Strong Warning: Avoid This Business – Fraudulent Practices, Partial Refund Only, and Unprofessional Conduct
On December 2, 2025, I purchased an engine from Tex Auto Wrecking, with Alfonso handling the transaction. The business promised delivery by a specific date, but when I requested the VIN for the donor engine, Alfonso provided one that proved fraudulent upon verification. Independent research confirmed the associated vehicle was located in Yuma, Arizona, with a blown motor—clearly indicating Tex Auto Wrecking never possessed the engine.
After expressing concerns and requesting a full refund for the undelivered item, Alfonso became highly unprofessional, resorting to emotional outbursts, personal insults (including references to my family), and threats of physical violence. The business also attempted to impose an unjustified 35% restocking fee on an item never received or in their possession.
Following involvement of the Bureau of Automotive Repair, Alfonso agreed to process a refund by December 30, 2025. However, I received only a partial refund—half the amount paid—with no satisfactory explanation for withholding the remainder. Additionally, an unsolicited early-morning text from an individual named “Elizabeth” claimed the full refund was impossible due to alleged frozen accounts from my fraud reports, a tactic consistent with known scam patterns to evade full restitution.
Nearly a month after payment, no engine has been delivered, and the outstanding balance remains unpaid despite repeated promises. This experience demonstrates a lack of integrity, misleading sales practices, and reluctance to honor legitimate refund requests.
I strongly advise potential customers to avoid Tex Auto Wrecking. This review reflects my documented experience. I continue to pursue resolution through appropriate authorities, including the Bureau of Automotive Repair.
