I've been ordering from ECS Tuning for years. I don't know what these other people's problems are but ECS has never screwed me on anything. I've spent thousands with them for three VWs and a Mercedes and I have never had a problem. One time, they sent me the wrong brake pads. They sent me a label, I shipped it back, and they even sent me the correct pads before even getting the wrong ones back. Their customer service phone game is top notch! The people I've spoken to always knew what they were talking about. There's actually a review on here about a guy complaining to ECS that the shipping company screwed up. How's that the vendor's fault? Geez, put your big boy pants on and handle it, man! I can honestly say that after all the business I've done with this company, if they were going to give me a bad time, it would have happened at least five times by now. I will always use ECS for my stuff! Thanks for always doing a great job and taking care of me. I am a grateful and loyal customer!

I ordered headlight Lens Covers for BMW E39, took 8 days to get here only to find one of the glass inner lenses was broken on arrival. Tried to contact customer support but just an endless loop of waiting, no one answered the phone, just total BS. I would recommend you buy anyplace else than with these people.

I usually don't write reviews but I feel like I had to since I saw so many bad reviews, Starting with customers service 10/10 I had an issue on the website and they help me out and I finally got my order, it took 5 business days to arrive as they said in the beginning and all the items were in perfect conditions, Thanks to "ECS Tuning" I would definitely buy from them again highly recommend.

Recently purchased an item from ECS Tuning. I thought I supposely purchased as a new item but instead I received a used return item (with a Return Merchantdis Authorization form filled by another customer who returned it) inside the package. ECS sold me a used return item as a new item. This is fraud business practice to me. Bought many parts from them over the years but they've lost me as their cutomer over this $85 purchase. read more

complete clowns Purchased a part that is explicitly advertised on their site for my exact car. I even called to double check and make absolute certain I would be sent the right fitment (needed smaller of two sizes offered)... & was guaranteed that I would. sure enough - i was sent the wrong product (the larger of the two). each time i called back, i got a different story. Ultimately, they come to the conclusion that they dont actually offer 2 sizes and do not have what they are selling/advertising on site. Fair enough - they offer to refund me... but ding me for shipping. really? after all that... poor form. complete circus. I would strongly encourage you to avoid these guys & purchase elsewhere with (hopefully) a reasonable level of customer service/decency/product knowledge. PASS. read more

Your location If I could give negative stars I would! Customer service absolutely SUCKS and their management team, Amanda Hartline (customer service manager), and Erin Richmond (customer service supervisor), are no help at all, and have no business being in the positions they are in! I had the worst experience with this company! I ordered a cup kit and a kit that says it includes EVERYTHING to intstall it. After realizing i didn't have EVERYTHING to instal it i contacted customer suport. Their representative told me that i needed $600 more to install the cup kit. Well, the EVERYTHING kit doesn't even work with the cup kit they sold me. I politely asked to speak with a supervisor (yes, frustrated) but, never once did I yell or curse as Amanda Hartline puts it..... *Calls are recorded Amanda, why you lying, always F'n lying Amanda?!?!?! Never once was I ever given an apology for their mistakes or actions, instead I was laughed at and disregarded. I ended up taking the cup kit and EVERYTHING kit to a local shop, and they said ECS sent me the wrong parts (go figure) and to purchase the right parts would cost $170, compared to ECS's quote of $600, WHAT A JOKE! This company which also owns Turner, and Pelican absolutely SUCKS with not only their lack of knowledge, mis-representation, customer service, and overall managerial experience. If anyone else is having issues with this company, I suggest making a formal complaint with the Attorney General 1-800-282-0515. Do your research before buying anything from this company, see for yourself. I'm not the only one with these issues, Amanda Hartline! read more

ESC Tuning is a terrible company to deal with. Their comission based sales people are untrained and only focused on the pay check not the customer satisfaction. If you get Austin as a sales person you will be riped off, and I can only think that all other sales people are the same. Do not use them.. read more

If it's listed as in stock they're not shipping from their location. It's all drop shipped from random locations spread out and there's no guess as to when you'll actually get your complete order. Don't bother paying for faster shipping, it doesn't make it any better. They can't package anything to save their life either. Plenty of better options to buy parts from that you shouldn't have to waste your time with ECS. I've given them more chances than I should have. read more

I placed an order for some fasteners Oct 3, 2021. After a week the order had not shipped, even though their information indicated that all parts were either in stock or were expected from another warehouse by Oct 7. I have contacted them every day for over a week but the order still has not shipped. I requested to speak with a manager regarding the shipping delay and the information posted on their website. I was transferred to a voice mailbox, and have not received a return call. I was ready to order a set of custom wheel that just went on sale, but I would rather spend full price direct from the manufacturer to avoid another unexplained shipping delay with no accountability. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. I placed a large order with them with supportive assistance from Michael Panning. I placed the order with my Visa card. The company, in a terse email, indicated they would not accept my credit card and wanted a wire transfer instead. This is unheard of. I wire transferred the money to them (with much protest) and two days later the order still had not shipped. On top of that they carry little inventory so much of my order was drop shipped from various vendors. This means that I am at the mercy of 3rd parties for timely delivery of components. To add insult to injury, they charged me $25 for a wire transfer fee. Luckily the sales rep buried a $100 price drop on a component to compensate. I notified the CA State Attorney General office with a notice of deceptive business practices. I also notified Visa international that one of their merchants is not honoring their Visa banking agreement. This is a small unprofessional company that I would advise everyone to stay away from. Previously I had two small orders delivered. The first arrived with damaged parts due to terrible packaging for shipment. The second order was the exact same thing with the box delivered torn open. Folks, use FCP Euro or other parts suppliers but stay a mile away from this company. read more

Shipping is the worst. Customer service is hit or miss. Slightly cheaper than the dealership but waiting 10 days for an item is crap. But the time you upgrade the shipping you are paying almost the same as the dealership and can get it the same day read more

Sadly, I'm not doing business with this company. I have ordered many parts and spent a lot of money here, but they do not stand behind the parts they sell. Bought a set of what I assumed were new brake rotors, they came in an ECS box just packed with newsprint. The other set of rotors ordered came brand new in the manufacturer box. The "used" set I received had scratches on the hat and the other rotor had rust on the inside. Had them installed on my vehicle and my mechanic noticed a strange vibration/clicking sound that got louder the harder the car would brake. He did not recommend using them and removed them right away. I explained the situation to ECS, supplied pictures and all they would do is refund my shipping. Said they don't offer a warranty on this type of part. You would think if a part gets sold that is clearly defective, the company would make it right for the customer. Think again. I had a good run with these guys, but I should have looked at the reviews. Please do not do business with them, there are plenty of other European parts suppliers who stock better parts and provide better service. Also note that ECS Tuning and Turner Motorsports are the same company, so use caution when dealing with either one. read more

