“NOT A SCAM”

Sondos H.
12/13/22

The part I ordered from them is discontinued and incredibly rare and near impossible to find. I was very skeptical as I dealt with a different company that offers the same service and it was a scam. I called ahead to see if the number works and asked if the shipping estimate of 2-7 days is reliable. They said it was but it ended up actually taking 9 days. But they were extremely communicative throughout the whole process. They called me with updates a couple of times throughout the process. Once the part shipped it arrived within 2 days so it was fast. It was packaged very securely and was exactly as described. I'm not sure if they actually do run and test the parts because that would take hours and a running car exactly like the one the part was taken out of. But the part does work in my car so that's all that matters. I would trust them and recommend and buy from them again. I only removed a star because I had specifically called and asked about the shipping time estimate and it was off. Other than that, if you can wait a couple extra days, go for it.

“Unorganized and non-communitive”

Stephen P.
3/9/22

If you need a part quickly do not trust these guys to get it done... I ordered a t-case for my V8 4runner and long story short they strung me along for over 3 weeks telling on 3 separate occasions the part was either ready to ship or will be tomorrow. Every time i called back it was a different story of why the part wasnt ready. My best guess is they took the payment claiming to have a part in stock which they didn't and instead of being decent human beings and just saying that, they continued to lie to me so they could keep my $1800 for 3 weeks until they could find the part. Company seems to be overall fairly unorganized, wouldn't be surprised if things often slip through the cracks. Sincerely, Stephen, former master mechanic who just had his worst parts buying experience in 15yrs ;)

This company operates as a non-stock parts intermediary with minimal inventory, essentially acting as a middleman. You can easily do the same job yourself using just a smartphone and the internet. I canceled my order merely two minutes after confirming it, yet I was still charged a hefty 20% restocking fee for a part that hadn't even been shipped or in stock. The person I communicated with couldn't provide information about the supplier or the origin state, which seemed dishonest right from the start. I suggest considering other options instead.

Tip for consumers:
Dont take what they tell you at face value expecting them to be honest, they will say anything to get you off the phone believing your needs are being taken care of.

I ordered a part from this company to find out the part was not appropriate to send due to a fault. They then got the same part from another supplier. With that being done that was the only good thing they did of letting me know of the situation. Now tracking my shipment I was expecting it to be delivered yesterday and it was delayed. Out of concern I contacted UPS today then to realised no package was delivered and now it seems like the delivery address was incorrect from start. I did not request change of address but now tracking my shipment it shows such. That is why both reps I spoke to from UPS keep asking what is my address. My conclusion is carpartsource did not verify with the company they got the backup part from or they did not let them know what address to send it to. With all this inconvenience they are not even planning to give me compensation. First and last time, I'm dealing with that company.

It's 2022! I ordered a part and provided the exact part # that I got from the dealership. They sent me a part for another year and charged me 20% to return it. I told them they messed up the order (even sent screen shots of the part # I requested) and I wanted a full refund. I'll also add, the part they sent me was ragged, another reason I didn't even want a replacement. All they do is go to junk yards, send you the part without even cleaning it up. They don't test it like they say! Earl who is the owner, he is also the customer service rep and everything else for the business, said he would refund me fully and make it right. He sent me a return label for the shipping but still charged me 20% for returning the part (which he said he would not charge me for). He makes it appear as if its a big business but it's just him. He does it all. They send you the wrong part and charge you 20% to return it. That's their scheme. They say they will refund if they mess up and that is not the case. They have a template email ready to send you saying they are not at fault regardless if it is their fault. If you buy from them and don't read reviews first. It's your fault! I wish I had done my homework!

I ended up going to the junk yard myself and getting the same part for $30.

Part was in decent condition, works great and saved me a lot of money as compared to a new part. The delivery time is okay, took a while to get the parts. Customer service is good but it needs improvement, need a better line of the communication services with the customers.

I bought a ABS Brake Actuator for my 2013 Toyota Prius this past month in Feb 2022, I had Mechanic Install it, After install it, My Mechanic say theres was Brake Fluid leaking from the ABS Brake Actuator that I bought from them, I called them to let them know, I ship it back to them. A week later, they email me saying that there was another part Missing that I didnt sent back! They try to delay the time so My Refund would be Void after 30 days. Crooked People! Out of $400, Do not buy these USED OEM Parts, They sources these parts from the Local Junk Yards! Do yourself a Favor, Dont waste your Time and Money with these Crooked People! Better to buy New Ones, So you wont have any Headaches Problems like Me!

Tip for consumers:
Buy New Parts , Save yourself Money And Time With Returning and Expenses for Mechanics Works!

It’s not a scam but the delivery time might be longer than the estimate.

ABS brake unit was everything it was advertised it would be. I actually received the part two days earlier than expected. Keep up the great job.

I dealt with Natalie through the entire process of ordering my used engine and turbo. Any issue that I had was taken care of right away. Natalie answered my calls or returned them within hours! I will be a customer of theirs forever! This is no BS review, I have receipts for everything! Reach out to me. Best place to get parts!

Carpartsource.com is super user friendly & extremely helpful for the non-car expert like myself. The site sells used car parts & has everything you may need... engines, alternators, cylinder heads, steering gear racks, ABS parts, etc! Not only do they deliver the best car parts, they have the BEST costumer service, & offer free shipping and 5 year warranty! My experience using Car Part Source was so seamless & easy - I will definitely never go to another company for used car parts again!

I was shopping around for a motor for my 01 Ranger for a couple weeks and finally decided to try Car part source. I was a little hesitant because I couldn't find much about the company but, the lady on the phone seemed nice and knowledgeable so, i went for it. Plus they had free shipping, no tax and a 5 year warranty can't really beat that. Anyway the engine was in really good condition. Happy with it, would recomment.
