Absolutely lovely. However, the engine has low compression and I need to take it out of my car to get another one installed.

Somewhere in western Oklahoma, one of my tires started losing air. This led to some interesting…read morecultural exchanges, but it got annoying after a while to have to stop every so often and have to refill the tire. When I got home, I was finally able to take it in, and was told that I had a cracked wheel. The next day at work, I was griping to a couple friends about how much this was likely to cost and they both suggested that I go to a junkyard. I had always heard about junkyards, but had never been to one. When I checked the yellow pages, I was happy to see that there was one so close to me and decided to go check it out. Boy, am I glad I did! Price at Discount Tire - $155; price at Ryan's Junkyard - $85, plus a $10 rebate for giving them the cracked wheel. It was a pretty cool experience, too. It is in the ghetto (8 Mile & Wyoming) but if you don't mind that its a definite gold mine. All the people are super friendly and helpful - and trilingual. They've got a whole yard plus a couple warehouses of scrapped cars and salvaged parts, so you can find pretty much anything you need at a good price. Now that I know where this is, and am familiar with how it works, I will definitely go here whenever I need anything in the future.

When no one else was offering to help with a battery and its replacement (from reasons that ranged from the obtuse of my "model / make car couldn't be done" to "we close in 30 minutes, so no" ... they answered the call for help and did the battery replace for me - just great service all around!

I returned the order and was told multiple times that my refund would be deposited into my account within 5-7 days. It has now been well beyond that timeframe, and I still have not received my refund. When I contact customer service, I get conflicting information--either that the refund is on the way or that I can only receive store credit. The communication has been poor and inconsistent. I was originally told I was eligible for a refund, but the issue remains unresolved. Very disappointing experience. Rating suggestion: 1 star if the refund still hasn't been received.

DO NOT BUY PARTS FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!…read more Last two orders: Full brake kit squealed like crazy, replaced them with Callahan and no issues. Detroit Axle said I needed to pay a "shop" to diagnose the parts before they will consider any replacement. I'm a master certified tech, have a degree as a High Performance Automotive Technician from the University of Northwestern Ohio, #1 school in the nation. 25 years experience, Mazda Master and ASE. Ordered Front wheel hubs for a BMW, wrong threads in the wheel side flange. Sent them back and they declined the return saying the parts were not in re-sale condition. Well yeah because they were installed then un-installed, they only sell one part for this car not multiple options and they do not list the undersized 12mm stud holes which should be 14mm. The knuckle side mounting dimensions were correct. Bad company, even worse customer service.

He tried to tell me I was past my 18 month warranty when in fact I still had 29 days left on it. Then he had to test the battery just to make sure it was dead. Dude, why would I bring the battery here if it still had juice in it? Then I tried to ask about any additional warranties for the new battery and his response to that was abrasive and rude. Never gave me eye contact and when I said Thank you and I hope you have a nice day the asshole didn't even say anything back. But the gentlemen in front of me he helped prior he was polite as hell too. FYI I am a African American man and these are Caucasians who treated me this way at this location.

They do not have scarred knuckles or dirty finger nails and they most certainly do not know the difference between a limited slip differential and a Knutson valve. These places are endlessly frustrating for customers who know what they're doing. Then there are the other kinds of auto parts stores. The rare business run by competent professionals who have seen everything, turned many a wrench in anger and know exactly how to fix the rotted kickdown mechanism on your beaten-up clunkbucket. This is Hastings. Walking in, the store is large and open with a the right mix of tools, fluids, consumables and floor stock to get easier jobs done, no barrage of frou-frou garbage to shine your car tires, no tweety-bird floor mats, no bullet-hole decals. As you walk to the prominent service counter you notice a comforting odor of WD40 and engine oil, think of it as a sign. These guys get straight to the point, provide insight and help on questions you have, often everything you need in stock by a quality brand and at competitive pricing. What sends this place over the top is in the back though. There you'll find one of the most competent and speedy machine shops you'll ever have need of. Swap out some bushings? Ten minutes. New wheel bearings pressed in? Overnight. The machine shop alone is reason enough to frequent Hastings.
