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.

I purchased this rear diffuser expecting a quality product, but after a few months of normal use, the section above the exhaust tip warped significantly. There was no external damage to my vehicle, no exposure to extreme conditions-just a clear material defect. When I contacted ECS Tuning, they insensitively tried to blame the issue on the Southern California wildfires without even knowing where I live in relation to them. Fires are life-threatening disasters that have destroyed homes and communities, yet ECS attempted to use them as a scapegoat to avoid standing behind their product. Once I proved that wasn't the case, they still refused to replace the diffuser under warranty and instead only offered a discounted replacement. If they truly believed the damage was my fault, they wouldn't have offered a discount at all. Not only is this terrible customer service, but it's also incredibly tone-deaf and exploitative to blame a natural disaster just to avoid responsibility. A company that stands behind its products should take ownership of defects-not make excuses. l wouldn't recommend this diffuser or ECS Tuning's customer service.

You well expect to be on the phone waiting for somebody to answers for about a hour to 30 minutes you can have just a question and shit takes forever. They won't let you know if a item is not in stock you have to call and see why your order is taking so long the least they can do. read more

Beware of this place. Ever since pandemic order are constantly delayed and has nothing to do with shipping issues overseas. When I first found notice this website I was very impressed by the fact they can get dealer parts and some cheaper the cost at my local dealer. I spent over in total maybe 10k more or less.. My experience with overseas parts purchases from ECS Tuning #: Order #: 861-731-718 May 23, 2021 and 755-528-292 date June 27, 2021 2012-2013 Golf R Vw European headlights and front bumper ETA was 3 months out as expected (pandemic) total i got delayed 3 times so I customer to find out what's going on? Delayed? They told me it's rare part so vw of Europe is has to make the headlights and bumper...? Bro, I wasn't born yesterday...so finally I found out the real reason it kept getting delayed. Salesman (I won't mention his name) when ECS Has to received a certain amount of order to fulfill the trailer and everything is shipped by boat which cost effective for them. ETA of 3-6 months makes sense ,but when they can't fulfill that number they delayed your order get delayed and that process repeats itself every 3 months. I immediately canceled that order because, but for some reason I chose to not cancel European Golf r headlights. When I got the headlights (damaged xenon connector) returned it back to ECS expecting a new headlights, but I got back a month later and it looked like it was open and repaired either by ECS tuning or VW Europe (it has some debris inside lens) I called them out and the only they said do I want to return it?? Not even want to work things out. Red flag 1 as far as the bumper issue after I canceling that same day I shop around the internet and found it on ShopDap.com (in stock) My first and last experience with ECS tuning. Order #: 047-339-580 Supersprint rear muffler and non resonated center pipe. It was delayed 3 times so I finally canceled it, but after finding no luck on the internet I decided to re- order (just rear muffler section) from ECS and to my surprise it only took a month. I purchased the non resonated center pipe straight from Supersprint website.. Here's where I lost trust in both companies. Mind you I'm a dealer technician myself. I open the box and found muffler is dented, but it's just cosmetic so I don't mind after all I waited too long for this just to return it. I mocked it up it was crooked with no room to adjust it. Immediately called ECS and let them no issue. At this point I want a return it, but since installed it can't be returned which makes no sense how to find out it something fits it you don't install It. It was never driven on. After couple days past I receive email from Patrick Kelly ECS Manager part I ordered 889336 only fit 2006-2009 vw GTi with R32 bumper. I knew he was wrong because before I decided to order I looked on supersprint website (2010-2014 VW GTI with golf r bumper. I figure I'm getting no where with them so I contact Supersprint and explain this issue.. after sending photos of proof (Raffaele owner of Supersprint) approves the return for exchange. Patrick re-orders new part ,but a month later I check website and it's delayed (story of this place) Patrick emails and told I need to remove and ship before I get a new part. This is called Raffaele directly and told him if he can just compensate a part for me and we'll call it settled. He said no. The next day Patrick calls me and told me he'll be banning me from future purchases on ECS.. Today, I send Raffaele if he price match the 765213 the ECS website since I'll never do business with them again. Here's the screen 7/6/2023 Raffaele, since ecs has let banned me from purchasing per (Patrick Kelly )with them in future except for 1 last purchase of the supersprint 765213, (being final sale) I don't think it's fair so I would rather buy straight from supersprint. Ecs offer price is $235 including tax and free shipping.. Can you match their price. Pls let me know. Rafflaele , sorry but I cannot give discount on € 320 (price list) Me What not? It's was your defective fitment part that put me in this situation in the beginning... I see now how much you stand behind your product? Do you have a Yelp? I want to tell everyone how suspersprint so called takes care of their customers Pictures of the cosmetic and fitment defect of supersprint rear muffler part # 889336 Proof the 889336 compatible vehicles MK5 and MK6 With and R32/Golf r rear bumpers read more

