Very deceptive practices in terms of parts condition. I was sold a b grade wheel which should be considered cosmetic defects only. Wheel was incredibly out of round which only can become evident on a balance machine when I brought this to Bud who was my salesman I was told the only refund would be a store credit less a 20% restocking fee.Edit in response to owner.If all parts are tested or checked before being graded then I was knowingly and deceptively sold a defective and misrepresented part. As for an exchange, no longer needed, a wheel was sourced from a reputable yard. Work trucks need to be on the road not laid up in shops while musical parts is played with con artists.I inquired about a door panel in exchange for the defective wheel to avoid being stuck with some ridiculous store credit Im never going to use.I was in fact told by Bud that there would be a 20% restocking fee regardless of what he told you.As for the CORE deposit, it is entirely irrelevant. Any wheel I brought back would be eligible for a return of the deposit, thats why its called a core deposit. Youre not doing me some favor here. I suspect the the wheel I was sold in the first place was a damaged return core with a B grade slapped on it.The correct move here is to issue a full refund and take back and destroy the defective wheel as it is unsafe for any vehicle., but only a business with integrity would do that.

I Recently Purchased a Unique and Rare A.B.S. Motor / Pump Assembly From S.A.P. of Elgin Illinois.This Part is in Absolutely Beautiful Condition and Was VERY Reasonably Priced. It Arrived On My Door Step in 2.5 Days and Was Shipped Free of Charge. How Could Anyone Not Deal With True Professionals Like S.A.P.Thank You Again,Mike in Tampa 🌴

Really have to hand it to the staff here. Bud helped us find the right part and get it pulled quickly.We had another issue which multiple members of the staff (Carrie and Bryan, and one other) jumped in on to get resolved. Really showed us not only are they good at what they do, but they were really helpful members of the community as well.Thank you!

Tom Evans of Elgin super auto parts was very helpful and personable the other day when I turned in my vehicle ( which I hated to part with after 16 good years ). He helped to make a potentially bad experience, smooth and easy ! A true professional

Worked with Bud to purchase a seat for an LT he gave me a seat for a LTZ. The seat did not fit and they refuse to give me a refund.Ask to see the part before you pay for it. Be sure youre getting the right part.I will not be getting anything from them.

Do NOT purchase anything from this place. My mom purchased a door for her car and it did not fit. Prior to purchase they had guaranteed this door belong to the type of car and model we needed it for. After installing it the door would not close all the way. There was a gap between the door and the car frame so we took it back. They refused to provide a refund or store credit since we had painted the door a different color. Of course we had to paint the door prior to installing it since the original door was blue and we needed it yellow. I understand maybe not a refund but store credit would have been fair for both parties. Never again. Most of my friends and family go here for car parts but they have lost of of our businesses with them.

Quality of service is phenomenal. Nelson and his crew of workers did a spectacular job on my front bumper and I highly recommend this place to anyone that is in need of auto repair.

They only get 1 star because no stars isnt an option. Business is owned by clowns and hired by clowns to run it. Ill never spend my money here. Nor will anybody I know. The sign on the back of my truck for the world to see will ensure it. Ill push a car right past this place even if they had the 10 cent part to fix it so I can drive.

I was given the wrong part after assurance it was correct over the phone. After confronting staff of the issues they persisted to have the attitude along the tune of they could care less. After speaking with management they shrugged off liability. I will never shop here again. I have the receipt to prove and pictures to prove the companies ignorance.

Excellent experience. Quick and informative communication with Scott online. Friendly service on site. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes, which is saying a lot - considering I purchased an entire rear axle assembly for a full size SUV, as well as a full front differential. Will definitely do business again should the need arise. Thanks again, Scott, Nelson and the nice lady working at checkout!

Fast to take your money, slow to pull your part. Waited 40minutes to pull a lock from a trunk. A part that can be removed in less than two minutes. Prices are above average for used parts, almost double what you could pay on Amazon or eBay. Not likely to buy here again.

