I bought a used engine from Josh M. of Regions Auto Parts on March 11, 2011.  Josh told me that the engine had 41,912 miles on it & was in good condition.  He said that it would be shipped as soon as he received my credit card authorization.  I faxed the document on 03/11/11.  And waited.  The part arrived on 03/24/11.

To make a long story short, the engine has "rod knocking"  & is no good.  I did a little research with the tracking # & found out that the engine was sold to Prestige Auto Parts (partner, affiliate, or alias of Regions Auto Parts) by noname, Pensacola FL.  I called noname & inquired about the engine sold with tracking # xoxoxoxo (yrc.com) & they told me that the engine had 184,000 miles on it.  I called Regions  to see what they would do to fix the situation, & they told me to look at my warranty- ship it back at my expense.  They do not cover labor etc.  That would be understandable IF they actually sent me an engine in good condition with 41,912 miles on it.

After a little more research, I found 3 similar complaints against Regions Auto Parts at Ripoff Reports.  Complaints #703810, #689455 & #694815 sound just like mine.  At this point, I'll be out shipping 2 ways & labor to my mechanic, approx. $850.00, IF regions refunds the cost of the engine.

& I still need an engine.

File complaint at FL BBB

I've filed a complaint with the FL BBB & I hope that everyone that regions ripped off will file too.
We all have the same story,  getting a useless engine with way more miles than the price quote.

regions auto sent me a bad engine & I'm out $1000

AUTHOR: lwolf1263 - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, April 21, 2011

 they did refund my original payment, but they won't  reimburse me for the installation of the engine ($987.21)

What I bought from them was supposed to be an engine in good shape with 41,192 miles on it & what they sent was a  lousy engine with 184,000 miles on it.

How can they stay in business this way??????  & how can they keep getting away with this?????? 

Seems like fraud to me.