**A Wholesale Customer's Nightmare with ECS Tuning: My Experience** As a long-term wholesale customer, my recent experience with ECS Tuning was not only disappointing but downright infuriating. After years of doing business with them, I was faced with a situation that completely shattered my trust in this company, and it ended with them banning my account rather than offering any meaningful help. My issue started when I received a product that didn't fit properly--a product that ECS Tuning had provided. Mistakes happen, I get that, and as a business owner myself, I know the importance of clear communication and customer service to resolve issues. Unfortunately, ECS Tuning's handling of the situation was anything but professional. After discovering the issue, I contacted ECS Tuning expecting a quick and reasonable resolution. What followed was hours and hours of frustrating back-and-forth communication, not just with ECS Tuning but also with the vendor involved. I spent countless hours on the phone, repeating the same information, only to be sent in circles between ECS and the vendor, neither of whom seemed willing to take responsibility or offer a solution, sticking me with a 1000 dollar set of adjustable springs. Instead of stepping up to help resolve the issue, ECS Tuning's customer service was dismissive, unhelpful, and showed no regard for the fact that I had been a loyal, long-term customer. Despite the fact that the mistake was on their end, ECS Tuning refused to assist me in any meaningful way. Every time I called, I was either met with vague promises that someone would get back to me or pushed off onto another representative who seemed equally uninterested in resolving the issue. The absolute worst part of this experience came when, after spending an absurd amount of time trying to get help, ECS Tuning decided to **ban my account** instead of offering any form of resolution. That's right--rather than admit their mistake or work towards a solution, they simply cut ties with me altogether. As a wholesale customer who had invested significant time and money into this business relationship, this was an insult. So, not only did ECS Tuning fail to provide me with the correct product, they also refused to help when things went wrong. Their customer service was horrendous, and their final solution was to ban me from their platform entirely. This is not how you treat any customer, let alone a long-term one. ECS Tuning's approach to resolving issues is, in my opinion, appalling. Instead of taking accountability, they deflect blame and, in my case, ban the customer rather than work towards a solution. I can no longer do business with them, and honestly, after this experience, I wouldn't want to. If you're considering using ECS Tuning for your automotive needs, especially as a wholesale customer, be prepared for the possibility that, when things go wrong, they may leave you high and dry. I strongly advise anyone to **think twice** before doing business with ECS Tuning. Their lack of professionalism and refusal to take responsibility has cost them a long-term customer, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had this kind of experience. Buyer beware. read more

Not a great experience with this company ever since they got acquired by turner. Ordered a metal oil pan replacement+oil change kit for my car that's been stuck at the shop after a bad run-in with road debris. Order off ECS after they would quote the cheapest for the parts and fastest delivery (to my detriment...) They choose to ship with fedex and fedex lost the package, no one's fault aside from Fedex. After no shipping updates in 1 week, they shipped me a replacement with 2 day delivery. Not best but I'll take it. After being received at my auto shop, they were missing 5 liters of oil out of the OIL REPLACEMENT KIT. Ended up having to go with my autoshop's replacement oil which is not cheap. The customer service agent basically laughed and said "That sucks. What else can I help you with?" To make matters worse, after 2 weeks of no shipment updates, they refused to give me a refund and told me to wait for fedex. Not the best customer service and probably one of the worse places to buy parts from if you ever run into issues. read more

