— *Title:* *Scammed Out of \$8,993 – Avoid This Company at All Costs*
*Review (Posted July 24, 2025):*
I was in urgent need of an engine for my 2008 6.4L Heavy Duty diesel truck when I unfortunately came across this company online. What followed was a complete nightmare.
They told me they could begin working with a 50% deposit, and that the engine would be shipped within 3 weeks. I paid \$4,497 on *June 13, 2024*. Shortly after, I had a serious accident and was bedridden for two months. Once I recovered, I contacted them to check on the order or possibly get a refund. They said no problem — just pay the remaining half and they'd ship the engine in 3 weeks.
I trusted them and paid the remaining \$4,497 on *December 10, 2024*. That was the last real communication I received. No engine. No refund. No updates. Just silence. They stopped answering calls, emails, and messages altogether.
Then I received a "warranty" email that looked like a joke — just random numbers and scribbles that seemed more like mockery than anything legitimate.
*Brittany* was my main point of contact. She gave me the original estimate, accepted my first payment, and sent the invoices. Later, *Ron Herrema* told me to speak with Brittany. Then Brittany referred me to *Cast Hazel*, who she claimed was the owner. He never responded.
When I asked to cancel the order, they tried to impose a *20% restocking fee* plus *\$498 in unexplained charges*. Even then, Brittany told me cancellation was not possible.
I run a *small family business*, and that truck is vital for our work. Now I’m left without the truck, engine, or money. I even had to borrow a vehicle from a relative, which I’ve since returned.
It’s unacceptable how *Brittany, Ron, and Cast* operate. This is a *clear scam*, and I want to warn others before they fall victim too.
*Total Loss:* \$8,993
*Preferred Resolution:* Full Refund —