Review №44

After searching their website for a fender, I called them and spoke to Tom. The pictures on the website were not clear because of reflection and glare. Tom said I could come out and look at it to decide if it was satisfactory. He said it would take 10 minutes to remove the fender if I decided to purchase it. I told him I would be out the next day. The drive was an hour and 10 minutes. I arrived and asked to see the fender. I was told to sit and wait and they would get someone to show it to me. I waited 40 minutes. I was then led to the car to see the fender. It had a stripe on it which was not visible in the photos. I went back into the office and told them that would not match my car. Tom stated that he could remove the stripe in 2 minutes and they could have the fender ready to go in 20 minutes. I agreed and paid for it. I waited another 45 minutes. They brought the fender out and I noticed the stripe was still on the fender. Tom said he would get a heat gun and remove it. He came back 5-6 minutes later and said they didn’t have a heat gun. He said the stripe could be easily removed. But at this point, I didn’t know what to believe because nothing he had told me so far was true. He said he could give me a refund and he was “being paid for selling parts and not removing the detail on the fender”. I agreed to the refund and left without the part. Wasted over half a day. Don’t tell someone you can do something if you can’t. Don’t give someone a time frame if you cannot live up to it. This damages your reputation and your integrity.

Came in to get a rim for my nissan Sentra. It came in the day as they said it would. I wasnt able to make in before closing and a very nice person by the name of Tom waited for me to come by and get it. He sure saved me an extra trip the next day to the tire place. Thanks once again, everyone was very helpful. Would definitely come back to get more parts .

The most unprofessional staff at the desk. Walked in looking for a small clip to hold down a floor mat. The Jerk behind the desk first acted like we were bothering him, he wasnt even looking at us while asking us what do you want?. We mentioned that we needed a clip to hold down the floor mat and he immediately said 35 dollar minimum and proceed to go back to what he was doing on his computer. I would have gladly picked up more parts as I need a bunch for a lexus is300 which there was 5 there!I belong to several car groups and seeing that this yard actually had 5 cars local would have been great. I will be sharing this review with them and with many others to avoid such a horrible place. I should have read the past reviews before entering this place. Never again and I will make sure no one that I know goes there. Word of mouth spreads quickly, especially online. Hopefully they change their ways but seeing the past reviews, I doubt it.Im sure the owner will reply and hopefully has a talk with his staff but probably wont and blame it on me like they have in all their replies. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!!!!!

Terrible service. Used them in October and they damaged our gutters during delivery. We had no other deliveries that weekend, no storms to cause falling branches, nor do either of our vehicles reach the gutters on our garage. The company delivered on a Friday evening and I sent emails that weekend with pictures. When I called Tuesday because I had no follow up on Monday the associate spoke over me multiple times, talked down to me, told me too much time had passed since the delivery (even though youre closed Saturday and Sunday and I reported the situation via email that weekend) and assured me it could NOT have been the delivery drivers fault because he asked him and the driver said nothing happened plus he said You know, its not the drivers first home delivery. When I said accidents happen and every home is different, his response was essentially Yes they do happen so it must have been something you did. Not really sure how that negates the fact that accidents can happen in a delivery and automatically make it something we did, but that was his response.That was the last I heard and that was from someone who was neither the person who sold us the part nor the manager. I was then told the manager would be in contact with us about the situation When he has time. So its unclear how issues are resolved there. With that in mind we have contacted the BBB about the situation.

This is the second time I come to this store and have had a horrible experience. Customer service is so disrespectful! Both times that I have gone they have told me it was my fault for ordering the wrong part. It seems that they intentionally sell you the wrong parts just to profit. There are so many more auto parts/junkyards that you could go to, rather than this one. Save your time and your money by not stopping here at all. Elgin Super Auto Parts really disappoints. I really wish that I could give 0 stars. Worst experience ever!