I placed an order on July 8th for a rear differential for my BMW. I called on the 22nd to check on the order as Fedex said label created on the 15th and still wasn't shipped , he said I was shipped and it should be here by the 29th to call if it hasn't arrived by then. So I called this am and he transferred me to customer support and they hung up on me. I called back and waited on hold for 20 minutes and they hung up on me again. This was not a cheap part $3337. Very angry. Run from this palace as fast as you can.. read more

I ordered a strut brace for my car which showed on their website that it fit on my car and understood about the part being specially ordered - as it fit my car, I didn't have an issue. The part came in and the brace doesn't fit. The brace rest right on to of the ECU and can't be installed. Even if it did fit on that placement, the hood can't close either. I tried to contact them by phone but no one picks up the phone when it comes to returns. Now I have a brace in a box that i can't use. read more

DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE IN ANY WAY... THEY LIED AND HERE I AM IN THE HOLE FOR $1000 for the same crappy product!!! read more

The slowest shipping process ever. Ordered on 6/21 and expected delivery is 7/8. Called customer service as was told it would be here on 7/5. Website now shows 7/10. Unbelievable! If you need a quick part, stay far away from ECS Tuning. Side note, their LiveChat does not work either. Hopefully ECS Tuning will review their shipping standards and update. I will not be back. read more

Love their website and selection. Customer service is horrific. Ordered parts and supplies to do an oil change a month and a half ago. FedEx damaged the item in shipping and couldn't deliver it. Took a little while to discover this. Contact ECS asking them to ship me new items. Several days later I received an email asking for the order#, which they obviously should have already had since it was a required field in my original CS request. I responded saying as such and requested them to send my items with expedited shipping at no additional cost to me. 6 days later I have received no response. Now I just want my money back so I can go use UroTuning like my kid told me I should. Sorry ECS, I'm done defending you and saying my experience with you has always been good, because now it hasn't and you don't seem to care. Gregory sucks. read more

I decided to change the oil and brakes in my 2018 C63 amg s and so I called, gave them my vin and ordered oil filter, oil, drain plug, front and back brakes. After taking the back brakes off I realized they had sent the wrong size brake pads. I wasnt very happy but oh well, I kept going. Changed front brake pads and when I took off the sensor on the right side, the sensor that came with the brakes was the wrong one.... Starting to get a little mad. Third thing, take off the cover so I can drain the oil and see that they sent me the wrong screw for the drain port. Three different issues with one order. Never trusting these guys again. Ohh and the best part... called to return the parts and when you follow the instructions on the phone, it wont let you speak to someone so I tried to do it online and it prompts you to pay for the shipping level in order to return... hahaha Yeah. Needless to say, NEVER AGAIN! read more

I canceled my order for never shipping an item that was shown in stock on ECSs web site, calling or getting through to a real person took me like 5 tries when I do get through they ship my oder the next day after it was canceled and after I had been waiting for over 2 weeks. So I refused this order when FedEx tries to deliver since I already ordered locally. Now this order is stuck in a loop with Fedex and ECS will not refund me even though I never took possession of this order. They say they need to get the order back before they refund even though I personally never took possession of this order. This order was originally placed May 02, 2024. and they still have my $831.94 they have not refunded. Seriously the worst customer service. read more

