Spares manufacturers+shops: Who are the Good, the Bad and the Ugly?
Guardian.:
scorpion, have of course had problems and breakeges, but look at the volume of gear they move!, a lot of people knock them, but majority buy their gear, i have a fair bit of scorpion on my trucks believe it or not, and from what ive had off them there is no quality issue, there are just a tad on the expensive side, but you get that in all walks of life.
some of you i know dont like that they just copied stuff (if they did?), but most of the stuff is the same stuff just different variations, a bumpers a bumper, steering guards a steering guard, whats the difference between same / similar aftermarket goodies bolt ons, and all the crap you buy from the aftermarket service / spares items, bearings bushes, filters etc etc.
i think they get a lot of unececary stick for no good reason, just a lot of hearsay and scaremongery.
that said, dont buy there stuff, buy mine :D

I never even contemplate buying Scorpian stuff for the simple reason they don't put the prices in their massive ads in LRO.
In my experience if someone doesn't list their price - they're too expensive.

M&M 4x4 the stuffs cheap and ok when they get it right but if they send the wrong part they replace it but you have to pay again then send the first lot back for a credit. :(
It took 3 months for them to pick up an exhaust after ten phone calls then another 4 weeks to give me my money back .. :evil:
Chris the manager told me it was a one off and it wouldn't happen again and he would give me a good deal next time I bought something and guess what it did so now I buy from Paddocks :wink:
And I will not buy from them again which is a real shame as some of the deals they offer look great but I would rather spend the money else where and get good service. :D

It could have been worse :evil: Being relativerly local I went to see them about a wrong part I had been sold after a "sales advisor" :lol: measured (incurately) it to check it was what I was asking for. Having gone back once, descovered that the next size down was either too small or not availible I return home to discover that they had sent me away with a different filtre in the same box, so back I go to sort this out for a second time.....
After the down right rude, insolting and hurtful verbal abuse I got the second time from their customer service, its little wounder I haven't been back their since.
On the whole I've had reasonable service from them for years, but if you have any custome service issues with them then I wish you better luck than I had.
