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!

Poor customer service system I returned a part completely unopened from the original packaging and have not received my refund yet. UPS says it was delivered to them two weeks ago. They are impossible to contact. I have called a dozen times and have only spoken to an actual person once. The phone number is nowhere you would expect it to be on the website. They're good if you know exactly what part you need but good luck getting a hold of anybody to talk to about anything.

honestly honestly, here is what I did...ignored the call first for availability and ordered an obsolete part. Next Day Dave's refunded the amount and explained they could not obtain the part. Fair enough. Should probably pull the item from the parts sheet.

I placed an order for a hose and since … I placed an order for a hose and since it was too late to contact them by phone I was sent an email immediately the next day saying the hose was discontinued and that they were refunding me my money. That really helped me out in that I was able to order the hose some where else.

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.