Wow I should have read the comments before ordering from ECS Tuning... On 3/9/23 I ordered a sway bar which was listed as in stock and with a shipment date by 3/15/23. Great. 3/15/23 comes and goes without any word from ECS on my order status. Its pretty terrible when a customer has to reach out to you to figure out why their order is delayed. So I initiate a chat on their website and they indicate the part is actually backordered and there is no ETA for when its coming back in stock. After I pointed out that the part was listed in stock when I ordered, the genius working the chat lets me know that they updated the website *after my order was placed* to indicate its backordered. How does that help me? Anyways, he offers to refund me and I accept. A few minutes later and a large essay from him basically tells me they won't refund me until they get a refund from their supplier (they don't actually have any parts in stock it seems, everything is drop shipped). I said that's ridiculous and none of my concern- again pointing out that it was their inventory error which led to this mix up. No dice. I have initiated a chargeback and they will never see a cent of mine ever again. Pathetic. read more

Buyer beware! I purchased three mids and three tweeters from ECS an wad charged $80 shipping to Houston. Contacted customer service be told oh you picked expedited shipping that's why you were charged $80. Then I sent them this picture showing standard shipping this is there response. So anything but economy, which is the free shipping, if it qualifies is considered expedited, so that is the correct amount. Never using them again. And I didn't select rush shipping I have the screenshot showing standard shipping $80. Check the reviews online for this company before you buy! read more

Let's start with this, I wish I could write a zero star review and If you receive "Matt H" as your customer service representative you will not receive the help or assistance you are looking for. Just read the other reviews. My issue: I ordered oil and a filter on December 10th and noticed immediately after I ordered(1-2min) that Paypal inserted my old shipping address when checking out. So I attempt to reach out to ECS Tuning's Chat feature. This started with a "you have been added to the cue" after 10mins of waiting I receive a chat unavailable message and I am prompted to fill out a form for my issue. The form specifically asked what I am reaching out for and I selected "Modify/change shipping address" and sent the message. This stated that someone would reach back out to me to resolve my issue. The next day I attempted to call ECS 3 times around 2-5pm EST. Every call ends with me waiting 20 min without any idea of how long I will need to wait. I receive a message that my order is shipped on the next day and attempt to call again only to have the same occurrence as the first time. 20-30min wait without an idea of how long I will need to wait. I attempt the chatbot again and get the same message "you have been added to the que" with out making contact with some duration of waiting. The order is then delivered the next day to my old address and I still have not received a reply from ECS. On this same evening I write an email explaining the situation in detail. Fast forward to 6 days later I receive a response from Matt in customer service with this exact message: "Hello, Thank you for contacting ECS Tuning. Unfortunately once shipped there is nothing we can do on economy shipments as these packages are not handled by FedEx ground. The only way we are able to adjust economy shipments is before they are shipped." ....4 days after the order arrives at the incorrect address. After I explain the situation again, I receive this in reply: "We only have 8 customer service reps here as we are a relatively small company with about 250 employees total. If you would like to return the order, please visit the following link..." I can't return an Item that I don't have. I then proceed to explain the situation again and this is the reply I receive: "If you want a refund on the parts you would have to return them. We would not provide a refund if an incorrect address was added to an order." This is a comical response especially since I detailed the situation multiple times. Also, my family and I have ordered many times in the past without issue so I don't know if we just got lucky before or what but now we will never order from them again. I am glad I was at least able to share this review to at least protect others from horrible treatment. read more

After posting the review, they eventually refund me the ~$7, so I updated my review to 3 stars. If they were honest in the first place - they would have got 5 stars, I knocked off 2 stars just because I had to "fight" to get it and the customer service was poor. read more

Customer service needs to be improved because there's a lack of it! I emailed ECS tuning several times about ordering a spare key for wheel locks and I still haven't received a reply!