Don't ignore the people that have posted about customer service and shipping time. Horrible customer service, My package was lost and have the fedex case number and everything and I am asking for my money back, and they are telling me I have to deal with fedex directly, and that they are not responsible. I asked for a refund because now I am a couple of hundred and this guy sends me this, see picture. Poor Poor customer service. I have purchased parts from them for years. Smh read more

If I could provide a zero star rating I would. These people will constanrly lie to you and tell you parts are in stock when they obviously are not then they will back order them and make you wait with no expedited shipping. If and when you do finally receive your parts they will be damaged and/or the wrong parts for a different vehicle all together. Like I tell everyone else now, this is not an isolated event, its extremely habitual and will be the LAST time I order from them for myself or any of my customers vehicles. You are better off buying what ever it is you're buying off of ebay and I am not exaggerating. read more

Stay away... Last order I did with them was supposed to ship to deliver next day. It failed to deliver the first day, failed to deliver the second day etc. They are a big enough company to get exception notices automatically but I guess they don't care enough to do anything about them Customer service reps are lazy and rude. I tell them the fedex tracking has said the same thing for four days and the CSR starts telling me no it hasn't blah blah blah. I am looking at the tracking bud... I tell them over and over the package is lost it isn't going to deliver. I need a replacement or a refund. They tell me they will take care of it and I will get a call back and an email. Never happens. Now they tell me the package is being returned to them (although fedex tracking does not show this) and I will be credited once received. I don't know that they ever actually sent this package and it is certainly not my responsibility to locate it. Can't believe how incompetent and arrogant these people are. read more

Saved by ECS! So I recently noticed an oil leak coming from my dear ol S5. Went crazy going under her, checking the drainage plug, seals ect. Come to find out it was the oil filter cap. Searched like hell to find one to replace the existing cracked one, and could not find something worth the expensive price for a brand new one. Asked around in my club and was recommended to ECS. Was the best choice I made. Instead of the plastic replacement cover that comes OEM, they had a perfect black billet aluminum replacement. Ordered on 4/20/17 and received a confirmation and tracking # the same day. 7 days later I get a package from ECS, and behold, the brand new filter cap. After removing the old cap and placing the old filter holder into the new one, I put the new one on, fill the oil and vwalah! No more leak! Could not be happier with this purchase and look forward towards my future purchases with ECS. read more

*UPDATE* What a nightmare. After sending my part back, and seeing it had been delivered I still have not received my refund. After contacting customer service I was told that the refund was processed as store credit "for some odd reason". No. The truth is after talking on the phone and trying to convince me not to take my money back, you give me a store credit refund in hopes that I'll spend the money in your terrible online store so you can keep it. Nope, you don't get to keep my business. Requested that an email be sent to their billing department that states I want the refund sent back to my original payment method. What a shady company. Hoping I receive my money back within a few days. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! Ordered a few things from ECS which included the turner carbon fiber intake and a tow/bolt strap. ECS decided to package the two together which didn't bother me at first until I received my package. When I opened the box, the packing was very light to the point that the bolt was most likely moving freely around the box during shipment. Unpacked my very expensive carbon fiber intake only to notice that the inlet where my vacuum hose hooks into is cracked and broken...Set up a return for the item only to have it be pending approval until 6 days later when I check my return status to see that it was rejected. Decided to chat online with customer service to see why it was rejected since I had attached pictures etc. The first person I chatted with apparently didn't know what I was talking about because after mentioning that my INTAKE was the issue, she returned the trunk spoiler in the same order. Ok no big deal I'll get back on the chat. Second person I talked with seemed to be under the impression that the return had already been processed and they had emailed me the labels etc. I insisted this was not the case only for them to turn around and tell me that I would have to call to give them "more information". At this point I'm frustrated because I have no clue what more information they could possibly need. I decide to place the phone call and wait on hold for a while until finally I get in touch with an actual person and explain once again the situation. When I asked what more information, they needed I was told that they just "wanted to know if I wanted to just replace the broken part". I already told the previous person that I wanted a FULL REFUND, so instead of just giving it to me they made me waste my time by calling in and telling them the SAME EXACT THING I told the last person. Will never order from this company ever again. It shouldn't take three interactions with customer service to get a return processed. Your customer service needs to be taken back to the drawing board. read more

I placed an order for a BRAND NEW scan tool from my vehicle. What I received was a device that came in clearly USED packaging and a device that is locked to the previous owner. Thats is simply fraud. sold a NEW product and received a USED one. To make matters worse, customer service did not even apologize. instead they stated the only way to help me was to by the product again and return the USED one. Why would I buy from you again if you burned me once already?!?! Any retailer where this has happened would send a replacement with a return label. simple, good customer service. DO NOT BUY FROM ECS, THEY ARE FRADUSTERS!!! UPDATE: After my previous BBB complaint and accepting their resolution, ECS tuning has decide to retaliate and cancel two other existing orders I had with them. They also informed me they have blacklisted me from their site. Is this how you do business? Retaliating against customers legitimate complaints? Whatever bruised ego that made that decision is an idiot and is costing you money. You need to rethink your current hires stat! read more

Ive spent over 4k total buying from this company in the past. Recently I've tried to cancel a couple of orders days in advance from this company and they intentionally ignored my emails and decided to ship the parts to me anyways. This cost me one-day shipping money which I won't get back and forced me parts I already received from another company at a lower price and faster time frame. Joke of a company. Don't do business with them....Also their RMA department sucks ass and takes forever. Good job on loosing yet another customer and thousands of dollars. read more

ECS Tuning is good in that they have put effort into their page. They've don't eh parts research for you. But that about it. They're shipping is horrible. You're looking at at least a 2 weeks wait until something is shipped out. So order your stuff at least a month out before you need it. SHM they used to be okay with shipping. They gone read more

Have ordered 2-3k from ECS past 10 yrs, am 2.5 hours drive from ecs, and choose shipping. Yes I have a delayed order at the moment, but most of the low star reviews mirror my experience ordering from west coast euro parts stores, especially when those stores order from manufacturers. No buyer/seller has control over customs or logistics. We've all got 3 years of weirdness under our belts and everything happens "just in time" until it doesn't. Use credit cards online so your stop payment request comes from the banks money - not yours. read more

I will never order anything from ECS Tuning ever again. Here's what lead me to this decision. I ordered some electronic struts and lowering springs for my car. It took more than a month for the struts to arrive. I'm still waiting on the springs. They arrive a week or two later. I decided to open the box of the struts to check them out just to find out the four struts came With one box that was cut open. It's missing a connector. I can't use three connectors on a 4 strut car. I emailed them requesting a connector replacement. They took like two weeks to get back to me. Finally it shows a shipping update. It will be sent out 30 days later. I wait. Then it's about time I should be receiving this connector. I check the shipping status and it says canceled. No notification or anything. I called today and asked for a return label. At least that was fast. Wasted almost three months for nothing. I could have just ordered from somewhere else. I placed the order in November 30, 2020. Now I'm sending back the struts. read more

