This place is a rip off...Its a website that makes it seem like theyre selling you good engines with all these fake testimonals & says how long theyve been around but theyre a really new fly by night engine brokerage..A third party charging a premium for searching public websites to find you an engine...
NONE of them are mechanics & NONE of them know anything about what theyre pimping...ask them a tech question they dont have prewritten & they'll make up an answer or put you on hold to call the vendor..
the site gets its name from "heat calls" which are a sales term for when a customer you sold calls back to complain..
So heres how the scam plays out..
You need an engine.. you search the web.. & they pay for ads on search engines so theyre on the top of the list..
you look at the site..
theyve been around for ages.. all knowlegable staff.. tons of testimonys from doctors, firefighters & even war vets saying how great they are.. you put in your info... CONGRATS.. we have your engine.. better call before its gone..
You call & someone answers. prob some twinkie huffing fat a*s watching porn while he sells you..
"yeah 2002 BMW 540i"
"Got one"
"awesome tell me about it"
"24k miles.. best motor ive ever seen... $1,ooo bucks after our current special & free shipping"
"thats great everyone else wants 3 times that i'll take it"
$ $ got one!
he then goes to one of the several public access parts sites (most use car-part.com) & finds the cheapest motor he can get reguardless of miles, buys it & ships it to you.. he'll promise 4days total..
you'll wait 2 weeks & when you installit & realize what you get your f****d cuz you signed for it & now the best you can do is call & get ignored.. even if you charge them back you have to pay for shipping & restocking & none of the mechanics work is covered by theyre warranty so if they do send you another one you have to pay for installin the first one.. pulling it back out & installin the new one.. not to mention shipping for both engines
any lawsuits have to be in the home town in Northeast FL.. so they'll tell you "go ahead fly out here & sue me!"
now im not saying every engine they'll send every person is bad BUT.. any used motor will have more milage then your told by usually more than double & the vender they buy it from may test it but they dont half of them couldnt even explain what the test did or how you would do them they just use it as gravy wording.. you tell them your engine you bought from them has blow by.. "maam i dont know what would cause that let me put you on hold till you get tired of waiting & hang up.."
do some research & buy direct from the same vendors theyre gonna call anyways or atleast research the sites before you buy.. most these places make $300-$400 off each customer!
