    Thumbs down All the time auto. A no-no!

    I have a '93 vr4 and since it had 181,xxx miles of abuse on her when I got her, I decided she needed a heart-transplant. A Jdm import one. So, as any other 18 year old would do, I hit the Internet hard. I searched several sights and even considered just buying everything new and building it myself, but that cost too much for me(a private college student). After a few days, I decided to place an order with all the time auto. They promised they had the motor in stock and I would have it within two weeks. A week and a half goes by, they call me to confirm I have crack sensors on my car. 2 and a half weeks pass, I call them and they said the "in stock" motor was in Canada and had just be received from Japan. A week passed and they said it was in "Canadian customs" and was on its way to me in Kentucky. 3 days pass they call me and told me "your motor was destroyed in shipping, we ordered another one". 4 days pass, they call me and ask me if my motor had a crank sensor. I told them yes. They then told me they couldn't get it, and never could, told me they ordered a motor though a different import motor company, that they would not tell me the name off, and that they were charging me a 300 dollar up charge and no longer offering me a warrantee. I told them no, and they said it was too late. 2 days later I receive a call telling me that they had to put a new oil pan the motor. A week and a half later I received the motor, after having to call ups and schedule the delivery with them, because they tried calling all the time auto and they wouldn't pick-up. I'm not sure why all time time auto was even having uPs call them to begin with. And when it was all said in done, the motor had a busted rear turbo, and a rough flywheel. Never deal with Bill Fourtune or All The Time auto. Horrible customer service.

    How did you pay for it cause if you used your CC there should be some kind of recourse thru them, even if its a debit card the issuing company should have you protected