When you order parts from them either website or phone they will tell you what part fits your car and they are often wrong. This has happened at least 4 times in my last few orders. If that wasn't enough they sit on your order for a week before creating a shipping label and then they sit on that. They make no effort to repair customer relationships. Oh they did offer a sticker in one occasion and that wasn't even free they put it in my cart and expected me to buy it as a consolation to their mistake. Crazy!! They lost my business. My next build they won't get a dime. read more

No longer using ECS but have found their competitor FCP Euro to be better in all aspects. Pricing on par or better than ECS and they have a easy to use lifetime warranty on items which I have utilized myself a few times already. Best part, items ship and arrive in timely manner, normally before the estimated date. Cannot say I would ever use ECS again now that I know about FCP Euro. read more

Ordered a part at a decent price off their website. Part said it was going to come in on 1-13. On 1-13 I got an email saying the part was going to be delayed. I have a trip planned later in the week and the part is delayed till then. Its part of their direct ship program so instead of offering a solution to make it right by the customer they offered nothing but excuses and pushing blame on the 3rd party vendor. I asked for a refund so I can purchase a different part from someone else because I didnt have time to wait . The refund is going to take longer than the part coming in, although they probably couldnt really confirm when the part was going to come in because its coming from a 3rd party vendor they are just hosting on their site. I never review on yelp and I really hope this review makes you reconsider ordering other parts from them. Because who knows what is coming from a 3rd party vendor or not? Side note they want me to attach photos and Im tempted to post the photos of the nothing I have read more

I am astonished by this company. I wanted to order an OEM rearview mirror with an advertised price of $96. As I save it to my cart and try to check out, the cart changed the price to $124. I went on chat and was told, oh, there was only one at that price. Really, one? One standard OEM mirror at the reduced price, oh and it was just purchased and no longer available. Is that just to get the company to pop up in a google search so an unsuspecting buyer clicks? I would really examine your business practices. I even registered for their newsletter prior to attempting to order thinking this might be a good outlet for my newly purchased car. You might want to explore your customer acquisition and retention costs. The best part was the add was still active with the $96 price on google when I tried to checkout and was chatting with the rep. Update: I received an email from ECS advising that the item in my Wishlist had dropped and showed the $96 price. I click on the link and then open the cart to find its back to $124. What was the point of sending me the email? read more

By far the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Parts did not fit as per sales rep. After dozens of calls with no resolution I finally got a manager who promised to fix the situation and make things right and give me an answer both via email and with a phone by the following day, guess what nothing! After another dozen calls talking to various people who where just doing nothing I finally called my credit card company and charged it back! It cost me hundreds of dollars in labor costs and shipping. I should have read all the negative reviews prior to ordering. DO NOT ORDER FROM FROM ECS IS ALL ABOUT THE SALE AND NOTHING ELSE. THE WORST COMPANY I'VE EVER GIVEN BUSINESS AND AN EXPENSIVE LESSON LEARNED! read more

Sometimes takes them a week ship something they have in stock.. not a week to get it a week to put it in the mail.. when you call or live chat with them you get the standard idiot 20 something.. terrible customer service is the norm... do yourself a favor and swim to Germany to get your parts faster read more

Went Online to purchase a fire extinguisher for my gt3, before I placed the order I made sure it fits my car and even tried out the option online " does it fit my car". Part came unexpectedly because I couldn't even track it, every time I clicked the tracking number it stated no updates. Once the parts came in I was excited to add them on, 1. Poor packaging, 2. Instructions that was in the package was for a completely different bracket 3. The wrong item. The mount was completely wrong... thank god the gt3 requires only 2 bolts or else I can't picture someone, taking off the seats then waiting god knows when for the correct part. I still haven't seen the customer service side form them. Will keep an update. If they handle this problem quick I will change my opinion. read more

To be honest I've had some decent experiences with ecs tuning but through the years, I've had just really awful experiences that completely ruin everything. Originally things started out okay, I'd order something, it would come in, I'd install it. A bit pricey but oh well, I had spare cash. Then I'd have shipping problems. Where they'd take my money but never ship the items. When asked about it, they said the billing address was wrong. They never once let me know that though, it took me asking where my stuff was when they were already paid. When confronted about the issue, customer service was the biggest headache. After pulling teeth, I was able to get my items. After that awful experience I decided to give it one more try, and this is what led me to never shop here again. I was sent multiple items that did not fit my car. After double checking everything, matching up the description and VIN, I was sure it was the wrong items. I emailed customer service which was ignored not once, not twice, but three times before they replied. These emails were spaced a week apart to ensure I wasn't rushing anyone. When they finally replied they said they could send me store credit for the items once I shipped them back. Whatever store credit is better than nothing. I sent them back and nothing. I emailed THREE times again until someone responded saying sorry they're on vacation. I gave them another THREE weeks before writing again wondering just how long they get vacation. No reply. So all in all, started out good, got horrible. I was robbed, my money stolen. And the sad thing is, the end deficit was probably only 200 bucks. But stealing from your customers is enough for me to warn potential ones. Hopefully the 200 dollars they stole from me can prevent them from stealing 500 or a grand from someone else. -UPDATE- After reading the response by Thomas, I decided to update my review. I can understand attempts at damage control but I believe it my responsibility to make the customer aware. I am posting the pictures of the emails for the audience to read for themselves. Note the dates and how long and how many times it takes for me to get a reply. In response to Thomas: The reason you can't find any transactions to Denton is because people move. If this is an attempt to discredit my review, you can check both of my account on ECS, note the different addresses. The name isn't under "Scott" because that's my middle name, people do that too. I will message you the email accounts used and you will see I have multiple addresses as I was in the military. There's no way I can prove that ECS charged me while neglecting to ship my order, so in all fairness, take it. I didn't keep the emails unfortunately for this incident as it was 4-5 years ago. Luckily I saved the most recent, and last conversation I had with ECS. I've provided proof above in this review. I don't care what "seems strange" to ECS as I was a former customer and your opinions on my experience don't discredit the fact. This was in 2012, maybe things are done differently now, hopefully they are. My review still stands, you don't steal money from people in the past and expect them to be okay with the company in the future, no matter if it's changed or not. I do hope your customer service department has changed, and I commend the company if it has. Below, you will see all my orders in the pics. Out of all these, I had fitment issues with order #'s 476-486-517 with the filter housing at 74.95 and the oil drain valve at 34.95, which I attempted to get credit for and didn't, totaling 109.90. I then had another fitment issue with order # 445-752-376 on the tow hook which I did not receive credit for as well, now totaling 158.85. So I did make a mistake in my original review, only 158.85, not including shipping, was stolen from me. I rounded up to 200 as I didn't want to do the math for you. Since my "claims" were unbelievable to you, just keep the money, I'm past that. Just know that the cost of losing a customer that spent a total of 4,388.16 on your company was a measly 158.85. That doesn't seem like the wisest of choices but to each business practice their own. And no, I'm not contacting customer service anymore, I'm done with it, and now I'm making future customers aware. Hopefully, the company has changed, but based on your response and how you treat customers with legitimate issues, I doubt it. --UPDATE 2--- Just realized, after re-reading the emails, several more items had fitment issues that I simply tossed. So, I guess that's more money wasted, oh well. Buyer beware! read more