I ordered a bunch of parts for my Mini S R60. My mechanic is patiently waiting on them so he can get my car back on the road. Well they accidentally sent an extra bottle of antifreeze to me and asked for it back. I couldn't get to sending it back due to not having a ride all the time because again my car is in the shop. These guys are now holding all my order's until they get a bottle of antifreeze back! You have to kidding me. I was a faithful customer to ECS but now I am done with them. Now I have to wait another 2 to 3 weeks until I can get my car back due to to them holding all my orders hostage until they get back a freaking bottle of antifreeze! read more

I purchased a set of ECS brand rotors. Upon installation one was defective. ECS initially refused to warranty repair the item but ultimately agreed to do so after a chargeback was opened. ECS asked me to close the dispute with the marchant now that they were honoring their warranty; so I called the merchant and canceled the chargeback. After doing so, ECS did a return to sender on the warranty replacement that they had mailed to me. read more
Decided to give these guys a try based on their parts selection, which is wider than most places other than the dealership. I'd used them in the past before to buy stuff that I couldn't get elsewhere. Wasn't expecting this most recent purchase (bunch of various parts and tools) to go sideways. Read on. Rumour has it on the internets that a VC firm bought this place out around 2018, and that things have gone downhill since. I won't discuss the specifics here (plenty of complaints online, just do a quick search), but will discuss my experience as a paying customer. I heard that the same VC also bought out Pelican Parts. Normally I would dismiss what I read online, but I am going to mention it here because my experience was just like what people online were complaining about. The website lists the inventory status for each item I added to my cart. For example, it may say either "In stock", or something like "Ships in 5 days". Not the most ideal answer, but at least the site gives an expected ship date, right? Too bad the statuses are wildly inaccurate. I place my order, and wait the stated days. I check the status and see that the expected ship date got pushed back. Okay, let's give them another few days, with this whole coronavirus mess. A few days later, I check again, and the date was pushed back AGAIN. Uh what? At this point I decide to call in. The guy I talked to assured me that things were under control and that my package would ship in the next day or so. He even upgrades my shipping and tells me it'll ship in a day or two. Definitely a nice gesture. Too bad that when I checked 2 days later, the shipment was delayed again. After another 1-2 weeks of these shenanigans, I called in again to see what was holding up the package. Turns out one of the items was still out of stock. If this is the case, why does the site say it's in stock!? I can't wait much longer, so I cancel this item (which should eliminate the stoppage) and order it from a competing site instead. A few days later, I receive that item (from the competitor) at my doorstep. So I check my ECS order again. Still not shipped!? Time to call them again. This time they told me another (ie 2nd) item was out of stock. Um, a) the site says it's in stock, and b) I was assured during the previous call that EVERYTHING ELSE was in stock and that there would be no more delays once that previous item was removed. Okay this is getting ridiculous. I drop the 2nd item out of the order, and order it from the dealership instead. The dealership has to place a special order for this from Europe, so they tell me it'll take a while. Interestingly enough, a few days later the dealership calls. Parts have arrived. I pick that up, go home, then check my ECS order. Site shows that everything's in stock, but yet the package is still caught in processing hell. The supposed "live" order status during these few weeks was flip flopping between "Picked" (ie waiting for shipping label), "Warehouse transfer", and "Back order", sometimes in that order. How does something that's supposedly packed and waiting for a shipping label suddenly go out of stock a few days later? I guess the good news was that customer service was very friendly and professional (not faulting them, they're just doing their jobs while getting dumped on by angry customers) and eventually the package did ship, and I did receive it a few days later (hence the 2 stars instead of 1) after the site said it shipped. However, unlike the competition and the dealership (both of which took 2-5 business days for the parts to arrive), my package took 32 DAYS to arrive after placing the order. Good thing my car wasn't already disassembled on a hoist or I would've been screwed for a few weeks. So much for their 100% satisfaction guarantee. These guys just lost themselves a customer. I recommend FCP Euro, RM European, and (I can't believe I'm saying this) the car dealership for parts instead. The competitors might cost a bit more, but I'll gladly pay the extra money knowing that the parts will actually arrive ON TIME and that I don't have to spend (or should I say WASTE) several hours checking the order status or dealing with customer service. read more

