So I first experienced Art's Parts earlier this morning when I was searching for seats for my truck. I saw that they had a set and promptly called them up. The guy who answered was fairly rude, not so much with what he said, but how quickly he tried to dismiss me and get me off the phone.
After arriving at their yard, I looked at the seats, asked if they could be returned (twice) and was told it wouldn't be a problem at all. The seats weren't the best, and I really didn't want them, but hey, they could be returned.
That is when we ran into a problem.
The seats did not fit in my vehicle properly, so I decided to take them back.. yanno.. since I was assured it'd be no big deal. So I drive another half hour to go back, walk into the office and tell em I was bringing the seats back. I was then (and only then) informed that I could only exchange them for other seats.
After I disagreed a few times I just grabbed my receipt and walked out, never to see these people again and eat my loss. As I was walking out, the salesman proceeding to inform me that ""maybe I should learn how to listen better to what people say."" ... umm.. ok jerk, I'll get right on that!
So instead of getting a restock fee out of me (for undoing 8 bolts... I had to clean the damn things myself) and giving me some of my money back. They made sure they will get no future business from myself or anyone I know.
There are a lot of yards out there with better prices, I would advise you to make the extra drive just to avoid Art's.
Pros: nearby? had what I was looking for?
Cons: high prices, say anything to make a sale.