Although the website is great and the selection is excellent, many parts are not in stock and the website could do a little better to display that information. My primary issue is the shipping, economy is stated 5-7 business days but seems to be close to 7-14 business days, economy is FedEx smartpost, which is not very smart since FedEx delivers in circles sometimes (per their own updates), and the shipping time seems to be how long it takes FedEx to get it to a major USPS center (not even your local post office) so 5-7 days + several days waiting on USPS. So in terms of shipping cost + speed for 2018... not great at all, especially when it's car parts. Spend money for free shipping? It's still smart post. Some items not in stock or backordered? They won't ship until everything is in one box- which saves them money, but can extend your lead times waiting on less important parts if you're not carefully planning your order around this. My last order I added several other items, some not necessary, others 'thats a maintenance thing why not'... and then an o-ring that I actually need to get free shipping... Per the above though, I had to cancel everything on the order cause one part would have hung up the order even longer than I'm already still waiting... I'm currently waiting on a $1.01 O-ring to fix a leak in my car, that cost $6.99 to ship, and was supposed to be here two days ago, and the latest FedEx update is not showing any arrival date. ECS Tuning could have mailed this O-ring to me for what... $.49 + an envelope and it likely would have arrived already. If ECS added UPS as a shipping partner, or utilized USPS directly instead of smartpost, would probably work out better- as this seems to be a common complaint. Will I keep using ECS? Maybe to do my part research on as they have such an amazing website and even live customer chat to answer questions... but other companies shipping actually gets the parts I need in my hands and that will probably be where my dollar will start landing. Essentially the poor shipping experiencing is causing the same issue brick and mortars like Best Buy experience every day- show rooming. read more

I ordered a camshaft from ECS on 11 May 2020. When I placed my order it showed that it is in stock and will ship in 2 days. After I placed my order, I waited for two days and the Order Status showed that I was required to contact customer services myself (instead of they contacting me) I contact the CS, I was told that the camshaft I order was an old model. For the same camshaft, now I need to order another KIT SET which cost a double, namely $7xx one. I told them I knew that the camshaft is exactly the same and most importantly, it is in stock when I placed my order. The CS tell me bluntly "No it wasn't" I request the CS to honor the order by shipping the OLD model to me anyway as it appears that their inventory system seems to have error Once again a brutal reply by simply saying "No" One Star for at least I was allowed to cancel my order Good job ECS Tuning read more

Long-time ECS Tuning customer. Ordered Luft-Technik Intercooler Kit w/Charge Pipes for my late model Allroad this December. While the shipment was one-day late, the issue with the shipment was the condition of the boxes when I received them. As you can see from the attached photos, the intercooler end pipes were covered with red plastic caps (good), but one end of the intercooler completely punched-through the end of the box (bad). The other box with the Charge Pipes & attachment hardware was damaged, too. The strapping tape that was supposed to seal the top flaps of the box were ripped open across the entire length of the box, almost as if someone tried to open the box, but left ONE thread of the strapping tape intact to restrain the top flaps from totally opening and dumping the contents of the box. Thankfully, all the hardware was accounted for and undamaged, but based on the conditions of the boxes, it was if ECS Tuning used up eight of nine cat lives to get these packages to me. ECS Tuning needs to use a higher-quality boxes and better packaging methods to ensure hardware worth hundreds of dollars is safely delivered to the end customer. read more

I ordered the Kohlefaser Luft-Technik Intake System - With Carbon Fiber Air Box & Carbon Fiber Tubes. It looks beautiful and sounds great. It is an ECS Tunning product developed for them and i decided to purchase it after i was informed that the intake i had originally planned on buying made by Forge Motorsports was not in stock because Forge was having issues with the intake throwing check engine lights ( not something i wanted to risk so i was grateful to have someone steer me away from problems). i had great service from Mike Panning! i could not have asked for a more dedicated and helpful sales rep. He meet all expectations and then surpassed them. He looked up different pictures of the engine bay of my car specific to modifications i have done previously to make sure what i wanted to purchase was going to work perfectly and he did not let me down. The problems occurred on install due to a less than perfect design. I needed the Secondary Air Filter Adapter Kit for a CBFA engine. Which i purchased with my original order and received with my order in a very timely 3 or 4 business days ( i always get good timely shipments from ECS). The problem was the bracket no matter how it was positioned in the engine bay if mounted where the instructions said to the filter made contact with something in the engine bay( please excuse my ignorance for not knowing what it was making contact with but it was a grey metal object underneath the air box toward the engine not toward the driver side tire). If i mounted it any other way the hose for the secondary air filter would kink. I eventually bent the bracket so the secondary air filter was aimed slightly toward the air box but once the air box was securely put in place it was forced back down toward the grey metal object i was trying to get if away from in the first place. So basically the secondary air filter is making contact with something in the engine bay that it is not intended to and that is disappointing to say the least. My next problem was i simply was not given enough rubber seal to go around the edge of the air box and the lid of the air box where the carbon fiber pipe enters the air box. such a simple thing and relatively inexpensive it is very disappointing that something this cheap was not given in abundance to make sure the installer could easily and without doubt seal around the pipe. i have about 3/8 of an inch of a gap. and none was wasted or discarded. My last problem i incurred when installing was that the cover to the air box and one of the threaded holes for the 5 allen key screws to thread into was not threaded in the proper location. So i was simply not able to get in threaded into place as it should be and had to leave it not installed because it wanted to push the air box cover in and create a gap between the air box and the cover. please note that this was not one of the screws located in the back of the box in a very difficult location to install but rather the screw hole on the side of the box closest to the engine with the most room to install. so it was not for lack of trying very diligently or a tough location that the screw was not installed but rather less than acceptable factory fabrication. And last but not necessarily least for $650 (+$25 for the secondary air filter) ECS Tuning did not think that a decal was something worth including in this equipment purchase. WOW is all i have to say. Most companies would love for you to slap a decal on so people will ask about where and what it is that you have but apparently not ECS Tuning. All in all i like the look , sound and performance of the intake mentioned in the review above just significantly disappointed in the little things. And lets be real the little things make a HUGE difference. With the upmost honesty, Nick Stone read more

