Ecstacy then Agony I found the website for Dave's Discount Auto Parts to be easily navigated and user friendly . I was ecstatic to find the very hard to locate part for my son's 1988 Ciera. The transaction processed seamlessly....we were thrilled to know he would be able to fix and use his beloved car. Imagine our disappointment when we received an email the following day stating the part was discontinued and not available. I wish that prior to the "checkout" process it would have indicated the part was not available...dashed hopes stink!

Whole experience needs improvement Searching for a discontinued part and found it listed at Dave's as available so ordered them and waited. 4 days later I get an acknowledgement that they're "discontinued" - really? Bottom line is they sound like a broker who really don't own any parts, just a "pass through". They utilize databases from other vendors and need to do a better job to improve accuracy. Also navigated website and found it difficult to find things. Had to put in vehicle info several times over and still found it hard to find what I need. Catalog indexing was a little odd, categories make no sense. Bottom line is they need to improve the whole package in order to compete with the others out there who've already figured it out. Cool name and decent image but needs more than that to deliver.

Better luck next time. To your credit, you put yourself out there with this survey regardless of the consumer's experience. I wanted a Fuel Pressure Relief Valve - one week it was listed in your data base, the next week it was gone. Via email, the eventual response was, "sorry, not sure what happened to it." Such as it is . . . at least the company responded electronically. By phone = not so much.

Solved a two year old problem. I had purchased two sets of fuel injectors from ebay vendors. The first were visably knockoffs, although they worked fairly well until one failed. The second were accurate fakes that didn't work very well at all. I finally got real GM branded parts from Dave's at a reasonable price. All is well.

ABS Connector order Ordered some Standard Auto Products S1452 ABS harness connectors from Dave's online. Ordered was processed same day and I received the parts in 3 days shipped directly from a Standard distribution center. Parts were well protected in the box and the tracking number was made available as well. Can recommend them!
