it was a very pleasant shopping experience, i will definitely be shopping here again.

I was looking around the web for a hub for a harmonic balancer, no one had it in stock and I come about your web sight. I looked up the hub and low and behold you had 3 instock. I ordered it late Monday and received it on Thursday. I wil tell Autoplicity made my day.

By far the best price on the web for this item. I saved enough to buy other parts I needed. Parts were shipped the next day. A++ transaction

Placing the order was a breeze!

Not sure if they overlooked my order but I didn't get my shipping info (3 days after ordered) until I emailed asking for status update. I received a response the following day and all my items ordered came 2 days later...much faster than I had anticipated considering the "delay" or lack thereof (5 days total). Long story short...items are as described, best prices (from what I can researched online for same items/brand) and resonable shipping prices. the selection and brand(s) offered were somewhat limited for my specific needs, otherwise I would've ordered more.

Great Site easy to follow and fast response!
