How come all the bad reviews say confused or not a customer. Nothing is addressed.No empathy. Parts arrived late and in an open damaged box. The parts were not protected adequately. Sent them pictures and had to request that they file a claim with the shipping company. They offered a refund of the part but refused to provide return shipping and refused to acknowledge that some of the items were damaged , regardless of the photos. Their response was that these were used parts and dents and bends are normal. These are dinged (I can accept that for used parts) the bends are not acceptable. I have shopped here for years. If their customer service has come to this. I will shop elsewhere and let everyone I know or see how terrible and crooked California Corvair has become.
So sad, all I had asked for was an exchange for only the items damaged due to lack of protection in the package and a shipping label ... as legally required. The protection could have fallen out when the package was opened. Jeff did not want to file a claim with the post officr. When Jeff's additude was rude and disrespectful then I gave the reviews. You should never treat customers like he did.
Ordered a tissue dispenser and they accidentally sent the wrong one but they wasted no time in issuing a return label and getting the correct one sent out right away. These are the folk you want to deal with (btw, the emblem is one I added)
This is the place to obtain parts for Corvair automobiles, trucks, vans, and anything Corvair related. Super knowledgeable staff and an enormous amount of parts for the Awsome Corvair community at large. This is one of the best Corvair supply companies in the U.S. Especially on the West Coast. Great prices and knowledge are the best attributes with this company.
I have purchased well over $80k in parts from Jeff Williams in the last 6 years. His prices and business dealings are always fair. In the rare instances where there is a problem, it is always resolved professionally and fairly. His decades of Corvair maintenance experience and his willingness to share that experience is invaluable to make sure I purchase the right parts.
Poor customer service. Jeff doesn't know it all, but he think he does. Send me the wrong parts and then wants to charge me a restocking fee for his mistake. Nice try. I am the VP of the company and went over the entire transaction with the person at our company that dealt with you.
I've purchased several items and always have good feedback with Jeff. The shipping is very fast to Massachusetts. Items arrived as described in great condition. Thanks.
Absolutely a Top Notch experience! I had an error in the product shipped to me. Not only did they make it right…they made it right extremely fast, acknowledged the error, and sent me a label for return shipping! It turns out customer service still exists! I would absolutely do business with Jeff and his team again. In fact, they will be at the top of the list. I always read reviews and never leave one. But, after the exceptional service I received, this review was a must. Good service must be acknowledged! Thanks Guys!
They sent me defectife parts and dindn't answer my messages. You should check the parts that you ship. I know I should have checked it immedeatly after recieving it but you didn't even answer my messages. Now your lying and saying that i didnt order anything from you even though I ordered multiple parts from you. Why would i write a bad review if there was no reason?
I've had great experience with California corvairs restoring my 61 Corvair. I needed a few parts and they always had what I needed and advice on how to install them.
Have been more than pleased with these guys. Every time I order a part they ask me several questions about the job I am doing so I get the correct parts in the first place. Drove down there today and just as helpful in person.
Thanks Jeff ,i drove 2 hours just to see this place and a very worthy drive, this store is full of goodies,and that helps out when getting all the parts you need for a build, affordable enough to make you want to spend all your money because they have everything you need for your corvair....
Cal has a good reputation for parts but don't send them any parts. I sent a 140hp breather lid to be rechromed because they had none in stock. Over a month later I was called it was done and the invoice was almost 30% more than the agreed on price with no explanation. I was told "I'm not going to argue about it". They also quoted twice what I paid to ship it. What's wrong with box I shipped it in? Probably lost. If I don't pay the shake down they keep the lid, sell it, and I now have no lid at all. In these cases they usually say the customer is confused to get themselves off the hook but that just compounds the distrust. Very very disappointed
Super Happy, Looked all over for carburetors, started to give up hope, then I talked to Jeff. He had them on the shelf and I had them in two days, my only regret is I didn't find California Corvair sooner. Thanks again Jeff!!
Possibly one of the only places left that specialize in corvairs. I spoke with Jeff at length about what it's going to take to revive my 1964 Greenbrier van that long to my grandmother. Jeff was very helpful and had a lot of insight on common issues. I will be going here a lot as I restore my old van.
Needs a secondary carb and found it quick easy fast and cheap on the website. Delivered as promised. Notified every step of the way. Just awesome!!! Will using them for everything now for my Cordelia the Corvair. Highly recommended
My grandfather passed away in nov last year. He left me with a couple corvairs to fix. Jeff had supplied him with parts. I drove from San Diego to corona. After having problems with his rebuild kits. He was rude and unhelpful to my grandmother and myself. None of the accelerator pump cones I purchased in these kits fit. They are to small, he gave me linkages and told me it would fix the problem. Still have no fuel. Total scam and really unprofessional in any help at all. Aswell as incomplete kits missing Venturi gaskets and clips. Will not ever being doing business with Jeff ever.
I have been dealing with CC for 5 years, never a problem. Jeff will keep my 51 year old car going with his available parts. I visited his shop a couple of years ago. First class all the way.