I have bought from BIMMERSPECIALIST.COM, now pelican parts, and really liked the way everything was shipped. They always have an item that is hard to find. But, last week was my first order with ECS Tuning. The parts had to be delivered on Saturday to me, instead of promised Friday, the day before, but sales person told me that the order was placed a little late close to cut off, to get them on Friday, so I just figured that they would arrive the following week. But SATURDAY, they arrived, and I was so pleased. My car had a noise in the rear, from incorrect installation of the 4 rear upper shock mounts, and had been noisy for at least 5 years. Come to find out the rear lowest mount called the Supporting Cup, had been installed upside down by Dinan Dealer, so the noise was coming from the supporting cup lip rubbing against the underbody mount hole for the shock assembly, making a HUGE chatter, like a NUT CHOPPER. This was what I had nicknamed my BMW 335i Coupe, (Little Nut Chopper) for the last 5 years. ECS Tuning helped me rename my car, (Little Piece of Heaven), after shipping me new rear upper and lower shock mounts for my Dinan/Koni Shocks that were improperly installed some 5 years ago. I simply printed their diagram at ECS Tuning Website for the correct installation of the rear upper shock mounts, and removed my shocks from the car, once the SATURDAY delivery had been obtained from ECS Tuning Representative. Once removed from the car, I immediately found that the one upper shock mount part (Metal Supporting Cup), was installed upside down, and had worn out another rear shock mount thin rubber bushing, that was mounted above the Supporting Cup part on the car. I opened my shipment from ECS Tuning to find all parts there, just as I ordered them, and decided to reuse the Supporting Cup, even though I had ordered brand new supporting cups for this car. I used the new thin rubber bushings, that were shipped, and reinstalled the Koni Shocks to the car. Sunday was my beautiful Wife and my test drive date, to see if the BMW 335i Coupe was any quieter. I knew it was going to be better, when I started reinstalling the top nut washer assembly to the car. The shaft was taller inside the car, so I knew that this meant, everything was where it was supposed to be. That Sunday was the happiest day of my LIFE!!!! Even my Wife knew that the car was quieter, before we even got out of our driveway. AND I WAS SMILING!!!! When the Wife is Happy, EVERYBODY IS HAPPY!!! We happily drove the car for at least 4 hours Sunday afternoon. It was like I had a brand new 2008 BMW 335i Dinan 3. I have been so pleased with ECS Tuning, that I emailed them to let them know how much I appreciated the parts, and prompt arrival of the parts. Chris Van Hauter immediately responded to my email with this brief remark........... Dennis, Thanks for writing and expressing your satisfaction with our services. It is always good to hear that a customer is more then happy with the products that we provide and that our services go above and beyond what you have experienced in the past. If you need anything in the future you are free to contact myself or anybody in the sales/ customer service departments. We are here for any questions you may have. Glad to hear your car is fixed! We appreciate your business. Have a great day! These people at ECS Tuning made a $139.00 purchase, the most important purchase of my LIFE!!! My Dinan Prepared 335i Coupe, was the happiest car in the world, and I was the happiest customer that had ever made a purchase from ECS Tuning. I highly recommend ECS Tuning to anyone that loves their Ultimate Driving Machine as much as I do. GREAT JOB ECS...... I WILL PURCHASE AGAIN IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE!!! read more

I just bought a new car from a completely new brand, so I wanted to find a new aftermarket part supplier for my car. Came across ecs just by chance and at first I honestly was just checking out what all is out there for my car. So i found some things I liked for the car and came back to ecs after seeing that an oil catch can they had was cheaper, not by a whole lot just $30, but I still went for it. Now the specific oil catch can I was going for was the oil catch can by NM for a 2009 mini cooper s, and if you look it up its a black catch can with blue fittings for $300. Now thats a lil pricey for a catch can but it just really looked clean in the photos. So i went for it. It finally came in the mail a week later. Open it up, those blue fittings were black. Now its a minor detail for what it is. But its the reason why I bought it, and it wasn't the cheapest of catch cans. But its also kinda confusing since there was an image of the catch can and the blue fittings on the outside of the ups box next to the shipping info. I call customer service, and a Jeff Raskow answered and helped me out. He was very professional and answered all that I had to ask without me having to ask the questions. Even to the point when I was confused on the return info, called back and he answered again and helped out again. Now the specific thing he said would happen is that the product would be checked out to verify that the fittings were blue. Two weeks later the new exchanged part came in the mail (today). The package looked the same but with one major difference. Next to the shipping info was a blue stamp that said "part: blue" showing that it was indeed reviewed for the blue fittings. Couldn't be happier. I open it, and guess what, the fittings were still black. So naturally I called customer service right away. Then a Michael Panning answered, and I said what your reading, and he said "it seems that it may be a error with the company NM" i simply said well if it comes down to it i would rather have my money refunded" and he automatically said he would send the return info and fedex shipping email. Now this is a simplified version of what was said, but it was a very dull, simple answer, not much help conversation. Not even a well we can try again if you'd like, or anything showing a willing "we can fix it attitude" that you would expect. I didn't even want justify what i said about the refund for the simply idea that if he simply didn't try or show effort, then screw it, give me the refund I give up too. The first customer service experience i had was great and helped me out. The second one tho, made my whole ecs experience under welling. And sadly I'll just find somewhere else to shop. Thank you for reading this. read more

I contacted ECS Tuning when I was doing some research on a new oil catch can for my 2015 Dodge Dart... As I am not the targeted audience for this companies products I had some questions about the can and everything it came with. I contacted ECS and had a great experience with their customer service! When I called in, I was greeted very friendly and was not told that since I did not have a "High end" tuning car that they wouldnt be able to help me. My main questions for them were if their catch can came with fitting to connect to the lines in my car. I did not, BUT the customer service their helped me both look for and find the correct fittings that worked with their catch can to make it work with my application! I then ordered my Universal Oil Catch Can on 5/12/17... Order# 575-075-657. The only thing I was a little upset about was that the catch can was out of stock at the time and had been put on back-order... Then I got an email a day or two later saying that it had shipped! I know this is NOT ECS's fault but stupid Fed-Ex took over 7 days to deliver my catch can to me from their shop in Ohio, to my house in Northwest Illinois... A drive that easily be made in 5.5-6 hours. Maybe ECS can work on trying to use UPS more often cause Fed-Ex SUCKS and I have had nothing but problems with them every time a vendor ships with them. Other than that, The can got to me and LOOKED GREAT! The only downside was the o-ring that seals the can portion to the filtering head... In the picture on the website, it looks like it is much larger and fills in the area it sits. When I got mine it looked MUCH smaller and only filled in about 1/2 the area it sat in. The only reason I was worried about this was because my previous catch can was having leaking issues due to this very same thing... The sealing o-ring being too small. I contacted ECS and talked with Josh and he was able to explain that the o-ring they use has been tested and is designed to resist turbo pressure through the catch can. He also told me that if anything happened like a leak or the o-ring breaks, to contact him and he would be able to send me a replacement for free! Overall, I am very happy with ECS Tuning and their customer service! I have just installed the catch can a few days ago, so hopefully next oil change ill go in there and find a decent amount of caught oil! Then I can right a good product review on their well designed catch can! read more

