You guys think that BBB could help my brother with Modbargains? The defective rotor they sent to him cause the damage on the ebrake system on that side only. It cost him $500 to get repaired at a dealership cuz he didn't know what was wrong.

 

I would assume all of these complaints I'm reading would be PLENTY to get these guys to straighten out.

If everyone would file a complaint, these guys will have no where to hide. There are many other options out there for aftermarket parts. There is no reason why these guys should stay in business.

There are enough companies out there who can complete a transaction without dropping the ball.

 

I agree there is no way to shrink fiberglass by 1/2 inch on each side.

I guess you get what you pay for. GL with getting your situation resolved with them.

 

That's the funny thing about all this. I agree you get what you pay for. But these guys are selling Schnitzer knock off items, too bad they don't fit.

It's just funny that the two no name Ebay front lips we've put on two of our cars fit near perfect, with no modification necessary other than paint. Not too bad for cheap parts made in Taiwan lol.

 

Wow... mike used to have a top notch reputation... I wonder whats been happening over at Modbargains that is causing their service to go down the crapper... good to know, I was about to direct a friend their for parts, unless I hear a good rebuttal that won't happen now.

that said, the cost of the paint as mentioned above is your friend's fault. especially with replica parts you HAVE to test fit first. So said friend should eat the cost of painting the difuser and get the rest back

 

Once you are trying to return something and you get the woman that works their on the phone with you it goes downhill..I once ordered eyebrows for my e46 a long time ago and they sent me the wrong ones so I contacted them and asked them for an exchange. They told me that they were out of the eyebrows that I wanted and that they would contact me when they get them in. 6 months later I still haven't been contacted about it and in those 6 months I have emailed and phoned and to no avail I still have the eyebrows even though I sold my e46. I tried selling them on a forum but they are soo ugly no one wants them lol.

 

It sounds like a situation where this guy is just buying lots of parts from different suppliers and isn't accepting any responsibility for their quality. It's a shame.

I still stand by my first statement, though... any body parts must be fitted prior to prep/paint!

Hope it all works out.

I ordered a carbon fiber grill for the M5, and was very clear to be sure it was in stock (as they were hard to come by at that point in time).

Guess what, they never came, and after eventually escalating to threatening emails, I finally got a response, which was, they're out of stock. I did get refunded, but the whole thing left me resolved to never use them again.

In the end, a trip to Home Depot, a can of spray primer, and can of matte black spray paint, and I'm 5% more murdered out that I was that morning.

 

Wait a minute......your profile clearly says you're 22........but you just said you've been a BMW tech since you're 16?? And prior to that you were building Porsche race cars??? Either you're not 22 or you're full of ****.....sorry to be so forward....but what's the truth? Also I don't believe the BBB can do ANYTHING.....all they do is document and if you're bad ....put you on the bad list......I am pretty sure they can do nothing beyond that.....

I understand the OP may have an individual case, sadly these things happen.

Its also real easy for everyone else to chime in and bash. Hope everything works out.

My experiences have always been quick, fast, and easy.

 

Actually to be more specific it ended up costing $1,600 total which I never came close on having someone pay for the 500 ebrake damage that the defected rotor caused. Then after things cleared up a lil bit I was asking for my refund back for the extra money I had them charge my CC to get the extra rotor I needed to replace the defected one they weren't so quick about it because they wanted to hear back from the people to make sure the rotor was defected which determined who was going to pay for it Modbargains or one of they places they sourced these rotors from. I posted a hate thread about Modbargains then I got threatened to be sued because I stated the name of the company they source threw with this brake kit I bought which I am all set with having to deal with but honestly if they never told me the companies name plus the number to call them to specifically do there dirty work so they would pay for the shipping for the extra rotor cus neither wanted to pay for the extra expenses then I would have never known to begin with.

The funny thing is ending off in a good note this nice guy Gabe from modbargains just so happened to PM me the other day because he posted on a thread sayin if anyone needs any help it'd be his pleasure too so I ended up asking him if he could get me my $24.39 that they never gave back to me for shipping the defected rotor back to them to analize they only covered and gave me back the money they charged for the extra rotor plus to ship the rotor to the dealership so I guess they ain't so bad at least Gabe is trying to get my 24 bucks back cus its not that money at this point its the principal they promised me that money back not even talking about after this experience they should have giving me all this stuff for free I feel!

 

+1 I smell fish.

I've always heard good things about them until last year. They've gone downhill since them or what?

 

I ordered a bunch of parts for my 08 E92 BMW there...Rieger Rear Wing, Carbon Fiber Eyelids, KWv2 Coilovers....never had an issue.

 

This is very strange. I know Mike from MB personally and his character, ethics, and integrity are second to none. I have purchased a number of things without any issues. On one occasion, my blacked out kidney grills had a few clips broken when delivered. I emailed mike immediately, he responded right away, paid for shipping, and got me new ones within 10 days.
