This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I’m disgusted with how Detroit Axle handled my return. I sent back a set of brake pads and rotors in brand-new, unused condition, and they had the audacity to claim the parts were “used” just to deny a full refund. To make matters worse, they then told me the returned parts had been thrown away. Seriously?

This is either blatant incompetence or a calculated scam to avoid issuing refunds. Either way, it’s unethical and completely unacceptable. No legitimate business treats customers this way—refusing refunds, destroying returned goods, and stonewalling any attempt at escalation.

Save yourself the headache and take your money elsewhere. I’ll never buy from Detroit Axle again, and I’ll be sharing this experience with every forum, review site, and auto community I’m part of.

Recommendation: To summarize the issues: Incorrect Parts Shipped: My original order included brake components that were incorrect upon arrival. This error was entirely on your company’s end, yet it created unnecessary delays and complications for me. Delayed Shipment: Beyond the initial error, there were delays in both processing and shipping—far beyond what was advertised at the time of purchase. Unacceptable Customer Service: I attempted multiple times to reach your customer service team. I was placed on hold for over 30 minutes on more than one occasion just to speak with someone, and in the end, received vague or unhelpful responses. This level of service is wholly unacceptable for any company, let alone one that positions itself as a reputable supplier. Lack of Communication and Transparency: I emailed twice to check on the status of my return. I received no response until I was finally able to get someone on the phone—weeks later—only to be told the parts were discarded and would not be refunded. This contradicts your stated return policy and removes any accountability from your team. Blatant Dishonesty and Lack of Accountability: Your team claims the returned parts were “used,” which is categorically false. The items were never installed or handled beyond unboxing. The suggestion that they were used and then discarded without a proper inspection or notice to me raises serious concerns about your internal process and transparency. In any reputable business, this would be considered not only a breach of trust but a possible violation of consumer protection laws.