I have placed thousands of dollars worth of orders from ecs and will not order from them any more. They have sent me several wrong parts and then make it a hassle to return because their fitment guides are terrible and wrong 25% or more of the time. The customer service is terrible and takes a long time to get answers to questions. Finally, sales manager Matt has horrible customer service skills and was rude, while insulting me on the phone when I called about a mistake in my order. This one was a $2k plus order and had been placed online, instead of owning the mistake in the listing and sale, Matt decided to insult me and be rude on the phone. Was planning on ordering a turbo kit and fuel system upgrades, but will be shopping at other places to get what I need. Avoid this place. read more

I clearly explained I wanted my vehicle to be quiet when I ordered a new exhaust system. It is LOUD inside and out. They charged for a new part, I paid the exhaust shop an 2nd time to install, and it made no noticeable difference. I called ECS again and they sent me the same part. I asked the exhaust shop if there was anything they could do. The shop said they would install some piping that I assume are resonators for a 3rd charge, this one was $420 and that would likely greatly decrease the noise and droning inside the vehicle and outside both. Still a very loud noise and you feel it in your body inside the passenger compartment! ECS has since stopped communication. read more

Never order anything from ECS. Items "in stock" are never really in stock. They will send you the wrong items just to fulfill the order regardless. The ship expected times are completely false.

Know your part or lose money on return Sent my version to someone I was in contact with to ensure it was the right one, was told it was. Got discs and case was cracked(no damge to discs) put in to update and not go. Said version error. Took to dealer to help(it says may need to be connected to dealer stuff) dealer said wrong version not for my mmi. So contacted ecs they told me "*This update may require connection to the Audi server, possible through an Audi authorized dealership scan tool. Additional fees may apply, please contact your local dealership for more information.*" Which I had done. Then wanted to get refund since I was told wrong item. They oked the refund, however I had to pay for return shipping and just got informed they also didnt refund the full purchase price, Im guessing a "restocking fee" for something I was sold wrong. I have all the communications from the sale and guess ill have to eat the loss. Was going to purchase a couple parts for the engine of my Audi but not confident they told me the correct parts and dont want to have to lose more money if they are not right. Im sure they have been good for some but just not for me. Sad as I was excited to get some upgrades for both my cars. My dealer charged more but it is done right. I was hoping to avoid the dealer altogether but ended up there even after I purchased their product. The service was good just wrong information and loss of money due to their wrong info I felt was wrong. But if thats their business practice so be it. I just wont do business with them and will show my file of mishap and loss to all in our car club to stop using them if they do. Be cautious when ordering if you do not know for sure what part it is so you dont lose money if you have to return them. read more

I have been a customer for awhile now, purchased thousands of dollars of car parts without issue. Something has changed and for the worst, nothing but a amatuer shop now. Just terrible and I don't know where they went south and why they went so bad so fast but I would not recommend purchasing a zip tie from ECS, let alone something important for your vehicle. I made a purchase back in February of 2022, the product was "in stock" only to find out a week later it was never "in stock" so my original delivery date was pushed about 2 weeks. 2 weeks came and went and I got a "supply chain" woe is me email pushing it another 2 weeks. A month comes and goes and I get the same "supply chain" woe is me email pushing it back another two weeks. Do this another few times and its May 20th 2022, and I just received an email saying I need to pay them more because our original agreement is too old... God forbid ECS have customer service reps that know how to communicate shipping issues or are able to rectify issues caused by their own disorganization. I do think it should be mentioned that they did provide me with ba set of "options"... each of which I would have to pay more for the product than the original price tag I agreed to purchase. Zero tact, zero customer service skill, and zero effort to work with the customer to find a workable solution for all parties. ECS only cares about ECS one-time sales. Just garbage. Avoid this place like the plague. Just terrible. Be better ECS, but not for me, I am never coming back, be better for the next poor sap you screw. read more

