What clients say about General Auto Recycling in Tiverton Township (RI)
Horrible service! Very unprofessional! Made me wait 3 hours, I came all the way from New York they knew I was coming because I spoke to them the day before saying I’m coming tomorrow told me one price when I showed up gave me a higher price also said no tax if I pay cash, I got there charged me tax and raised the price. DONT DO IT! find some where else, not worth the headache!
I have been buying used auto parts for 50 years. I was a little concerned after reading some reviews. My experience was hands down great. Every person I dealt with including the young man who handed me the part was courteous and professional. Definitely will be going back.
Absolutely love this place the staff was very professional and I feel they went above and beyond to help my needs. I traveled out of state to go there, compared to the other places I have been to. I can say with full transparency it is worth the trip. They get a 5 star review from me.
If you're not in the automotive business and you're trying to use a credit card, go somewhere else . Would not take my corporate card. Treated me like a jerk. I would not recommend them to anyone for anything. Go somewhere else
Not sure what's up with the negative reviews, but they really came through for me. I needed a tail light assembly for a 2018 Ford Transit work van after I destroyed mine when I backed into a tree. Dealer retail price was $290. I called salvage yards and located one at this yard for only $75. Rather than drive out there, I asked if they could ship the part to me, and they agreed, for a reasonable fee (as compared to my time and gas). The gentleman I spoke to on the phone was very professional.
Two days later, the part was at my house. I have never in my life seen an item that was so carefully packaged; I was highly impressed. The condition of the tail light, although it was used, was excellent. It even included the wiring harness and bulbs! In about 5 minutes, I had the damaged part out, and this new part installed.
Rude customer service, unwilling to help. Always blame the customer for any issues, after spending 1950$ on a “shift good tested” 87,xxx mile 6l80. with in the first 5 miles of driving it, I realized it was slipping. Put less then 100 miles on it to confirm it indeed was a bad transmission. Sent over all required receipts for transmission install for “warranty” purposes, only to be called and told I ordered wrong transmission from them and it’s my fault. My truck was optioned with a tow package and apparently the transmission I got didn’t have a “tow package” note they never ask for your vin to verify until after you bought they part which Is cash ONLY (sketchy). Only after they sell you a bad transmission they want to confirm your vin. After contacting gm parts department and clarifying with them that the only difference in my truck was an upgraded hitch, higher capacity radiator, and trailer brake and nothing to do with the actual transmission. They said all 6l80’s were built identical and the slippage was due to worn clutches. They verified the 2 different numbers for a new oem transmission and the 4wd one was indeed correct for my truck. Well general auto playing the card they always do and blaming the customer, as you can see in any other review. I’ve done business with them over 10 years. That was the last, when Anthony Russo sold this place, it went severely down hill.
Needed a tow mirror for my chevy silverado, spoke with Shane and team, got me the correct part and shipped next day! Mirror is on and works great! Amazing customer service, fair prices and quick response! Thank you!
Visited for the first time. I needed a rim for one of my vehicles. They had a few in stock. I spoke to Matt and he was very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. I was very impressed on how they kept the property. Very neat and organized. I will definitely visit again if any future needs come up. Thanks General for the great service !
Claimed they would repair engine that was being returned but lied about doing the work promised. Upon pickup I asked if they did the work and was again told yes. Mechanic pulled the motor apart and verify the lies.
I bought a headlight from this company. It was the wrong headlight. It was a mission and a half to return it. Didn’t even give me cash back. Gave me a check and charge me a 25% restock fee. I would give this place a zero star rating. I will not be returning
Beware. They’ll state the part your looking for is good (grade a) & once you put a deposit down they take 7-9 days (weekend included) to let you know that the part is no good.. no accommodation for your time nor would they offer another part for the same price.. even if the difference is a few bucks to make the situation right. No ethics no morals. Small items like Autobody parts is not a problem.. as for mechanical parts, If you’re on a time crunch and expect a good working part do not rely on General Auto. They’ll call you back w bad news & leave you disappointed.
Absolutely unprofessional service provided. Requesting a part, getting there, removing the part only to be told they do not have it. Oh and called ahead so it wasn’t a wasted trip. I understand the need of business but being accountable and trustworthy is what makes you gain the trust of a consumer. Was able to go elsewhere and resolve same day but think twice before using there services. Please do better. Use this review to review your process to ensure customer satisfaction.
Absolutely horrendous experience! Do not recommend wasting your time at all with this company. I called last week to see if they could possibly ship a Fender and Door to my local body shop in NY, and they said no they cannot. So I had asked them to pay over the phone and have the parts pulled so i can come on tuesday (today) to pick them up. They stated that they will not take any payments over the phone nor will they pull the parts for me untill i come to them and pay cash (likely so they dont need to pay taxes on sales) and that I had to be there before 2pm and they will have them pulled same day. I said alright, ill be there tuesday to get them. Arrived on tuesday at 1:55, and by the time they figure out what parts i need and where to find them, its 2:05 and they tell me they will get them pulled tomorrow. I said i took time off from work today to get this taken care of and drove from 5 hours away to get this stuff. I cant wait untill tomorrow. And they instructed me that i am violating company policy and i had come 5 minutes after 2. He calls another older gentleman in and he starts arguing with me aggressively and kicked me out of the building. Highly recommend to stay away and not waste your time. They clearly dont want your business and dont want to help customers. After this situation happened i went to check other reviews and many others had similar and different situations happen aswell. These guys deserve an IRS audit and to be shut down to the ground. Have never actually actually needed to write a negative review for a business before but this one really deserves it.
