Tired of run arounds from.....(LMC)

Maybe if the price is a lot different I'd go online if the brand can be verified.

I ordered the ball joints at the same time I ordered other parts----the short answer is "convenience". Up to that point, I had a much higher opinion of LMC. Their customer service blamed me for ordering the wrong part OR filling out my profile incorrectly. We had a long discussion on the phone after that--and I sent them pics showing them how their product was made incorrectly-----their answer was "they work for others". As much business as I had done with them up to that point----there was never a suggestion of a refund by them.

I put in a huge order from LMC back in '05 to include a grill, frame pieces for the grill, floormat, vent windows, &c.

Within 2 years, all of these things had to come off, every last thing. It was either rust, dryrot, or poor fit.

I have never ordered from them since.

I normally use Classic Parts for close proximity but I have never bought a bad product from Brothers either.

Scott, why weren't you at the Brothers show? You were missed.

Hey Randy- I'm in Lake Shasta. I've gone to the show for the past eight years and this year they switched the date, which coincided with my vacation.

Well update, after hours of arguing with lmc this morning... I got a full refund, 3 rubber non fitting window seals, 150.00 in store credit(that won't get used on anything, maybe a t-shirt or 2). Now your probably wondering how this was possible... I explained simply that (1) I also run a retail parts store (oriellys) (2) that I would not be referring any of my local customers to lmc for any of the things I can not find and (3) I was going to spread this experience with as many people I could with mass media... All in all score one for the little guy... Sooo it's classic or brothers from now on... I'm in need of a fender now any suggestions lol and not lmc lol

I always have used Classic Parts but contact board vendors first

[crossfire84]

i've had good luck with classic and brothers.

I'd certainly try the board vendors first as I am seeing over and over again. In the army we say that if the whole formation is on the same page, it must be right.

Classic Industries and Classic Parts have both been good when I've bought from them. I've bought from LMC, but I won't make that mistake again.
