Excellent Customer service
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.
Great company with outstanding customer service. Always get answers to my questions and always get my order to me quickly!
Great site and price
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!!!
customer service and parts availability is fantastic
Prompt service, Friendly people and hassle free