Great place for parts and maintenance items. I've been very satisfied. Just about the best prices anywhere and they've matched prices for me in the past. I've quite satisfied and happy. Except for basic fasteners. For fasteners of any sort, I suggest the dealer though. ECS' database doesn't always list things well. For instance recently on order number 787-892-359, I wanted new hardware for a Mk4 Golf end link where it bolts to the lower control arm. I couldn't determine the correct bolt from descriptions on the website and called. I was told that the part was the Upper Sway Bar Pin WHT001902. I said I thought that it was what it was labeled, for the end link to the sway bar but the person on the phone despite my saying that the bottom was secured by a hex bolt on every one I've seen but the ECS rep on the phone said it's what the database said was the right part so I ordered it, with me assuming that VW may have changed the part which is not uncommon. As it turned out, what I was told to order was already part of the end links that I was ordering. It was of course not the right fastener. I didn't contact to have it replaced because at $5 each X2 it wasn't worth the hassle of my time to initiate a possible return. I'm not sure if the correct part was in the database at the time or not but the correct part is N10467902 and is in the database now. It's only described as M10x50 bolt. ECS frequently describes what the application is for an item and should in the case of fasteners if they know when they order. Instead of $5, it's $1.60. I suspect someone does at ECS since they sell a kit that includes the part I wanted that has end links, sway bar bushings and clamps, as well as bolts and nuts (instead of pins) for the upped part of the link and the bolts for the lower part of the link to the control arm. But it's $160.00 when I needed just two bolts that were between $1.75 and $3.20 for the pair. I ended up calling the closest VW dealer and they gave me the correct part number. $1.60 is list but their price was almost half. I don't blame ECS for charging list at all. They need to turn a profit on any item. I just had to make a 45 minute drive each way. For simple fasteners, your local dealer is probably the best source. Everything else? ECS probably is. They're great to deal with and very helpful. read more

Back when I had my 1.8t GTI, I always had good experiences with ECS. Such was not the case however, when I recently ordered a set of: ES # 2594449 - Exact fit, stainless steel braided, front brake lines, from them, for my 1987, 951. The crimp that holds the hose in the fitting, at the caliper is about twice as long on the ECS lines as it is on the stock version. This restricts the angel at which the ECS lines can be manipulated into the"keeper tabs" on the front struts - not so "exact fit" :-/ As a result, the hose/crimp connection got loosened on the side where I tried to get the hose grommet into that tab. "Hey" I thought to myself, "this @#%& thing says Exact fit!" When I noticed that my efforts had damaged the line, I figured, "No biggie. I just won't put the lines in the keeper tabs and call ECS for a replacement." After all, with no shortage of "ECS tuning" emblazoned all over them, they probably make them in-house and surely customer service could sell me a single line. I didn't mind paying for the one I broke, but I wasn't about to pay for two! Well apparently, the interpretation of "customer service" has become about as accurate as the interpretation of "exact fit" at ECS, since I last dealt with them. Now, I don't know if the young man I spoke to on the phone was new; or if he was playing Angry Birds on his phone; or just a plain, old sociopath, but it was pretty clear that "Mr. Customer Service" had no intention of making my problems, his problems. "Hey, I had some trouble getting these brakes lines installed and damaged one. Can I order a replacement?" "I'm sorry sir, but I don't have a part number to just sell one of them." "But I just need ONE. Why would I wanna pay for two? Besides, if you guys MAKE them, it's not like you have to break up a set and take a loss." "Yeah, I can't sell them in singles." "Gee, then I guess I can't order from you anymore. Oh, by the way, you might wanna edit the description of this item on your website and take out the "exact fit" part, and as far as the tab, on your page, that says "customer service" goes . . ." Let's just say I'll source my parts from a reputable PORSCHE supplier, from now on, and let ECS handle the stuff they can handle, i.e. Volkswagen parts and adhesive faux carbon fiber sheets. read more

I ordered some wheel spacers to improve the look of my Audi after getting aftermarket wheels that had a different offset than the stock wheels. The spacers are working fine, no wobble or anything so the product seems good. However, their shipping is terrible. I understand the shipping is through FedEx SmartPost or whatever, but they are the ones that choose to use this crappy service. I ordered the parts just before the holidays, hoping to receive them before January 1st/2nd because I was leaving on a road trip the first week of the year. I ordered the spacers on December 23rd, but I'm assuming because of the holidays and weekend they didn't even ship them until the following Monday/Tuesday. The estimated arrival was before Jan 1 so I was good. Apparently they didn't actually drop them off until a day AFTER the shipping label was created (I kept refreshing the tracking only to receive the "Shipping Label Was Created" notice for the first day) so that delayed the shipping. The ETA was still on the Friday before I was leaving so it was fine. I waited the entire week and checked the tracking everyday, so it was still ETA of Friday. On Friday I waited the entire day at home so I could install them, only to find NO PACKAGE. Upon checking the tracking, there was a "problem in delivery" and they wouldn't be delivered until January 3rd!! The day after I was leaving! Of course I called them to no avail. I tried contacting FedEx but they were already closed. If they had PAID extra for Saturday delivery I could have had them the next day, but nope I had to wait ANOTHER 3 extra days. It should NOT take 10/11 DAYS to ship from Ohio to California! Again I understand this is not 100% their fault but they CHOOSE to use FedEx SmartPost to save costs, and this is what happens when you go cheap. And perhaps if they had shipped them immediately instead of waiting a few days they would have gotten here on time. read more

Meh... This is one of those good news-bad news kind of reviews. Kit will work for my car. I bought a DIY transmission service kit for my 2009 Mercedes, that's the good news. Oh, and the service was excellent, arrived in less than a week. But the kit is not a DIY kit. That's the bad news. This is a job for a professional. There's no way to measure what you put into the car. No fill spout, no dip stick, so it really requires a shop to do the work, and guess what, most shops don't want you to supply the kit or the parts. So now I'm stuck with the kit and will be paying a pro to do the job with parts he buys. That's NOT indicated on the website, and was something I learned by wandering around my engine compartment, followed by a visit to two different Mercedes enthusiast websites. I see several reviews here lamenting delivery time. That was not a problem for me, got what I ordered in less than a week. EDIT - I see the comments from the seller. It's not the wrong kit, and I'm not your average DIY guy. I've rebuilt motors, torn down interiors, and sandblasted and prepped cars for paint. I have been involved in restorations as well and assisted on gearbox rebuilds as well. It's really my fault. I assumed if you're selling a DIY kit, it's complete, and a do-able project for an advanced amateur. This is not. The kit is the right kit for the car. The website needs to make it clear that you need specific Mercedes tools to make this work, and it defeats the purpose of buying a DIY kit if I have to spend several hundred dollars on tools and test equipment. Sure, I looked on youtube and found a couple guys doing the job, but they were guessing about fill levels, operating temperatures and other variables that are critical to the operation. It's not just a simple drain, replace filter and gasket and refill, it's way more. But to the seller - thanks for the offer to assist in providing the right stuff. read more

I recently bought 2008 VW R32 as my daily and I need to get some mods done. So, I called ECS first time and the person on the phone was super RUDE. I hung up and got me all confused because I thought ECS tuning was all about good customer service. Since I ordered few other parts for my BMW and Mini, I called them 2 days later and this guy JACOB answered the phone. He is super nice and knows a lot of about products. I end up order $6000 worth items within 3 weeks and I'm planning to install next week. I probably wouldn't order that much without Jacob's assistance. Also, I had a issue with billing department manager due to high amount transaction that which I can only pay through Paypal..I was pretty upset, but I end up agreed paying whole transactions thru paypal. I probably buy more items from them very soon such as ECS big brake kit and my wife's Cayman S(which will be arrived this summer).

