horrible business horrible people

Bought a 5 speed swap kit for my truck from these people. First of all they didnt send me anything they was supposed to. Only thing I recieved was transmission, drive shaft, and a cracked flywheel. They did send me money for the parts they didnt send. Which was $200. That wasnt even enough to pay for the clutch that they didnt send which I paid $500 for a new one. But I wasnt gonna complain about that because I alway... view mores put a new clutch in any vehicle I work on. Would have been nice to have for core charge though. Not to mention I had to pay $300 for master and slave cylinders which they didnt send. They advertised the transmission on craigslist as a kit and should have included all the above. Before I payed for the transmission I asked them if it shifted like it should. I recieved the transmission in decent time. I decided to trust them and installed the transmission. Took it out for a drive and it will barely stay in 3rd gear and grinds horribly bad when shifting. I installed everything myself. I graduated from nashville auto diesel college with ASE certifications and I know what im doing. I called back and asked for money for a rebuild kit which is only $250. I paid $1350 for the trans. I didnt even want money for the time I wasted installing it. After that they would not answer my phone calls. I called using a different number and they told me to call back the next morning and they ignored my phone calls. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. They will rip you off. They have done it to many people. Do not make the mistake I did. And brandon if your reading this I hope your business goes bankrupt. If you even own the business. By the way I forgot to mention the front main seal on the trans leaks. fluid for this transmission is $25.70 a quart. Had to buy from the dealer because this transmission uses carbon fiber synchronizers which requires 75w-80 synthetic fluid only.

The Cadillac engine.....When you purchase parts, you will get an interchangeable part. The part you purchase may not be the exact year, make, or model as what you have. Most parts can fit a wide range of years, makes and models. Please be aware of that when buying parts. When the customer was in the office, we told him that some parts may need to be used off the original engine and the customer understood and was ok ... view morewith that. When you purchase a used engine, you have parts like intake, water pump, oil pan, exhaust manifolds and water pump that are still on the engine. Those parts are only included for convenience and have no guarantee to be exactly the same. That information is also stated on our warranty paper that is read and signed by the customer. Some items on engines have different options, even if its the exact same year. When the lady called and asked why our engine was not the exact same year as hers, we told her the engine was interchangeable, just as we told the customer who purchased the engine. She did not understand and there wasnt much we could say but explain that parts are interchangeable and they are the same.

Do not buy from here unless yo...

I was looking for a 2005 cadillac cts moter and I called to Chris`s Auto Salvage and they told me they had a 05 cadillac cts moter for 1600.00 I specifically asked if this was a 2005 and they told me yes. I drive 2 1/2 hours to pick up this motor get it home to the mechanic and come to find out it is not a 2005 it is a 2004. I called to the auto salvage yard and spoke with Brandon who could only keep saying it was in... view moreterchangable. I advised him I should have been told it was a 2004 because all the other salvage yards were completely honest about the year. I told him I would not have paid 1600 for a 2004 that they were cheaper other places should I have known this was a 2004 I would have never bought and I feel regaurdless as to what is interchangable they should have told me it was a 2004. Which makes me wonder what else they are trying to cover up.

Outstanding Business

In our search for a couple new parts for our 03 Mitsubishi Montero sport, we thought we were going to get stuck buying brand new oem parts for $1200 with shipping because it is an unusual vehicle. We lucked into finding Chris` on the internet and they had everything we needed for $285 shipped. The parts arrived in practically brand new condition in a very timely manner. Couldn`t be happier!! They have great custom... view moreer service because I always got immediate responses to my emails. Will be pleased to do business with them again!!

Good Business

To the review posted on 10/21/11.

Customer saw a posting for a 6 speed automatic transmission for a 05-07 Ford Five Hundred. The customer emailed and asked if it would fit a 2006 model because he needed the transmission. We told the customer it will fit. The 6 speed transmission fits 05-07 Ford Five Hundred. The customer purchased the transmission online and we shipped him the item. A week or 2 later the cust... view moreomer called and said we sold him the wrong transmission. He said it was completely different. We asked if his original transmission is a 6 speed automatic, since that is what he purchased. He said he didnt know. The Ford Five Hundred makes 3 different transmissions in 2006. They make a CVT FWD automatic, CVT AWD automatic, and a 6 speed automatic. He did not know which transmission he originally had in his vehicle. The customer purchased the wrong transmission. It was not our mistake. The customer asked what our return policy was. We told him he was responsible for the freight shipping cost and a restocking fee. He stopped answering our phone calls after that and sent us an email saying he would not talk to us on the phone. He gave false information and lost the chargeback dispute. We ARE NOT a fraudulent business. The customer made a mistake and tried to blame us and he did not want to pay shipping or a restocking fee, which is common charges for most businesses. Most businesses will not pay out of pocket for a customers mistake. No matter where you are ordering your parts from, always be sure you are ordering the correct part for your vehicle. Run your VIN at your local dealership to get all the correct information you need so the correct part will be ordered.

good company

I purchased a engine for a 1993 explorer from Chris Auto in Waxahachie and I drove all the way from Oklahoma to Texas to pick it up. I prepaid over the phone with my credit card so they could have it pulled out by the time I got there. Like promised, it was on a pallet and ready to be loaded up in my husbands truck...The office people and the people outback were awesome. It`s feels good to drive again.

Valuable Customer Service

I purchased an transmission for a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. From the start, Brandon (manager) was helpful and quick to respond to any of my questions. They got my transmission shipped to me in the time that they told me it would arrive. I haven`t had any problems with it and Brandon called me to make sure everything was good to go. I will definetely use Chris Auto Recyclers again...(hopefully my truck won`t brake down aga... view morein though)

Stupid customer service

I purchased a driver side tail light for a Toyota 4 runner from Chris Auto Recyclers 2342 S. Highway 77 Waxahachie, TX 75165 972-923-3517
They sent me the wrong part. I called and they said to send it back and they would send me the correct one. That was ok with me. But they said they would not pay for shipping. This was not my mistake. I have an email with the correct info. Instead of admitting he may have made ... view morea mistake he told me I ordered the wrong one (a toyota Camry). I have had this suv for 8 years, I dont own a camry. The manager could not acknowldge he could have made a mistake.
