Tiene una buena atención y servicio
Steven & Propel Parts were a huge help! We were able to place a large order and get it shipped out same day to avoid a line down situation for a customer due to a lost component. The order was even submitted after the 3pm cutoff for same day shipments and we got it the next morning!
Received 15 items within 5 days from placing order !
Great. !
Customer Service.
I recently had to cancel an order with Propel Parts, and I was thoroughly impressed by the prompt and efficient service I received. Steven handled my request with professionalism and speed, ensuring a hassle-free process. I've purchased parts from Propel Parts before and have never been disappointed. Their consistent reliability and excellent customer service keep me coming back.
Have been buying parts from them for years, and they have always delivered, both with parts and customer service.
Everything fine, thank you. The only thing with which I had a problem in your Software, is that when I have more than 10 different items on the list, I can't scroll to the first ones. But besides that, I am very happy in going on with buying your parts.
Great service at an affordable price to get my machine back going.