Let me preface this review with the following statement: if your order is critical to be received by a certain date and time you should always choose to directly speak with a sales team associate to Ensure everything will arrive when you expect it. Also keep in mind if it must be there by a certain date don't expect to rely on the free shipping they provide. Ordering was easy, website is clear and concise. I've used ECS Tuning many times throughout the years for many complex automotive projects such as drum to disc brake conversion whole system brake rebuilds, large brake conversions, and other miscellaneous service related projects. I don't think I've encountered any parts that did not fit for anything that I've ordered from ECS so far. One thing that I was wishing ECS could improve upon is managing customers' expectations of in stock items and their associated shipping time estimates. Items are packed adequately and have been received without problems or damage with regards to my latest order. I also think ECS could continue to improve in the area of communicating with customers and overall could definitely improve their customer service in general. Point to stress here is if you're looking for concrete 100% nailed down time frames for availability and how quickly things will ship you should for sure talk to somebody before placing your order to make sure your expectations can be met. Additionally, again, with the mindset of managing customer expectations, if you need your items for a job for a customer buy a certain date and time you can use priority shipping or upgraded shipping or overnight shipping to meet your specific deadline, don't rely on the estimated shipping dates/or or in stock labeled items and the free ground shipping and associated shipping time estimates. read more

The ECS exhaust tips (Part No.ES 2918636) I purchased for my VW Mark VII GTI are made well but do not fit the vehicle as advertised. The tips are advertised to fit all Mark VII GTI's as well as other VW's and Audi's. I had to have a competent exhaust mechanic cut and weld new pieces onto my Mark VII GTI exhaust pipes for the exhaust tips to fit. The problem is the connection point is at the end of a radius in the exhaust pipe. After removal of the existing exhaust tips, there is not a sufficient amount of straight tail pipe remaining to install the new tips. Without adding a straight piece at the end of the radius, the exhaust tips stick out at a sideways angle. Even thought the ECS tips have some adjustment, it's not enough to make them fit straight out of the tail pipes. It cost me $214 to have my exhaust tail pipes modified to accept the ECS exhaust tips. I would never have purchased the ECS exhaust tips if I had know the cost and work involved to get tem to fit my vehicle. Additionally, when the exhaust mechanic called ECS for assistance, he was told the exhaust tips should fit without modification, nothing more in the way of advise or help. Another disappointment. Overall, I am very disappointed in this product and would definitely not recommend it to anyone else. When I have the time I will post my opinion on your referenced websites. I think ECS should revise their advertisement of these exhaust tips to include "exhaust system modifications are required on the Mark VII GTI for the exhaust tips to fit this model." I have purchased many Audi and VW parts from ECS in the past with complete satisfaction and expected a much better outcome than this. read more

I have been using ECS for a number of years and have had a mostly good experience. Recently however I was extremely frustrated with an order that really could have been handled better which leads me to wonder whether I will continue to use them as my primary resource. I placed an order that had 6 items on it. 5 of the items showed "In Stock" while one showed "If ordered now will ship (in 3 days)". Instead of breaking up the order and shipping all of the in stock items same day, they held all items until the one that was delayed was transferred from another location. When checked my order status a couple days after ordering to see what the tracking number was for the first 5 items...I noticed it was just sitting there waiting. I went online and chatted with support and asked them to break the order up. They gladly did so and I thought.."oh well...I only lost a day or two". Well not true. The order still stayed in the same state and ended up shipping on the same day the delayed part was originally supposed to ship (which that too was delayed an additional day). The point of all of this being is that an In Stock item should ship same day (yes...depending on when it was ordered and time zone and etc..). As others have stated, ECS does have a great selection of both aftermarket and OEM parts (but not always the best price - and they dont always price match which i dont understand). There are other options out there. While I have used them as my first stop for ordering parts, I now price/availability check them against a couple of other sources prior to ordering. I would say I am using them about 50% of the time now. read more

ECS is the best supplier I've used in the least 30 years for the automotive manufacturers that they specialize in - Porsche, BMW, MINI, Others. * They have completed 7 separate orders for me over the last 7 months. * Their website is very easy to use to find a huge supply of parts, including Genuine OEM. The automatic compatibility feature has always been accurate in my experience, unlike that of many other sites. * ECS seems to know what parts easily break, like clips, or get lost like grommets; and they have them available at a reasonable cost. Every time I work on my Mini, I break a $2.00 part that the dealer would charge a million dollars for. * ECS has always shipped my in stock orders out the same day or the next day. * Yeah, they charge shipping for most items on orders under $200.00, but it is reasonable and the overall prices with shipping are still low. * They are always my first stop for parts and accessories because they usually have what is needed for the lowest, or amongst the lowest, cost. * ECS answers the phone; and, their people are courteous and have always been knowledgeable. Really knowledgeable, not reading off a drone screen. * Their listings almost always include manufacturer information, part numbers, and full specifications so you can know what you are getting. * ECS's model is obviously to keep a massive inventory and availability of multiple parts for almost every application, disclose precisely what they are offering for a reasonable price, to deliver it efficiently, and provide great customer care. They are very good at it. read more

I have purchased parts and tools for my BMW using ECS Tuning for about 8 years now. They have good prices, uniquely packaged parts that to select from and their packaging and delivery has been great. The parts selections are usually split into groups consisting of manufacture branded and alternative OEM parts that are carefully selected and packaged that are essentially the same as the more expensive OEM manufacturer labeled parts. The one gripe I have is from my most recent purchase. It was advertised as "free shipping" for orders over $50. The free shipping option used FedEx as the carrier, so I selected that and anticipated it would arrive from Ohio to California easily within one week. Unfortunately, this free shipping option used "FedEx Smart Post", which is the slowest shipping possible and takes a meandering circuitous route that actually gets delivered to your nearest regional US Postal Service center for final delivery. A few days after I received a notification that a label was created and it had finally shipped, I called Customer Service and they told me delivery times are estimated to take 3 to 7 business days. The package finally arrived 14 days after I ordered the part, which included a weekend and holiday. So the process from ordering the part, receiving a "shipped" notification and actual delivery was 11 business days. My lesson learned is to only use this "free shipping" option if you don't need what you are ordering for about 2 weeks. Otherwise, use a paid shipping option, such as FedEx Ground, which will give you a guaranteed delivery date. read more