1. When you place an order and pay $500 for 2 days shipping you don't have to contact the vendor after 3 days and hear that the product will take another 2 weeks to arrive. I don't need to hear that is a drop shipping and that's not in stock, if it's not in stock you should've write it next to the product or at least contact the buyer who just paid $2500 for a clutch, and is definitely in a rush if he pays $500 for shipping. 2. Don't have a chat option when every person whom I chatted with tell me that I need to talk to someone in costumer service l, then again and again, so transferring me between people and wasting my time is unprofessional. 3. Same with the phone system, oh, you need to talk to costumer service, let me transfer you, call dropped. More than once. And if after all of that, when I already paid the mechanic to pull the transmission and I'm frustrated with the lack of professionalism I ask to cancel, I shouldn't get an answer of: let us check with our vendor and we'll let you know. I ordered fron you! I don't care about the third party involved. Now I have to pay for removing and reinstalling the transmission and also wait for the order to be canceled and maybe just maybe I'll get a refund in time to buy the part from someone else. read more

Only ECS would cancel an order because they incorrectly priced they're products. Most companies would honor pricing to they're loyal customers, but not ECS. They wouldn't even offer at the very least to sell at their cost from the manufacturer. I cannot think of another company that would do this. I find it extremely unreasonable that while on the phone with their team, they will give the the numbers of what their cost is on each product and then let you know they are willing to sell you the products at $500 above they're cost on each product, even though they have made the mistake in falsely advertising/listing each product incorrectly. read more

I recently purchased from ECS tuning and reached out through their live chat to order some ignition coils for my car. The sales rep added items to my cart and assured me they would fit. I chose two day shipping (which arrived 4 days later) because i was in a hurry to replace my spark plugs and wanted to do them both at the same time. Turns out they are the wrong model. So now I'm without a car until i receive the replacement coils. I chose their standard shipping, since it makes no difference to pay for faster shipping. Now I've got to rent a car to make it through the next week until i receive my shipment. It's doubtful I'll be shopping here again. read more

Beware when dealing with this company. I ordered a Remus exhaust on August 1st with a ship date of Sept 1st. Didn't ship then or on any of the next two ship dates. Nov 15th passed with no new ETA so I started emailing both sales and customerservice email addresses for a status. Multiple emails over two weeks and no response. Requested that the order be canceled multiple times over the following week with no response. Got on chat and went through two people who couldn't help me until I hooked up with Carolyn who told me I needed to return a small piece of tubing that initially sent me in August and she gave me a shipping label. I returned the part that same day. Traded two emails with Nate Daniel on the next day who told me he had to get a email from the vendor saying that hadn't shipped the item yet. One week later (today) I got a notice saying my order had been shipped. I immediately contacted them to complain... you guessed it... no response. This company has done everything the could to block me from canceling my order (that I've been waiting on for 4.5 months!). They ignore my communications, delay things on purpose and generally treated me like nothing more than a pile of cash they are trying to keep. One of the most terrible companies I've ever done business with and I couldn't warn you enough to stay away. Far away. read more

This is clearly a company that does not understand customer service. I ordered parts from them online and they promised me shipping within two business days. They got a little snow so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Two packages were shipped one I received seven days later, and the other one shows shipped, but never scanned by UPS. So UPS says they never picked it up in ECS says they shipped it. I've been going back-and-forth with UPS and ECS on the phone and filed an investigation with UPS. They never once replied to any of my customer service emails which my credit card company needs to solidify a case. On several occasions the customer service representative has cut me off. I'm told after two weeks to put in an investigation on the package, but I'm just wait. So that means it could take at least a month to get the parts that I ordered when I was promised I will get it in a few days. The most frustrating part about this is the service representatives at this company, it's a simple shipping business they seem to not be able to get a handle on. Sorry if your car is in need of a part I do not recommend unless you have a lot of time to wait. There are a lot of other parts companies out there, that are a lot nicer, and easier to work with. When spending close to $1000 on parts you would think you would get a little bit of courtesy, a call, and maybe at least a email reply. Just a warning, if they're not leaving a paper trail it's very suspicious. read more

Parts are cheaper and the same quality at auto zone. Shipping isn't too slow but customer service is pretty good.

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
