Very nice job
Customer service was excellent today! I have never had a company go behind the scenes to see what was happening with my payment error and resolve it so I could complete my order without having to do it all over again. Hats off to Propel Parts!
Online order.
I had a good experience this morning I placed an online order and everything went smoothly. The staff at propel parts has always been helpful in the past when I have been looking for harder to find parts or something that wasn’t listed online.
Awesome and diligent support. Would definitely recommend
Satisfied Customer.
I made my first purchase from Propel Parts last week. I was very happy with the response time and the delivery was fast, fast, fast! Also, the quality of the product is superb and at a great low price.
Keep up the great work!
Propel Parts provided quality parts for my Caterpillar needs at a very fair price. Shipping to my international location was very fast. took about a week for the parts to get here. Seller is also responsive with my inquiry.
Thanks again
Good service, quick response.
I put 2 of the same orders in due to a web page error and shortly after I was contacted by Deb from customer service asking if I meant to place both orders. She was very helpful, the email was very well written and it genuinely made me feel better about the whole experience. She resolved the issue quickly and with there not being much of customer service these days I was very happy so see that is not the case everywhere!!!
Having issue running my credit card, Steven was more than helpful to send me a payment link to complete my transaction!
The best supplier ever we mainly deal with most rare needed parts .. i highly recommend .. they are very very honest