BAIT & SWITCH - VERY UNPROFESSIONALI called Elgin Super Auto Parts and was quoted a price (part, deposit and tax) over the phone. When I arrived they told me the price (part, deposit and tax) and sent me to the cashier window.The cashier asked for an amount more than I was quoted, when I asked to see the invoice I noticed an additional $5 disposal fee. When I asked the cashier about this she pointed to a sign next to the window that stated that $5 would be added to all orders for disposal fee. I told her that I was not quoted this; she stated that she was not authorized to make any changes. I asked her who was authorized and if they were willing to lose a sale over $5. I told her that I drove 20 minutes to get the part.THE CASHIER RIPPED UP THE INVOICE AND SHE SAID HAVE A NICE 20 MINUTE DRIVE BACK HOME!VERY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!I went back to the gentlemen who took my order; he stated he would take the $5 off... I went back to the cashier window and the $5 charge was still on the invoice. I asked the cashier about this and she crossed off the line and hand wrote in the new total price. I initialed the hand written changes on the invoice and asked her to initial as well. She stated that she couldnt make changes to the invoice (however she just crossed off and hand wrote in the new price). The sales associate came over and initialed the invoice.I paid for the part and the cashier left me standing at the window then she left the cashier booth... she didnt bother to tell me how or where to pick up the part. The sales associate latter stopped by and explained to have a seat and they were picking the part.Bottom line, I should have been given an honest price on the phone, again when I was working with the sales associate, and shown the invoice for review before being asked to pay for what I wasn’t quoted.The cashier should have directed me back to the sales associate to take care of the invoice problem instead of ripping up the invoice in front of me and telling me to have a nice drive home!I did receive another part quote for $10 more from another company... in retrospect it would have been only $5 more (because of the untold $5 fee) and if I went to the other company I probably wouldnt have been treated so rudely.Next time I will pay the extra $5 and deal with a company that is not rude to their customers and give the appearance of trying to overcharge from what was quoted.I gave 2 stars because of the sales associate taking off the charge and explaining the process. I would have given a 0 based on the cashier.A cashier with an attitude like that doesnt deserve a job interfacing with customers. I hope the company management is aware of the problem and how this drives business away.

Please be wary of Elgin Super Auto. Do not buy parts from them, you likely will be disappointed. I ordered a very expensive part from them. I sent them a picture of the part I needed. I have a Toyota. Five days later, after paying a ton for shipping, a part for from a Nissan shows up. The part I needed and paid for showed up two weeks later. Long after I purchased the part elsewhere and installed it. You would think they would refund my money. Lord no, they wouldnt even call me back. So here I am telling you about it. Do not buy parts from Elgin Super Auto. Pete

Driving through Chicago to California with a trailer on my car and blew my transmission from too much weight (thanks Uhaul). Had a hard time finding a good deal on a new one until I found Elgin Super Auto. Spoke with both Bud and Bryan - they were both really helpful in getting the correct transmission to my guy quickly and it worked great. I was on my way in no time - unlike the original 2 weeks I was quoted from my guy to start. I would definitely use them if I was ever stuck in Chicago again.

I had been looking for a steering column cover from a 79 Toyota truck for years before I finally found one at Elgin Super Auto Parts. Being from Canada, there was some hesitation as the company ships within the continental U.S. However, after talking with Bryan and explaining thats its for an old Toyota Corolla racecar and that the cover was broken during a failed car theft attempt, he made an exception for me. I am so grateful to Elgin Super Auto Parts and to Bryan for helping me. They sold me the part at a great price and shipped it right away. I recommend this company 100% and would do business with them anytime !! Good job and keep up the great work !!

I order a engine for my F150 and they offer me a engine from a Ford explorer but when they delivered it was from and e150 so I got stuck swapping everything to get it to fit. Next problem was I paid to have core picked up and I have waiting 4 month to get core picked up and every week they tell me they will get it but never have shown up. All I want is my core picked up and my deposit returned. I would think twice about by anything from them if this is how they treat paying customers

Called this place looking for wheels. They said they had them in stock. I mentioned I would be paying for the item with a credit card. He mentioned that they except cards just not via phone. When I arrived to there facility I paid for the wheels by card, but there was a 2% processing fee. I asked the sales rep if there was a processing fee via internet. He told me no! I asked him why he did not mentioned that to me when I spoke to him over the phone. He told me that I didnt ask him, so he didnt feel the need to tell me (sneaky, sneaky). To me if you know the answer and your withholding information that may be deemed useful / important to the customer, that is considered dishonest. He knew I was going to pay with a card in at advance, but yet he didnt tell me that there was a processing fee. POOR SERVICE!!!!!
