Engine & Transmission World

We have recently ordered an engine from Engine and Transmission World and the engine they sent us is not what was advertised. We believe we have been ripped off and really do not know what to do. The company says that they " provide every one of their customers with a valid Carfax to verify the mileage of the vehicle, as well as the year make and model the part was pulled from. " So we figured hey this is a standup company lets try them and see how it goes. Well we are trying to get them to honor their company policy but to no avail. We had purchased an engine which listed " 43, 445 miles on it for $1, 495.00 (Includes Free Shipping)" They charged us an additional $75.00 for shipping to a residential address which is no where stated until you are already at the final payment page to place your order. Even their ads say free shipping in all 48 states. The Carfax in no way verifies or even comes close to the engine we thought we ordered and when we contacted we were told that this is normal and everything is fine. Fine ? The engine we recieved had been extremely abused and neglected. It had to be totally taken apart and inspected and cleaned. Actually looks like it has well over 100, 000 miles or more on it. It was possibly seized due to cylinder wall scoring and burnt oil smell as well as the completely gunked up internals. There was water in the cylinders (no spark plugs at all, nothing to keep moisture out of the heads, the oil pan was crushed and someone had hammered it out so it has a crack in it and it looks really bad. One of the valve covers is also damaged and much more. It is nothing like what their website boasts about as far as quality and all the other false wording they use. If I try to ask for a refund they want us to pay for return shipping costs and that is not right. So we have a lump of metal sitting here and would like to know what to do to get the engine we paid for. Much time has been wasted already just in inspecting and trying to prep this "mistake" with no happy ending in sight. Their adevertising is misleading and false. There is no way we can have this engine installed and be sure it will last for any length of time. We may try to get an exchange once the mechanic decides what we may or may not do.( as far as doing the installation and maybe having to do it again before the 180 day warranty expires). We tried to take pictures with a cell phone but they do not come close to what we see and smell (burnt oil) ourselves. Our advice to anyone considering making a purchase from these people : get the Carfax first before you pay for anything. Insist on it or walk away. We believed them and trusted them. They decieved us and have lost good customers and much more.

engine and transmission world is FRAUD and here is my story..

I ordered a 2002 GMC Duramax engine and transmission from www.engineandtransmissionworld engine spost to have 45, 000 miles and transmission spost to have 39, 000 miles after waiting 19 days I received a transmission from a company called LKQ out of california but the pallet had been broke and the transmission fell off the pallet on to its top and broke 4 sensors and bent 2 brackets. First thought was well I have the parts off my other transmission to put on this so no big deal! Well I decided to refuse the order and get one with all the parts in good shape! So the shipping company asked if he could leave the transmission at my location due to it was his first delievery, I said ya of course not big deal and he said also would you mind sitting it on a new pallet and tieing it down I said ya no big deal.. So I did so and in the middle of doing this I decided to pull the tourqe converter off and just look at the condition of the oil and I found brown burnt oil looked like it had 300, 000 miles on it and it was spost to have only 39, 000 miles so that worried me and got me to thinking so I got it all tied down and loaded up later that day when he came back by... Then decided to call up engineandtransmissionworld and tell them that I was going to need another transmission due to this one had been damaged and the guy laughed at me and said thats between you and the shipping company and I thought ya your right but then said actually its not due to the fact that I rejected it that makes it your problem! He said we will send you another transmission right away and we hung up.. I later called back and asked why I have not received a carfax on either item? Engineandtransmissionworld said you will get a carfax with your item! I said well thats not going to be good enough I want to either cancel my order or you provide a carfax now.. We went back and forth for quite awhile and finally he said the carfax's will be emailed to you and hung up on me! So I waited around for a carfax and did recieve a carfax on two different VIN numbers.. both duramax pickups with the maching parts that I needed one 2 wheeldrive and one 4 wheel drive. Due to the fact that I ordered a 4wheeldrive transmission and a engine I knew that the engine had to be coming out of the 2 wheel drive pickup.. So I decided to run my own carfax on that same VIN number and I got one and it matched almost perfect other than on the one they sent me it said vehicle purchased by engineandtransmissionworld well guess what on the one I ran it didnt say that and Carfax does not give out names like that anyway! So off the carfax that I ran had a city where this vehicle had been taken apart. So I started calling salvage yards until I found the one that had that VIN in there system and asked them who they sold that engine to and if they happend to have that serial number off that engine.. The guy looked up in his files and said I do not have the actual serial number because all we go by is VIN but I did sell that engine to a place called low mileage engines in memphis, tn.. So I got there phone number and asked them if they happend to have the serial number off that engine and who they sold it to. The lady started digging a little and said um Sir I have that engine in stock for sale and have never sold it to anyone.. So I presented this proof to engineandtransmissionworld and told them I want my money back in full right now or im calling the cops well the guy there named DALE extension 102 told me basically ha good luck.. I said sounds good see ya then about 5 mins later he calls me being all nice and said your money will be refunded in full you will see it in your account in about 3 days and I said ok sounds good.. Then about 5 mins later I recieve another phone call from that same number and its a guy saying oh and by the way I just wanted you to know it must have been a typo when entering the VIN.. Well if anyone knows anything about VIN numbers its a little hard to typo a 17 Character number and come up with the same kinda pickup with the same mileage the has been wrecked! I have proof of all this and think that engineandtransmissionworld should be shut down and the guys running the joint should be put in prision for fraud.. I did get my money back but look how much research I had to go through to prove they were commiting a crime! Do not fall for this company because they are exactly what they tell you to look out for! Brokers with no inventory Thanks for reading this and I hope this makes the news because this company needs shut down...
