I needed specific used parts for a salvage inspection for a vehicle and required the highest quality used parts. I contacted the dealer ****** "Canadian used auto Parts" Calgary as they advertised "grade A" parts with the ************* (Grade- A are the highest quality used parts. For body parts, this means that the components have no damage or one "unit" or less of needed repairs)
Before making the e-transfer, I checked the parts pics on ************ that appeared as "Grade A" good condition and the dealer reconfirmed parts in excellent condition, no repairs needed.
Sept 20, 2022 - When I went to pick up the shipment, one of the items was completely damaged *********** I have confirmed with the dealer "intentionally" shipped the damaged part. I have recorded a voice clip (Phone call with dealer), where he clearly admits that prior to shipping he clearly knew the rear panel was damaged and no use for us but then deliberately shipped the part to make a profit and returned the item to the dealer to get full cash credit.
The dealer paid **** and held **** as "hostage store credit" which I have no use for and refused to provide any paper work for it. I have followed up with the dealer so many times for paper work and to return the money and they refused to do so.
I work with ******* and heavy relays on **************** as a trusted source to find parts for vehicles. I have bought many parts from reputable dealer through ******** and I never had such a concern/rip off with a dealer sending damaged parts and holding money for store credit. This dealer is using ************ to lure customers with misleading advertisement is unfair and deceptive business practices that would mislead the average person. I have submitted a complaint with ************ and the representative told me ************ is unable to get the refund **** and sided with dealerBusiness Response

Order #: CPZXXXXXXXXX - order date: Sept 11, 2022. The part that I ordered was NOT the correct part for my vehicle so I went online, read the return policy and requested a return because I needed a RMA number. I was not given any option when it came to return shipping labels but then I received two different emails and both had a different refund amount listed. One email had the return authorization number ***** with a refund amount then a second email had a different refund amount which was a little confusing. I was originally charged ***** ********** + *** tax + *** shipping) but my refund was only **** ***** part + ** tax *** "call tag" which I'm assuming is the shipping charge??). There is something wrong with this picture. How is my tax refund less than it was when I originally purchased the item? Are there additional hidden return fees that are not listed in their return policy? I am only seeing a return shipping fee of ***** listed in my email. Their return policy needs to be clearly stated on their website especially when it comes to hidden fees!Business Response

On august 16th 2022 I was charged *** illegally by **************** they have done absolutely nothing to make it right after literal countless tries of contacting them. I order a part way back in June, and that's all. They told me the (august 16th) purchase was "fraudulent" yet over a month later still nothing. I don't believe they plan on giving me my money back at all. This situation also caused me to go into the negative, right when I was about to pay part of a loan back. Now I am behind on my loan, because I had money stolen from me and can't afford to pay the **** I now "owe" when I was only going to pay 90$ back for my loan. This money being stolen from me has affected my life majorly. This has cause me major pain and suffering.Business Response

I ordered 8 drivewire ignition coil for my 2010 **************** on April 8th 2022 for total of ******* When I received my order April 11 2022 it was the wrong ignition coil. I called them immediately and they told me I ordered the wrong parts. We argued back and forth and someone finally said that they would email a return shipping label to send wrong parts back and I didn't hear back from them so I called again and then I was told by another person that I had to ship the parts back in the original shipping box that I had already thrown away. I just want the correct parts for my car or a full refund. In the pictures u can clearly see that they are not the ignition coil that I orderedBusiness Response
