I know many of you have already posted bad stories about Jims auto parts. Well here is another.
I had a horrible experience with Jims Auto parts.
The order take had the nerve to hang up on me Twice   :flame:  when I asked her to confirm a shipping date for a power steering pump.
Buyers beware

If I were you I'd call my Credit card company and cancel/block that order. Jim's shipping charges make year one's look minuscule.

Did you get to talk to "THE HAG" ? Is she the one that hung up on you twice?  :lol: :lol:   There is usually a couple of bad posts about Jims every week on Moparts.  Come to think of it.....I`ve never heard anything good about the place.

She's just as pleasant in person.

These guys act like they're doing you a favor.

I've been there once. Needed something right away and they were the only "right now" source.

Never again.

I have never heard anything but bad about that company also. I do not order anything from them.

In all the years I have been into mopars, I have never heard one single good thing about them.  I'm not into spreading internet gossip and bashing a vendor that I have had no dealings with, but you get a little cautious when people actually go out of thier way to point how bad this place is....makes you think.

He didn't apprentice under someone else of notoriously bad service in the Mopar hobby did he?

I ordered 4 different parts from them.  The rear frame crossmember is excellent.  it is a nearly exact match.  The extensions for this piece were great also.  However, the inner fender was the biggest waste of metal I have seen.  I am in the process of returning it now.  They are going to pull a piece and see if theirs looks as bad as mine.  I am not sure what difference this makes, but I guess I will find out when I call her back in 2 hours.

they are run by nut bags.  I had a hell of a time getting the Items I paid for and when I got my dash pad he added 10 bucks to the price he had listed on the website.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,

Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
      acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

TeeWJay426

I see this thread started in February....... over on moparts, one of these pops up on a monthly basis. I don't know how they have managed to stay in business this long either. Shoulda gone bankrupt from people avoiding them and taking their business elsewhere years ago!

I'll never use them again. I phoned for a shipping quote on a set of weather strips and was told they couldn't tell me. Decided to order anyway and was charged more for shipping than the strips cost.

Yup, that sounds familiar.

TK, you'd be amazed at how many people up here still don't have internet service, and if the do, don't belong to forums like this that can help you avoid these people. This is chebbie country up here. Mopar's are few and far between and places that sell parts for Mopar's can demand top dollar and usually get it.

I know I have read posts for years about bad dealings with Jim's. I have taken the warnings and never bought. There are too many repro places out there anymore for us to rely on 1 or 2 businesses.

For the very same reason that people are paying 30K+ for 383 powered 69 Road Runners or 340 Dusters.

if its so bad why people are still ordering from them? We should make thread specifically stating where to/not to buy our parts from.

Ya,  I got ripped off on shipping too!  $9.90 for a fuel tank pad!  I ordered it online, and didn't realize they didn't post shipping charges when I placed my order.  Quite the surprise when I received it.  Oh well, live and learn.

Old Moparz

They're still in business because because of several reasons.

He has an inventory of needed parts.

He advertises in several auto publications.

There's a new sucke..... uh, customer everytime someone finds some POS on ebay dragged out of a swamp.

Bad business practices discussed on the internet message boards only reach a small portion of potential buyers. I know i mentioned somewhere once before on another thread, that it's sometimes completely overlooked, the small amount of Mopar owners on line. I see it with my friends & local Mopar guys all the time. Out of 20 or so local owners & personal friends with Mopars, maybe half are on line at all. Of that half, I know there are only about 5 of us that are on any kind of message board. I'd say 25% is a very small percentage in my opinion.