If I could leave zero I totally would. I recently had a very disappointing experience with this company. I arrived at their office just a few minutes past their supposed deadline due to their cash policy, and despite my apologies and explanation, they refused to assist me. I understand that punctuality is important, but their lack of flexibility and unwillingness to help was very frustrating. It felt like they didn't value my time or business at all. Customer service should be about understanding and accommodating clients, but unfortunately, the receptionist was rude and very very unwilling to work with me. Then the hero jumped in pretty much kicked me out. I won't be returning, and I certainly won't be recommending their services to anyone!
I don’t understand why all the negative reviews. My experience with this business was fantastic. I was assisted by *Jim* and he was excellent! After confirming the part i needed, he called me back stating there was damage. He emailed me pictures while on the phone to confirm if i wanted to proceed.
Not many businesses would do that.
Customer service from Jim was 5 stars, as well as the part purchased and packaging.
Just do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all cost. Worst customer service I have ever encountered. They think they’re doing you a favor. Management sucks just as much as sales.
If you’re remote and needed shipped they make you pay via wire transfer. Like who does that? Whoever own this company needs to fire everyone working there.
Finally getting around to writing this review.
Cant say enough bad about the experience i had. I drove over an hour after being told that they had the part. Told them i was leaving now, can i pay for the part over the phone so that it will be ready when i get there? No, cash only, first come first serve. Ok.
Arrive after an hour of driving. Lady was extremely rude, tells me to wait in my car. I wait for close to an hour.
After an hour she comes out and unappologetivally tells me that the car is actually covered in ice and the part probably doesnt work.
Ok, well ill take it anyways. "Did you not just hear me? Its covered in ice."
These people think that because they have something you need, that they are god like and can treat customers like garbage. Actually, another yard in dighton ended up having it and it was already pulled and ready for me when i arrived. I really cant understand this mentality or the treatment i received.
I should have read that reviews before working with this company. I had a similar issue as some others here. Called and ordered a part using a credit card. AFTERWARDS, I get a call stating my phone number didn't match my current location (as if moving from another state is somehow abnormal, SMH) so I would need to fill out another form.
I send in the form, copies of the cc and drivers' license. Days later I get told my signature on the form doesn't match my credit signature, SMH. I don't know about the rest of you but I don't always sign exactly the same. I guess if it was fraud I'd be more diligent to make them appear the same. They then wanted me bank wire the money. Yeah, no way I'm going to spend another 1-2 hours for this when I can just order the part from another yard and be one my way.
Either way, I backed out of it because these guys wasted a WEEK of my time with the back and forth.
I'm all for secure payments but their approach is ridiculous and punishing.
I wish I can give a negative star, this is a predatory business, save your money don't buy here, they took my payment, sent me a totally junk transmission, the 30 days warranty is a joke, they don't stand behind it. They asked me for a bunch of non sense receipts and documents and when I sent everything they asked us to remove the transmission and bring to them for management inspection... also they are so rude and unprofessional. Don't let they get way taking you money for nothing, i'm going to small claims.
We have been using you guys for about 8 years now. Never had an issue until we got a transmission for a sentra on 7/7/23. Installed it and found the transmission to be faulty. We provided all documents you have requested from us. Now it has been over a month and Lynn can't get this resolved. Same answer everytime....waiting for management to inspect. Today is 9/1/23
UPDATE: 9/25/23 still no reply back or reply back to BBB
UPDATE: 10/12/23 RESOLVED. ADJUSTED TO 3 STARS.
If I could give no stars I would . Horrible people to deal with. Ordered a control module and they faxed me a purchase agreement and I filled it out and Emailed it back. Received email back stating transaction was canceled do to me marking the 90 warranty box. I then called and told them that I understand that there was no warranty on Electrical parts but they didn't want to hear it.
I had a great experience here. My mother-in-law has a late model car and needed a roof rack that wasn't installed by the dealer. These guys were one of the only ones that had it in the country. They shipped it to me quickly at a minimal cost. Communication was great. Part worked perfect. Mother-in-law thinks I'm a hero.
General Auto Recycling had the best hood for my van and at a great price. Very happy with my purchase. Friendly and easy to do business with these guys. Jason was right to the point and knew what he had and description was accurate. Thank you for the great service. Very happy. Perfect fit and exact color.
I felt that it was necessary for us to leave a review , because of the way this business is presented in most of the negative reviews. This was not the first time we purchased from them and every single time the experience was positive. Their grading is always correct , prices are very competitive and customer service is top notch. We are over 600 miles away and will not hesitate to order parts again Just received a $200 head light today and the item was packaged better than new one. Thanks to Lynn and the team
and keep up the good work!
Do not recommend this place! Tried to reach to them for over two weeks because I did not receive everything that I ordered and every time they would say that they will call me back, when I called them back they would act aggressive and say what ever for you to leave them alone. If Tj picks up the phone, I recommend asking for another worker to help you. When they transferred me to the manager, he just hung up on me multiple times. After two weeks they said they don’t have my parts and that I can only order another pair from them and pay for shipping too. Overall terrible customer service, and if you order from here mostly likely won’t get everything as described.
Late model cars you can get original parts and save hundred of dollars I stop buying new tires there tires are almost new all sizes love the place environmentally perfect place I highly recommend this place.
Parts were not in "good" condition as claimed, wheel needed complete refurbishing. Over inflated shipping costs and also slow to ship parts (ordered Monday, did not send out until Friday) and not the most helpful or attentive customer service.
