I searched various sites one evening trying to find a starter for a 1994 Volvo. Certain sites had quick info boxes to be completed so they can check their inventory for your particular part.

First thing the very next morning an email from Heritage Auto parts shows up in my in box. They claim to have just the part I was looking for at a reasonable price. The guy was very helpful and said they warranty their parts for 90 days and they ship really fast.

I went over the particular part several times just to make sure we were on the same page. The young man assured me that all parts worked and gave me a little history about where the part was taken from.

Well when their part arrived my mechanic immediately took my starter out and before he put the "new' starter in, he decided to test it. Low and behold it did not work! If that wasn't surprising enough. The bank notified me that my debit card was being charged a 2nd time for the same purchase. Livid is an understatement. This vehicle is my only means of transportation right now and I have incurred fees with my bank.

This is far from over....Consumers please, whatever you do.. do not purchase from these crooks. Save yourself a Headache.

Customer was completely confused. She filled out an online form that sends part requests to different recyclers. Those that have the parts respond with pricing, warranty, etc. She ordered 1 from us and 1 from another company without realizing it. She thought we were the same company.  She contacted us when she received the first one and told  us it was not working. Looking into it, it was not our starter but the first one she ordered from a different company. Ours arrived a few days later and worked flawlessly.  The reason she had 2 charges was 1 from us and 1 from a different company.  Always keep notes when ordering online

Thanks
Heritage