HORRIBLE. If negative stars was an option, I'd be hitting "11". Great selection of parts, but just try to get someone on the phone post-sale, period. Additionally, if you ARE able to start a dialogue with someone there, prepare to speak with someone who wouldn't know the first thing about taking ownership, or have a real care about your position or your role as their client. Lied to about shipping dates and product stock. Escalated to manager who attempted to spin responsibility to me. No channels of conversation available, other than a less than reliable chat engine and obscure email. No one picks up the phone, unless you're buying. And, when they don't want to talk to you anymore, because they don't like taking accountability, they "make" their technology act up, get rid of you, and then casually lose the chat log. I disputed a charge for parts guaranteed to fit, that did not. No way to get a hold of anyone, and clearly, they don't even care about the lost revenue, since my bank refunded me permanently in less than a week. Used to love these guys, but Turner needs to go in there and fire all these brats, and get some people in there that are used to working for a living, and understand they are in a consumer driven business. I'm not saying customer is always right, but these people are jerks, and should be washing floors somewhere, tucked well away from society. And Nick? You, SPECIFICALLY, S-U-C-K. read more

ECS ...what can I say. I'm not going to get into the issue I had with ECS because I am in retail and I understand that s*** happens. But, how well a company handles customer issues is as much as important as how well they handle things when it runs well. I am a first time customer and let me say, there's a guy by the name of Brandon in sales that, from start to finish, he handled everything with the utmost professionalism. I can't believe how patient he was in rectifying the issue. He offered an alternative to the part, and I am so glad he did because it turns out that the alternative was a much better fit when I installed it on my X5. He was very knowledgeable. He spoke to his manager and they took care of me promptly. He returned my calls and gave me the assurance that it was taken care of (I get nervous over the simplest of things). He left notes on my account so that when I called on another day when he was off, the other rep knew exactly what the issue was and they followed through. He had recommended an additional part that was on sale, to which I declined, and when I installed the parts that came, I realized that I'm gonna need that part he had recommended. So I called ECS and spoke to him, and he honored the price that was quoted. A true professional and skilled in customer service satisfaction. Will be a returning customer. Thanks ECS/Brandon -Bey read more

This is a continuation from a conversation between Thomas - ECS and myself. You can read below (its a 1 star review under Ken S). I thought my reply deserved it's own Star. Yes Thomas... ECS did email me. On May 18th you notified me that it was due in on the 19th. On May 23rd, you notified me that the part was simply BACK ORDERED and didn't supply a date. I just looked and it still has no date, mote than a month since. No one from ECS has contacted me since... unless you count the What Lies Beneath Email yesterday. I deal with foreign parts orders, back orders and shipping in my day to day and when I can't come through for a customer, I make it right... I do not leave it to them to have to ask or decide. If I have to eat the cost of the part, I do it. If I have to ship it on my dime, I do it. If I have to pay for the servicer to put it in because I have cost the customer down time by my suppliers inability to meet their stated dates, I DO IT! Do you catch my drift here? I'll take you up on your Free Shipping for the next up part, which it shows you have in stock. It's a 50% increase in price which eats up 50% of the shipping you are offering to cover. It makes no sense, because I guarantee you are making profit on the part and not the shipping. That's your choice. I'll be contacting you shortly to have my order revised. Regards. read more

Overall, a great selection of parts including both aftermarket, performance, and factory. Also, their kits are really helpful to get all the little pieces to get the job done. Prices are generally competitive. On the downside, it doesn't really seem like there is much of a customer care concern. If you have a problem, there is really not much support so don't count on anything. For example, if they ship you the wrong part, its not like, "oh, sorry we will get the right part out to you immediately. In the interim, we are sending you a return shipping label to get the process started. To compensate for our error, please find a 5% discount on your next purchase." Nope, its more like - "oh, we shipped you the wrong part. Hmmmmm....... ok, you ship the incorrect part back to us with the prepaid label. Once we confirm receipt of the returned part, then we will ship you out the correct part." No concern that your vehicle may be down this whole time with the back and forths that was their error in the first place. Quality control is poor in some regards also. They shipped me a box that had a completely different part in it and even worse, it had signs that it had been previously installed. Nothing worse than shipping used parts as new parts. Go for the selection and prices - Not for any level of customer service. read more

Order# 034-378-198 I ordered OEM brake pads and calipers for my Jetta. Site said it would ship in 2 business days. Ive ordered in the past and had great experiences but this time the shipping was delayed 3 times totaling over 1.5 weeks wait. I didnt even get updated on the delays unless I called in to check. When I called in the last time I expected a little more understanding from them in my frustration but their response was pretty cold. "yeah, we're pretty slammed. Sorry" When I asked what they could do to help get my parts here so I could safely drive my car they said I could A) continue to wait for the parts. B) Swap out the OEM parts I ordered for aftermarkets AND pay the difference with no discount on them (I'd also have to wait for those as they weren't in stock) or C) break up the order and not get the parts causing the delay and they'd ship out immediately. I chose option C and they shipped out the end of next day and it wasn't any expedited overnight shipping. Standard few day wait. So, by the time I got my parts it was not even the full order to do the job properly and it was 2 weeks later. Similarly to Ryan B. I usually am pleased but this past one seemed to lose all logistical comprehension and they really need to step their game up with as big of a job they do in this euro scene/marketplace. read more

I purchased an aftermarket thermostat for my 2003 BMW X5 4.6is earlier this year after having the oem diagnosed at a BMW dealer. Within 4 days of installing the aftermarket thermostat, got a check engine light for P0128 code; regulating temperature. Contacted ECS Tuning and had to buy another, wait for it, install the replacement then send the defective one back to get my money back while having a vehicle to use. Within a month, the X5 started overheating. The thermostat is electronically controlled so I couldn't test it. Took it to a shop and spent $297 to diagnose the overheat issue, replace a sporadic temp sensor and find out the aftermarket thermostat was the issue, again. Contacted ECS Tuning and they agreed to return the part but are unwilling to help w/ diagnosis cost of their defective component. All in all, they have taken their faulty parts back but have been very difficult to get ahold of. they frequently have issues with their login of their website, sell sub-par components and don't reimburse real costs associated with selling sub-par components. I have had significantly better luck with FCPeuro.com who has a lifetime warranty on their parts and are much easier to deal with. Buy OEM if you're gonna go with ECS Tuning. They at least have decent pricing compared to the dealer. read more
