchase. Way to solve the problem PartsGeek! I still need the damn reservoir! Why didn't you morons contact me to see what I wanted to see happen?! First and ONLY time I will deal with you! One star is too generous!
My daughter wrecked her car I had her as part of learning order the parts to replace it. Unfortunately we ordered from parts geek it cost half as much to ship as it did for the parts themselves shipping is a rip-off here. Two parts were short because the box that they all came in was horribly wrapped. We called they were rude but submitted a claim to UPS. They told us it would be up to 30 days for UPS to complete their investigation. I asked if they would cancel those two items and give me my money back and they could deal with UPS take the parts back. They flatly refused my daughter. They hung up on her gave her a run around and we're generally rude and abusive to a sixteen-year-old. I called and told them I had stopped payment via the credit card company and they could work it out with the credit card company that they would I would hold their money up to 90 days.
Absolutely horrible company never do business with them as hundreds of people seem to have found out.
Cheap part yes, quality no and replacement policy even worse. I ordered a fuel pump and it does not work. I paid to have it installed and now PG wants me to have it uninstalled and returned to them before they will "refund" the part. Not send a replacement. And not to mention, I would have to pay to have it removed and then once they return a new one, pay to have that installed. But what gets me is they do not understand that this would leave me without transportation for however long it would take them to send me a new one and that due to their policy i will now have additional charges for labor. They need to change their policy. At least Amazon will send a new one and give you time to send the old one back in the mean time. I should have bought from Amazon or a local parts store. This is what I get for ordering a discount item.
Tip for consumers:
They need to revise their return policy so that it does not create additional charges of labor for a defective part.

This is my last trip to parts geek. Twice now I've gotten defective parts on two different occasions. Parts geek will not even respond. They show only good reviews on their site like they have a good rating when in actually they are horrible.
Tip for consumers:
I’ve been burned by the twice now and never again.

I ordered a new transmitter key fob. They sent me a key fob case, no electronics inside. They do sell both items. The complete transmitter costs about $22. The case only is about $10.50. They refuse to make it right. Very disappointed. Stick with amazon, never have an issue getting things corrected.
Tip for consumers:
Don't do it. They don't cover the return shipping even if it's their fault for sending the wrong product.

I put the new case on my old remote.
In the last couple of months I have made several purchases from partsgeek. The following day my email gets blown up with over a hundred telemarketers from every stupid product you can imagine! Then my phone starts blowing up with telemarketers even though it's on the Federal trade commission do not call registry! I have traced it back to PartsGeek it only happens after I buy parts from those idiots
If you've tried to go on PartsGeek and purchase parts lately they have a huge chat window that blocks your entire screen. Yes click on the x to close it out. It pops back up 3 seconds later. Click on the x again close it out it does nothing but pop up and block your screen. I guess they think the sole purpose of going on their website to buy parts would be to chat with one of their representatives. They also sell you parts that do not even fit your vehicle but it will show that it is for your vehicle. They don't care whether you get the correct part or not they just care whether they make the sale or not! Of course when you get the wrong part by the time you send it back at your expense and you wait for the correct part to come or now you have to go to another website to buy the correct part you've wasted a week or two! Better off going down the street looking at the part getting the correct part and then if it fails under the warranty you can get it replaced that day. Good luck everybody you've been warned.
Bought a Dorman side-view mirror. Installed but bolt stripped. No - I did not over-tighten the nut. The other two bolts are fine, same torque applied to all three. Tried to leave a review of this part at Parts Geek but there is no link to leave a review. Chatted AND called Parts Geek but they said there is not actually a link for reviews so the 3 reviews for the part are fake. Never doing business with Parts Geek again. Not recommended. 66 dollars down the drain. Will probably un-install the mirror and fabricate some sort of repair which will be stronger than the junk Dorman bolt.
Tip for consumers:
I guess there is a reason why partsgeek only gets 2 stars on the web.
They sent mother wrong part with the right sticker on it. A left hood hinge instead of a right hid hinge. It took three days of pictures notes and bull$#*! before I could try to return the part at UPS. The cost of shipping was only a few bucks less
Than what I payed for the part and shipping to start with. In the end it was a good chunk of wasted time and money. I will never use this company again.
The part I ordered came in completely wrong, it didn't match the description or the product photos. The reflection in the mirror was extremely distorted, like a fun house mirror and was so cheaply made that it had large gaps and made whistling noises as I drove. Contacted customer service and they requested the same photo over and over, with a new rep replying to each response. Eventually they told me it was my problem and to deal with it. I've opened a dispute with my credit card company. I've since read other similar reviews and only wish I'd seen them before ordering. I also left a review on the product itself that they never published or simply removed the negative review. Worst company I've done business with in a very long time.
Tip for consumers:
Easier to dispute with credit card company than to deal with their poor customer service.

I would not recommend buying anything from this online company. I purchased a set of front rotors that were warped out of the box. Thinking this had been resolved. I tried other issues that may cause a unbalance in the front of my vehicle with breaking. At the end of all the trial and error, it ended up being the rotors. Parts geek would not stand behind their product.
Sold me the wrong part, won't admit fault or send a return label to return the incorrect part. Do yourself a favor and shop with anyone other than Parts Geek. They will not be getting my return business.
I learned the hard way and now have to take them to small claims court, they take your money and send out defective products. Twice. Then they don't refund you, blaming it on their shipper. Don't buy here
I bought a body trim part and didn't need it. I never even opened to box it came in. Now to return it I have to pay 50 dollars to send it back on an 80 dollar part. Any other parts website will give you a return label at their discounted rate but not partsgeek. I will never buy from here again or recommend this website to anyone.
Tip for consumers:
Go to another website
