Default Positive Ecklers Corvette Experience

Hi all - I am a newb here on the forums and wanted to share my experience with Ecklers...

After reading all the negative reviews on here, I was a little (ok, a lot) skeptical on ordering the parts I needed, but didnt have many option at the time. I called and spoke with a really nice sales guy who confirmed the parts were in stock and that they would ship out the same day. So I ordered them (yolks, seals and fluid kit) and asked if they would give me any kind of discount for a first time customer (I was hoping for like a 10% discount to help cut the shipping cost a little). Not only did he give me a discount on the order, but shipping was reduced as well! Parts arrived on time and as described.

I must say that I was fearing for the worst due to the negative reviews, but overall was impressed with their customer service. Perhaps things have changed.

I am in no way related or receive any kind of compensation from Ecklers for this so please dont go there. I am just an honest newb who wanted to share my positive experience.

Cheers!

Good to hear Ecklers is getting better, but why would you buy eggs from a Corvette parts vendor?

Good to see Ecklers is getting their stuff together. Used to be a great company, then not so much for a while.
