Default Eckler's Did Me Right!!

On Wednesday of this week I ordered floor mat protectors and Z06 polyurethane bushings from Eckler's to solve my creaky front end problem. Both items arrived by UPS before lunch today!! Thanks go to Eckler's.....that was prompt delivery!! Had planned to take my car to the Mercado Chevy/Corvette show tomorrow but hurricane Dennis is threatening with heavy rains so may get the bushings installed instead....standby for results!

Let's hope not
shows 40% to 50% chance of rain for Orlando. That is pretty normal for this time of the year.

Good to hear a positive report about Ecklers for a change!
I've ordered from them in the past and always had good experience.

I guess it helps with fast shipping if you live in the same state. Stay safe from the hurricane, lets hope it lessens before it hits land. Right now it looks like it is headed for Bama.

Keep us posted on the bushings If they work for you i will try them my self.

Yeah, I was a little skeptical after all of the negative reports here awhile back. I placed an order anyway and received everything I ordered (no B/O's) promptly. Very pleased with my first transaction with them.

Where exactly is this Mercado show? And what are the times?
Maybe cruise on down if not precipitating.

Never mind, I found it.

Personally I fail to see the fascination in regard to buying a few parts, and actually receiving them. That's how it's suppose to be!
Have things really gotten so bad over there that we need to give them a pat on the back for doing something right?

My story about Eckler.
I made a duplicate order to Eckler's, because I thought my first order didn't go through. The next morning I received a phone call from Eckler's asking was I sure I wanted a second order of the exact items. The person that fills the orders caught the mistake and Marie took time to call to make sure. To me that is excellent customer service.
