Tods right-

It all comes from one place.

Repo sheet metal is allowing China to take over the world one fender at a time. Always look for NOS and if you can't afford it save up until you can-or find used originals and put in the patches- it can be done nicely.

Of course all the interior repop stuff and the lousy quality chrome are courtesy of the Chinese also, so source out used originals there as much as possible.

You cant really restore a car nicely or affordably these days- Its better to just save your beans and buy a nice used original car.

BTW- I have seen the Tamraz ads on Ebay- why buy from them when you can use Ausley's or Lutty's or the Paddock? LOL, chintzy Ebay ads shouldnt reel you in.

Thanks Scorp
I hear what you are saying. But they are local (savings on shipping). And I asked about the quality,I guess thats what pisses me off the most. I have bought many pieces of sheet over the last 30 years, and I did ask the proper questions, in fact I had told them about the recent stories I have heard and seen, and the salesman said"we have had no problems ever, none" I asked "none ?" again I reminded him I have bought sheet metal before and that is a huge statement to make....He said """'none""", I assure you the quality is great. So combine that with a local company and high quality, it was a great choice.....so I thought...I gave them a chance to make to right ? The only option they gave me was possibly discounts on future purchases.
That statement by itself speaks volumes
They seem to have a big busniess,,,but they will not ever get any of mine
I do appreciate you comments and guidance on this forum, and I realize these are only opinions
I did not use EBAY to find Tamraz, I just looked up fenders 70 chevelle and that is hoe this B.S. started

Bix-

I have never seen these guys at any car show and never saw them advertise other than Ebay- I see they have a web addy too.

The bottom line is that most of the problems you see come across this forum are private party transactions or through second tier companies. There may be problems with Ausley's or the Paddock or Summitt or Jegs but you don't see them here rarely if at all. Why? because they are large organizations that apply time and effort to all aspects of business including customer service.

Bottom line is that you get what you pay for and a few dollars saved on one end is spent on the other.

Maybe its as easy as this- If they are legit they will have a catalog- Its easy to set up a website but takes much more coin to go to print and mail a catalog to a buyer - free or for just a few bucks.

Think about it - maybe its that simple.

They are legit, have been in buisness before internet, Ive been to there store, but I think a large part of there buisness is from the internet & is drop shipped from suppliers. Ive bought from them for pickup at there store to save on shipping costs & they insisted on me inspecting the pannels before loading my truck. as far as fit..... sucked bad, made by dynacorn, but if your thinking goodmark is any better WRONG!! THEY COME FROM THE SAME PLACE.

Mem- I have never seen these guys anywhere.

I think I need to get out more.

I still feel that in the interest of customer satisfaction they should make this gentleman whole. A little bad publicity goes a long way & will cost them far more in buisness than the cost of eating the parts. JMO

They should at least give him a different set of fenders to try. Often times some will fit some won't.

They are a big company
They have ads on Racing Junk Currently check 1886305
I got them on favorites ?????????
They have catalogs
I spent good money for these fenders, I was only trying to save a few bucks on shipping. approx 125 to 200
And it seems as if I would have got problems from other places.
Any way if the salesman would have said they are the same quality you will get elsewhere, I still would have bought from them and put up with the consequences, but that is not what he said, "we have no problems with these fenders, none".
Honest I have been playing with cars 35 plus years, I suppose as I get mature I may have become less patient with ignorance and lies, but they misrepresented the product they sold me and made almost zero attempt to make it right. That is why I am putting this in the forum, also the two car clubs that I am a member of have been notified of the bad experience I have had with this company.
Again comments are always welcome
I learn everyday how to become a better person to others and myself, and I have learned from this
Happy Memorial Day
PS I just spent 300 on the two chevelles I own in the pass 1.5 weeks. Now I will not tell you that Tamraz would have got all the busniess, but if the deal went OK they would have got some of it, now they get NONE of it. And I have not bought any of the bigger ticket items yet
Sincerely, Jeff M
You would think they would call and try to talk and make it right,I quess not

Scooterz

Well Jeff, you would think that a big company would have a customer service department would would specialize in making these things right. To ignore you says a lot.

You would think that they would try to make it right. In fact I got the opposite, I spoke to a manager named Todd and I asked him if I could lodge a formal complaint. And all I got from him was a alot of words,I offered him the opportunity to make it right, all I wanted was what I paid for, he told me he did not have have the right fender in stock and I forget what he said about how long it would be before he did. But it was a long time....And he did not offer to take them back, only if they did, it would have to be packed in the original boxes w/o any marks or paint etc, he said the way I got them, well no one would want the right one and the left had clearly been repaired by a body hammer from the inside. In my opinion he had sold these fenders ,they took them back, then he sold them to me. Knowing this he was resisitive to taking them back and creating more problems, well bottom line they got their money for the fenders and they were done with me. This attitude and company mentality will catch up with them. JMO
But still no calls, also they are advertising more on Racing Junk.
If anyone decides to buy from them please be carefull !!!!!. It may not be worth the hassle.It is hard to buy over the internet as it is, but when you combine that with misrepresentation of a product and poor customer focus you might believe that the company is not worth getting any of your busniess. They are off my list of places to buy from. You folks form your own opinions. But I have stated the fact the way they happened
