He was a great help with ordering and refunding the sales tax,
I would give 5 stars but my first time ordering from here and using aftermarket parts. The price is reasonable comparing to original Cat parts and the customer support is great and hoping to do more business with them
customer service and parts availability is fantastic
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!
Very prompt services !
Very helpful. Every question or request I had was answered quickly. I didn't have a parts book for my excavator but that was no problem for them. If you need parts for your Cat, give them a shot.
Grateful I found this company!
I’m grateful I found this company! They answer the phone every time plus the parts are packaged very well!! Even the angriest mailman couldn’t damage your parts! lol The parts showed up as planned and for being aftermarket the quality seems to be good!! The warranty is the same as CAT. Thank you Daniel!!!
