Customer Reviews
Propel parts is a good Cat vendor that provides a top notch service to customers from ordering to delivery. Their after sales service is really impressive.
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
Quick and efficient.
Great products and a great team to deal with. We had a small issue with a missing part and the Customer Services Team dealt with it quickly and efficiently and in a way which left me, the customer, feeling entirely satisfied. Would highly recommend.

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.
