My letter to the BBB about my local Pick and Pull

[Bugeye]

sent off my complaint tonight, doubt anything will happen but I did what I felt needed to be done here it is

 

on 12-10-2008 I went to pick and pull in stockton ca to buy a truck cab for a project I am building. Their posted price for a cab without doors is 183.98. I had no problem paying that amount as it is what is posted. The cab I pulled happens to be a unibody design (meaning the inner fenders and core support are part of the cab) nowhere on their price board is this posted. after I had paid for my cab and was out of the gate they started yelling at me to come back in. They say they charged me wrong and the price of the cab does not include all of these parts. I tried telling them that it is part of the cab and they told me "not by our standards". I tried telling them this for 1/2 an hour until they decided they would let me have the other parts at 50% off. They didn't even give me that. they only knocked 20 off of the total. This is not the only time that they have made up prices right there at the window, on 12-4-08 they charged me 15 for a car horn when the posted price is 4.99.

aren't most cab including the inner fenders? I'

[Bugeye]

according to pick and pull no

[Llittle_Llama]

fuck them, thats bull shit. they have done the same to me in panama city florida. i spent 250 on interior there, then they tried to get me for all the switches on a 75 dollar dash! fuck those greedy bastards, they are just gunna crush it anyway!

[Bandit240]

They must be going by american truck standards where the inner fenders and all unbolt.

[]2eDeYe]

Yep, and there price lists are *subject to change* :rolleyes:

[Bugeye]

well, Im through with them, if I need to find parts for either truck I have a better chance at finding them on here and not have to worry about getting raped on a price

[bonvo]

had a similar experience at my local pick n pull i found a matchbox dizzy for my car the board says $20 for a dizzy i get up there and he tells me the total is $60+ and a core charge on top of that i couldnt beleve it i pointed it out to him distributor $20 he said "but this one has electronics in it so its $60" im all it doesnt say that anywhere then i went wait a minute core charge your a fucking junk yard its not like your gonna take my old one and rebuild it your just gonna crush it i might have to write a similar letter to the bbb about the pick n pull here

[SHADY280]

usually i take the part and throw it really hard on the ground in the office and walk away, then thye cant sell it either. if i cant have nobody can. they got some dumb girls at pick-a-part here and you can really pull the wool over their eyes easy. they dont know the diff between anything, just leave the cap on the dizzy, leave suspention assembled. and hide switches mechanics wired in odd spots so they cant see them. i hucked a spoiler for something out the door one day i was so mad, it bust a windsheild and broke in half. showed them. i left an engine block in their office me and a buddy carried in. all becasue of the same type of thing, not giving it too me as it was listed.

[djmoreron]

had a similar thing happen to me. i hate when people act like this. they have no business sense when they start ripping people off. i look at it like this, if you rip me off i will never come back and also tell a shitload of people not to go there. if i have a good experience, i will be a returning customer for years to come, spending all my hard earned money on stuff i dont even need... :sneaky:

[racerx]

Did you try talking to s manager?

[Bugeye]

both of them, it was one of the managers that stopped me on my way out

[bonvo]

you would think when they looked and say the inner fenders WELDED to the firewall they would go "ok its part of it"

[datzenmike]

Hand the dick a wrench and tell him if he unbolts them you'll take it.

[Bugeye]

they told me i could bring a sawsall in, but i kindly point to the sign where it says no body saws and told him "your full of shit"

[racerx]

Make a copy of their price list and send with letter..

Pick-n-pull in Fresno is pretty much the same. I like going to Pick-a-part instead.

 

Speaking of - "they got some dumb girls at pick-a-part here and you can really pull the wool over their eyes easy. "

 

I found some bumperettes once and I told the girl at the counter they were bumper guards. I paid $3.49 for each side! Sumthin like $7.89 total:lol:

Personally I never had a problem with either of the jy when I was in Fresno. Out here on the east coast though, they think that damn near everything you try to buy is made out of gold. I've never had to haggle so hard.

Once you got out the door and it was paid 4 u should have not stopped. I got lucky with airport auto wrecking here in Port Orchard and got in good with the guy in charge. Of course that is over now sincwe they moved to the domestic yard. Also having velvetpants working @ Poulsbo Pull-part was pretty cool 2.:D Except he was Datsun guy too and had first dibs on the good stuff:blink:

[Bandit240]

Wish me luck. Going to the LKQ up in Columbia with my dad to get a shortbed for his dodge truck project. Going to take my cam to get pics if there are any Datsuns.

The pull a part in atlanta is the same way with their prices on stuff and what is posted. I got some of the tie downs on the out side of the bed they told me a price and i said **** that and got some boat ones at walmart cheaper.

[Llittle_Llama]

the one i went to in montgomery AL. awas pretty cool, flirted with the girl behind the counter for about 10 minutes and got 15 aluminum contour valve covers (they bolt on to the focus and replace the plastic ones) for the price of steel, lol. like 7 dollars a pop instead of 20!!!!!

[thisismatt]

Guess I should be glad all my yards are locally owned, not part of chains. I went to an Ecology in Long Beach...that blew.

[Llittle_Llama]

i cannot wait to go to dallas this next monday, imma rock out with my cock out!!!! got 6 JY's preloaded in the garmin :D

[az_rat210]

I always get a price qoute prior to even bothering to pull a part. Also, if a Bone Yard charges you a price different from that which is advertised, its called False Advertising and its a crime.

 

Take a photo of the published price, and your receipt...go see the district attorney; or threaten the Bone Yard with that. It could very well cost them their business license.
