Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Dear owner/operator,

The President of 4 Wheel Parts has developed a pattern of generating public statements invloving business entities with GOOD Business Records such as the one below.

His statements directly contradict 4 Wheel Parts Unsatisfactory Performance Record with the Better Business Bureau and now also shamefuly contradict the 15 State Violations his company was just issued. Be advised that the magnitude of this investigation is as equal to an/or greater than the Sears Automotive Scandal.

"4 Wheel Parts Performance Center operates on the philosophy that a business cannot be successful unless the customers have a good experience," said Greg Adler, president of 4 Wheel Parts Performance Center. "Our new partnership with Exide Technologies allows us to extend our respected Pro Comp brand to include a line of high performance automotive and marine batteries that meet the rigorous demands of our customers. With the Exide product line, we are continuously improving 4 Wheel Parts to help us earn new business."

Furthermore, your company has just been placed on RIPOFF REPORT.COM with the following statement issued below.

The company AIRLIFT CO. was sent several letters complaining that "Off-Road Adventures" retained an Unsatisfactory Performance Record with the BBB for failing to answer consumer complaints and other SERIOUS matters. AIRLIFT CO. continued to advertise and sell their products through this company, "As business as usual."

The State Agency, Bureau of Automotive Repair is in the final days of completing their several month long Fraud investigation into the company known as 4 Wheel Parts Performance Centers/Transamerican Auto Parts Inc. This company operates a nationwide off-road store chains, Including but not limited to the SELLING of factory truck warranties redeemable at all major nationwide dealerships, and is also in the business of selling aftermarket parts/accessories to dealerships nationwide.

Several questionable issues delayed and/or interfered with the State Agencies abilities to complete their full investigation into this business entities transactions/conduct. One such example was the, Failure to produce documents/invoices in timely manner and/or the deliberate withholding of these documents to gain a strategic advantage, which is a violation of the business and professions code.

President Gregory W. Adler of 4 Wheel Parts Performance Centers/Transamerican Auto Parts Inc. has vehemently denied any wrong doing to date and has stated via the internet that, The customer is number one at 4 Wheel Parts.

However, his statement completely contradicts his companies Better Business Bureau Company Reliability Report of having an Unsatisfactory Performance Record which the report includes the following specifics below:

*Delivery Issues,*Difficulty Obtaining Refunds,*Overcharging,*Poor Installation,

*Poor Customer Service,*Billing Disputes,*Failure to Deliver Ordered Merchandise *Missing Items, and Incorrect Items.

A BBB Company Reliability Report on 4WP/Transamerican Auto Parts can be obtained at www.labbb.org.

Furthermore, Mr. Gregory W. Adler's statement of, The Customer is Number 1 is once again contradicted by the 15 Violations issued by the State Agency, Bureau of Automotive Repair.

This is just some of the following State Agencies final report violation subject matter that will be available via subpoena:

Written False and Misleading Statements etc.

Failure to Provide Written and Revised Signed Estimates etc.

Charging for Items Not Specifically Described etc.

Installation of Non-Calibrated (Zero-Mile) Odometer, installed on factory leases.

Several severe offenses were committed; unfortunately no enforcement action was taken due to the fact that there are no laws/enforcement regulations and/or legislation on the books to date.

The State Investigator audited the annual idler arm sales records between a major dealership and 4 Wheel Parts. Service Manager stated (name withheld), That after approximately (600) 1500 series idler arms were sold to 4 Wheel Parts, they began to return them for credit/exchange. Service Manager continued, I know that you are not installing these parts on factory stock trucks, but installing them on trucks with larger wheels and tires that puts a huge strain/wear on these parts causing them to wear prematurely.

Not only am I going to stop crediting you these idler arm parts, I'm going to stop selling them to you altogether. 4 Wheel Parts were purchasing factory stock parts and stating that they were Heavy Duty to handle the larger wheels and tires. ANOTHER VIOLATION issued by the State Agency.

10 other violations were issued similar in nature.

This State Agency report that contains 15 violations has been brought to you at terrible cost and sacrifice to me. You may obtain a Bureau of Automotive Repair Records Management/Subpoena Unit Form explaining in detail how only your counsel may obtain this very important report at www.autorepair.ca.gov/stdhome.asp or write to:

Please make the necessary contractual changes and/or cease to do business with such companies who seek to obtain huge profit gains at terrible expense/losses to hard working business entities. Companies who retain such lousy Unsatisfactory Performance Records with the Better Business Bureau should not even be considered as business candidates. He who plays in the dirt shall also get dirty as well.

YES, YES, I UNDERSTAND RUBBERBAND, my apologies ED is about to have me sodomised by farm animals. Yes, I Formally apologize for irritating the hell out of all of you, but there is something really big going on here. I have been told by an independent investgating entity that this has become larger than the NATIONWIDE SEARS AUTOMOTIVE SCANDAL. One State Agency has just issued 15 violations, which means the Federal Agencies are around the corner, trust me. And 4 Wheel Parts has is not just a catalog whatchamacallit. They have 44 stores Nationwide, one store in Mexico, another in Edmenton Canada, another in Hawwaii, are now a major distributor in JAPAN The Godzilla rampage is over.

We have gotten it Leon. You can't stand 4 Wheel Parts. Great, we get it. Writing all these idiotic missives about how terrible every company is that does business with them is meaningless. Since you don't know how busines works, I'll tell you. 4 Wheel Parts is a catalog and a phone number, nothing else. Everything they sell is drop-shipped from the manufacturer. They will ship to whomever 4 Wheel Parts tells them to AFTER 4 Wheel Parts has paid them. Your issue is with 4 Wheel Parts, not the thousands of companies out there that are in the company's catalog. I hope Ed and the gang are going to start charging you for the enormous amount of bandwidth your writings are going to require if you actually try and report every company that deals with 4 Wheel Parts. And, in case you haven't quite gotten the gist of this site, complaints by or about the BBB are useless here. Ed started this BECAUSE the BBB is worthless.
