well i dedcided after reading alot of reports on d&j auto part that i would try to locate them and after a little P.I. work i did .they were where at work and what time is it 3:36 a.m. ha ha ha they work or should i say scam from there very own home and all the allias's they use are fake to protect them from harm. i will not realese there real name but i suggest that you do not conduct any buisness with these folks. they do it all from a home computer and they take your money go online and order the parts for you. there friendly little gesture of give it to you rough is that they order the part from another company or junk/salvage yard and then sell it to you for a lot more than they pay for it. ha ha ha (not really funny just being sarcastic)

im sorry to be the one to report there little internet scam but some one needs to before any more of you get ripped off. i just found this sight tonite and look up all the buisness's up that had rip off reports on them and d&j auto parts rang absolutly no bell so i looked then up in the phone book, no listing in the yellow or white pages. so then i took a little drive and what do i find a forign nam on the mail box and after reading the other testamonials i though well i have to tell you guys.

they are belived to be american citizens with forgin accents whom go under many allias's jay smith ha ha ha how funny smith very common amrican name to be coming from some one not so american huh well they go by jay because there last name starts with(J.A.Y.) many people have ordered parts from them and when they get then there no good old worn out wrong color for the wrog year of vehicle wrong mileage so in a nut shell (DON NOT DO BUISNESS WITH THEM AT ALL....) AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS AND NOT GETING RIPPED OFF. I WISH I COULD HELP YOU MORE) but i cant unless you get law enforcment envolved and then you could actually do that you'r self. the address and phone number above would help you get started (THEY DO NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY NO MATTER WHAT)

The IL State Attorney General Agrees that D & J SUCKS

AUTHOR: BlueSkyDi - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, August 12, 2011

Internet business pays $3,600 in refunds


Wayne Co. resident returns consumers' money after attorney general's investigation

Wayne County Internet seller Kumara Jayasuriya, also known as Jay Smith, has issued 10 consumer refunds totaling $3,649 and is required to comply with Indiana law in all future transactions.

The Wayne Circuit Court approved an agreement that requires the refunds after the attorney general investigated complaints that consumers paid for auto parts and did not receive their items in a timely fashion or received incorrect or defective auto
parts.

Click Here
The court's order names Smith individually and doing business as D & J Auto Parts, 1234 S. 9th St. in Richmond.

"Internet businesses that offer products online are obligated just like any other merchant to deliver products in a timely manner," Attorney General Steve Carter said. "We will aggressively pursue bad Internet sellers.
It's important that consumers can shop with confidence when they are making online purchases."

The number for D & J Auto Parts was disconnected as of Thursday afternoon.

From 2004 to 2006, Smith would respond to consumers who posted messages on part locator Web sites with offers to sell them
the part they needed. Approximately 20 consumers complained to the attorney general that they either did not receive the product in a timely manner or received a defective product.

Some of the consumer complaints were resolved through refunds, chargebacks or shipment of the items prior to the
court's order.

Attention P.I. Investigator

AUTHOR: Regina Grimes - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, September 11, 2008

To Whom It May Concern: In Regards to the P.I. who did his investigation, 1st and foremost I work for this company and if it isn't real or legit, by all means enlighten me. I work here 9 hours a day along with my two co-workers. We work very hard to satisfy our customers and yes we will go above and beyond to satisfy them. Meaning, if we don't have the part in our wharehouses/yard/garage, we do rely on our sister yards. Does that make us a fradulant company, "I don't think so"! It's called customer satisfaction. Now do we make mistakes "yes" we are human! Sad, that you made note that the owners were foreign, last time I checked any and all nationalities, race, color and creed were welcome in our country, "LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE"! Yes the are from another country, but they have put opportunity for three Americans to have employment, myself being one of them. So therefore, if you need a part, call us 1-877-846-1666, we are here 8am to 6pm, we will do everything possible to satisfy your automotive needs.
