Its in Jesus name I pray..Amen

These people are con artists. I ordered an 02 Dodge Ram Engine with 30, 000 miles and was promised it would be delivered within a week. After 2 months, I STILL had no engine. It wasn't until I disputed the credit card charge and consulted with an attorney that they finally sent an engine, that my mechanic said has been blown and has at LEAST 120, 000 miles on it. Dale and his staff will constantly lie, telling you that the engine is on it's way, that they will have a tracking number any day, etc. etc. etc. to get you to hold on until it is too late to dispute your credit card charges. I am STILL fighting with them over the $2600 on a POS engine. Do NOT do business with this company. You will regret it. Buyer beware.

i recently bought and engine from this so called honest company and waited 5 weeks for delivery, when i installed it the engine has a massive rod knock, customer service is brutal, the only thing this company is good at is steam cleaning and silicone spray to make everything on the outside look good i am not done with these people yet, do not buy anything from these people ..

These clowns have had 99 BBB complaints since June '09. Shameless. But they have this hilarious message on their website: "Be aware of brokers that pretend to be actual salvage yards. Companies that do not have an actual yard with a full inventory are brokers, and they are simply up-selling you for a larger profit. These brokers sell you a marked up part, then they scour the internet and purchase the cheapest low quality parts and purchase them for next to nothing. They then proceed to send that part to you. They do NO testing, NO cleaning, and provide NO documentation."
There's nothing wrong with brokering - all recyclers do it - but these guys are idiots for giving a warning then doing the exact same thing!

THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION THEY SAID FOR A QUOTE AND TO GET ME INFO ON THE ENGINE I WAS INTERSTED IN. I LOOK AT MY BANK AND THEY HAD TAKEN OUT THE FULL AMOUNT. I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET A CAR FAX ON THIS ENGINE BEFORE I SAID IT WAS OK. THIS PLACE KEPT HANGING UP ON ME WHEN I WAS TRYING TO CALL ABOUT THESE CHARGES THEY JUST KEPT HANGING UP ON ME. I HAVE CONFRONTED OUR SALES MAN SAID HE WOULD SEND THE CARFAX THEN CALL US BACK TO SEE IF WE WANT IT. THEY WILL NOT ANSWER OR HELP US. I AM FILING WITH THE FBI AND THROUGH A LAWYER. THESE PEOPLE HAVE OVER THREE HUNDRED COMPLAINTS. I CALLED THEM 12 TIMES TODAY ON 04/25/2011. LAST PERSON TO HANG UP ON ME WAS ALAN THE GENERAL MANAGER. CONTACT ME ANYTIME [protected] AMBER MILLS

Same just happened to me. I had no way to know what type of company they where because they are starting to use alias's. qualityusedtransmission.com with engineandtransmissionworld's phone number posted to it. It starts at that sight then you fill out a form unknowingly on engineandtrasmissionworld.com because it clicks over to it. I figured it out after I made payment when I got the strange confirmation emails saying engineandtransmissionworld.com. Classic deception used by fraudulent company's trying to hide there bad name. Interestingly enough I am as of right now taking a 5 week summer course for college on this very thing (social media) first chapter "deception used on the internet". Anyway, I tried to cancel after investigating further finding several peculiar things about the company and the transaction. Of course refused to refund the entire amount claiming a 25% fee for handling and restocking. The new scam is to wait several days before sending the non-working transmission/engine then hopefully the customer finds out their track record (no good) and charge customers money for doing nothing. They also illegally post ASE certification (quality tested) and BBB (better business bureau) on the qualityusedtransmissions.com at the bottom of the web page. Its an elaborate scam. I just don't understand why they would continue to do it. Their assets will be froze and taken even if transferred to another persons name at anytime. Definitely go to prison for several federal charges most likely for life (including any employee who aids in the scam right down to packaging). So if you got an attorney in mind to help the several hundreds of people these fellas scammed let me know. We should contact all the people scammed with a great attorney who can sue them for what ever we can get. Another thing I noticed on their web site was the economic hard times and helping people through it. More like aid more financial hardship thus continuing economic down fall. Not to mention the people who relied on getting that part for their vehicle to get back and forth from working and picking up the kids. Some may have likely lost their job or jobs due to this scam of theirs "engine and transmission world" continuing the force into economic hardship, and eventually through several hundred people being scammed (economic depression). We need to get these guys and take them down fast!

They sent an engine that was not the one we ordered. Carfax paperwork did not match engine. When we tried to return, they refused insisting it was right engine. Since they refuse to acknowledge it is the wrong engine, they refuse to give money back. The best offer they have is to ship back at up to $500 of our own dime and get dinged with a hefty restocking fee. They know they have us between a rock and a hard place because all they have to do is deny, deny, deny and lie, lie, lie through there rotten teeth. Allen the general manager will become abusive and hang up if you challenge him. These people have no conscience and just bring misery into the world.

Got ripped off myself. They never sent my transmission and then kept 1/3 of my money for restock? How do you restock something you haven't unstocked? Filed with wisconsin consumer fraud in madison. Rudest shipping guy ( dale ) I have ever encountered on a phone, . Rigg- Augusta, Ga.

After reading this complaint, amongst many, many others, I agree with the complainant regarding the fraudulent Engine and Transmissions World. This company attempted to defraud me several times by giving me various quotes ranging from $451 to $690.00 for the very same part within a span of only 7 straight days! When I confronted them about these prices, they changed their tone and started using childish derogatory slurs. Dobrenko and Simmons of Engine and Transmission World must be criminally charged for fraud and attempted fraud. Based upon the sheer multitude of complaints, there appears to be a solid case against them, both criminally and civilly.

Very difficult company to deal with. They send out wrong parts, broken parts, very poor packaging and customer service, don't care about automotive shops waiting and waiting and waiting, and they lie lie lie. Dale should be put in jail for the fraud he perpetrates. The girl in shipping is also very difficult and john "the supervisor" never answers phone or returns inquiries!

I am going through the same. But I am going to call LKQ on Monday because that is where the part came from so I think these people are only selling for LKQ. So I feel that LKQ should be responsible. But I got a transmission and front differential and the transmission was dead so I paid the mechanic extra to split them and put the differential on my old transmission which is loud but still works, I wanted them to replace my transmsssion but they said I was frauding them, frauding isn't even a word. Dale is an idiot.
