72 Vette
May 20, 2023

Chrome bumper looks awesome. Just a little more detail to the mounting holes might help a little bit, needed to do a little grinding to get the bolts in but over all very satisfied

Great experience, good price. However, it would be great if you would do two things. 1) Changing out the switch apparently requires a special tool. Why didn't you say that? WEAK WEBSITE. 2) It's not like a change ignition switches regularly--give me a little instruction for how to do it. Come on, you could own the market if you did these kinds of things!

My husband and I have ordered two different parts from Eckler's for our 1958 Corvette. We have not received either of these parts! Their website said we'd receive one of the items within 2-3 weeks and today when we called to follow up on when we'd be receiving it they told us we'd get it in November! They didn't even bother telling us we weren't getting the second part. They just canceled it! We are very disappointed in the customer service we received and how the website is clearly wrong when it states that they have the items in stock and we'll receive them within a specific time frame.

Your customer service and updates is non-existent.
Sent over 5 emails and received a very generic response about a 10.00 credit being issued to me for my hassel. Don't know where it is, haven't seen it.

Order placed on May 6th.
Sent email inquiry on the 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th and 18th.

After the 4th email on the (12th) called the sales department and spoke with an extremely rude sales associate, he was very quick to provide an answer when I would receive my order.
However he never got my name or order number. HA
But assured me I would have my items on the 16th.

No items arrived.
Sent an email on the 18th, no response.

Received an email today the 24th, the title says order cancelled.
No information in the email box.
Really!? No explanation or anything.

The customer service experience is absolutely horrible and would not recommend this company for anyone's restoration, rebuild or heck anything for that matter.

Save yourself some time and order from a more reliable company, this place ahs 100% went to crap.

Thanks,
Greg G

Terrible!
May 27, 2023

Ordered floor pans on March 17th 2023, received an email that parts were back ordered, I called they said I would have them by April 26th 2023 that was fine, I called on April 27th 2023 had not received anything yet and I was told that they were in stock, but do not ship to Canada? This information would have been nice to know over a month ago? I have approximately 40 classic cars/trucks and have dealt with them forever! I guess Dennis Carpenter will get all my business from now on! Dennis Carpenter is the best, and Ecklers sucks!
Yours truly,
Disgruntle Ford Restorer! Lol!

Advertising/Website
May 25, 2023

I googled Eckler's and the link said free shipping on orders over $75. When I placed my order it charged me shipping. I called Eckler's and asked about the free shipping and they said they do not have that promotion. The gentleman on the phone googled it himself and found the same website. He put me on hold and came back and said his IT dept said it was not their website. I asked them if it wasn't their website, how was I able to place my order with their company? He basically said it's not their problem which to me was deceptive since their own guy could see the website himself. Very poor customer service in my opinion

Disappointed
May 24, 2023

Wanted to buy multiple products, but ended up with only one; one that I couldn't buy was listed with a part number in your catalog, but showed no record of the part number online - so I bought it from a competitor; another shown in your catalog was out of stock - so I bought it from a second competitor...

Horrible customer service.
May 24, 2023

I ordered a battery tray from Ecklers April 4th, 2022. It was listed as IN STOCK. A few days later I received an email saying it was out of stock, when I called I was told it would be sent the early part of May 2022. When I did not receive it I called and was told mid may. Once again did not receive and was told mid June. Now they are saying Mid July. I called Dynacorn who makes it and they told me they have FIVE in stock in their PA website, and that Ecklers is not telling the truth about it being out of stock. Ecklers has had RUDE customer service reps who have no knowledge "attempt to take care" of this situation. Here I am still without a part. I will be listing this review on other websites as well so they cannot take it back down again. I WANT MY PART. Ecklers will respond to this saying the ship date is in July. That is currently true as they pushed it back several times, everytime they miss a ship date they just push it back.

Great service
April 17, 2023

I've been purchasing from Ecklers for over 30 years. They've always had what I needed at a very fair price. I'm fortunate to have lived near their US1 and now their Grissom office in Titusville. Glad that they are now part of a bigger conglomerate and offer other brands. Recently I purchased a hard to get part for my C4 through them ant their service was great as usual. Thanks!
