Through With Brothers Auto

I've had it! I ordered some grilles from them last Monday (3-21-09) and they took the order and said they would be shipped out that day. I called yesterday to check, for they had not arrived, and was told they "should" receive the grilles Friday (3-27-09) and they would "try" to get them out to me that same day. This is the second time they've pulled this number on me. They should tell you that an item is currently out of stock before just taking your order! That's shady business right there! I was willing to forgive once but now I'm finished with them. I vehemently advise against doing business with them! In the future, I will order from Fusick.

Thanks for the heads up.

Fusick is hard to beat and they know their stuff.

No surprise, but sorry it happened to you... They do have a well known reputation of being low...

No Fusick is opposite! Great folk there!

I've ordered from Fusick before and from now on they'll get my business. How do places like that stay in business?

Fusick is #1 all the way.

Brothers is run by some folks who are less than honest.

If they were the only parts vendor, I would get a Ford.....

PS - The Parts Place is really good too.

Sorry to hear of your loss, which I'm afraid is what I would say to anyone who sent those bastages their money.

Thumbs up

Fusick is hard to beat!!! Ordered much from them lately and the stuff arrives the next day!!! Of course I'm only 1 state away...we only had one problem! When the door sill plates came for the Vista, one of them had a ding in it! We called them and without even a question, they said send it back and we'll send out a new one. Had the new one 2 days later! The Best!!!

Heh, better watch out or Mr Kenny will "change your life as you know it" and "make a man out of you" then try to sick his "group of attorneys" on you for "lying on the internet and making false statements" Just keep records of everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING. I'm sure I'm not the first one they tried to pull that crap on............ I think this is a good time to bring this back up https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...upplier-2.html

Make a man out of you????

If you're afraid of libel suits just call it Male Siblings Auto Parts.
You have to be careful of searches and it's a good idea to change
the name a little with spelling. If you don't give them a chance to rectify the situation or have indisputable evidence of fraud there can be big trouble. I represented myself and sued a lying scum two-faced repair guy and that was the major thing my lawyer advisor said to be aware of, I won.

IT is wrong that a company can hold you for libel if you just tell the truth about their service. I've heard bad things about Brothers Auto Parts. I never intend to order from them.

Fusick is number one! I ordered a FSM and Fisher Body Manual from them an got it in about 5 days. Top notch service since it had to go half way across the country.

I had wondered if Supercars was still around. Yeah, the siblings have tried to make trouble for other folks who complained, but truth is truth and sometimes truth hurts.

I generally stick with Foosick or USA because they're about the only ones who do anything for the big cars.

Year One was really good until they got so big. Hazard of being a large-scale operation, I guess. I haven't dealt with them recently, but back in the day they were as good as it got.

Yeah, you would figure that someone with as much legal sense that he claims, he would be a bit smarter than to try to call at 4am several times, call the place that you used to work at 5 years ago and leave threatening voice mail messages.
