Absolutely terrible experience this evening with the North Edmonton Parts Source Location. Today in the after noon (Jan 3rd 2017) I called the North End Parts Source for a stock check and price check on a Alternator for a GMC Sierra and the employee on the phone informed me there was one in stock. A reman'ed 145amp alternator which would cost $160 and change, I was thrilled they had one in stock that was a reasonable price for a local store. So after work, I drove across town based on the quote I was provided on the phone so I could pick up the alternator tonight and get my truck fixed.... But upon getting to the store and talking with the Asian fellow I spoke to on the phone, he said he remembered talking with me, but the price now will be $229.99 for that same 145 amp re-man'ed alternator. He quoted me the fair price over the phone but now said it was $229.99 when I got there. They said there was nothing they could do for me and I drove across town for nothing. I also spoke with Tony the Assistant Manager as well and he did not give a care in the world for myself, this previously loyal Parts Source customer and was not even willing to correct the issue despite the employee's error. The worst part is that the employee could not even admit his mistake, I mean we are only human. I explained to him that everybody makes mistakes, but he said "No no no" pretending like he has never made a mistake once... Yeah.. Likely.. Everybody makes mistakes, but I am confident I know what I was told on the phone this evening, that quote is what made me drive to the store in the first place.
Terrible Store, Terrible Ethics, You think a corporation such as Part Source could make things right with a customer when one of their own employees makes a mistake, but in no way shape or form was I treated well by any of the staff members at this location. I was essentially called a liar and that I was making this up to save a few dollars.
I can spend my money elsewhere, there is no way I am going to pay that ridiculous price for a re-man alternator. Will never be stepping foot again in Parts Source unless the company or store will offer an attempt to remedy my very negative experience.
Try to stay away at all costs, if I could get a negative star rating I would, as this store does not deserve the 1 star that I had to select. read more
