Alright I feel like I need to chime in here.
I rebuilt an engine. I used 10 corner seal plugs from Atkins and 2 from Mazda (yes I can be strange like that sometimes). The engine ran for 3 minutes, then I opened it again. The 10 plugs from Atkins were completely destroyed and 2 from Mazda were completely new. I placed another order from Atkins and I clearly wrote (at least 4 times) that I want:
I received everything last week. The parts came in bags with blue and white Mazda tags. Wonderful! I just discovered that one of my corner seals had to be changed, so I went to the local dealership and ordered one. It came with the corner seal plug. I could compare directly the OEM plug from the local dealership with the Atkins OEM plug. I don't wanna complain here about the bad quality of corner seal plugs. My concern is the fact that I paid extra money to get OEM plugs and they sent me "their OEM" plugs but with the Mazda tag in the Ziploc bag. That is pure FRAUD and I don't understand how they can get away with this. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...081cdbccda.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...343ee51135.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0b1ced4940.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...20e7ac6b7a.jpg |
Oh damn glad I saw this thread
|
I put down $2500 in new bushings from Atkins a year ago. After reading this this thread i also specified in the «message» field that i wanted OEM parts only. And thats pretty much what i got.
(Unless it was a straight up forgery with fake mazda labels, which is a crime) When i got the box they had «mislabeled» the value and forgott the last zero, saving me $500 in import tax. My experience with them is nothing but good on all accounts :) |
Why gamble?
www.mazdatrix.com is right here, and without a reputation of putting lesser quality parts in a Mazda bag and charging full price for them. |
