Sanchez Auto Parts is running a scam and ripping people off. He is using craigslist to help him do it, but it is not craigslists fault by any means. We found an engine there that he was advertising that had 35k miles on it for a Mazda3. We had to put a deposit down for them to remove the engine. Once the engine was removed, or said it was removed, we went down to take a look at it. As my brother was finishing the deal, I the certified mechanic, was looking at the engine. The owner would not let me do any checks on the engine and said if I removed anything he would not cover the warranty.
So after just briefly looking at the engine and saw the engine oil pan was filled with dirt and the timing cover only had 4 bolts in it with red rtv coming out of it, I told him we did not want to take the engine. He said the engine only had 35K miles on it and that was his first lie. He said that he guaranties the engine to be good, that was his second lie and then the fly wheel would only turn a 1/4 of a turn. There was the third lie. This engine was probably returned for the 35k mile engine we were looking for. So after we did not like the motor we requested our money back and he said nope no refunds, even though we never left the premises. He took the money I put down 2 weeks ago and the money we had gave him 5 min before.
So I am writing this now to warn anyone that needs a part not to use Sanchez Auto Parts. It is just a matter of time that this company will be shut down for good and that owner will get what is coming for him. The Police have told me that there has been 45 reports in just the last few months for this one business alone. He would not even show up and was having his son do his dirty work and would yell at me over the phone but would not show up until after the police had arrived. This guy is ripping good people off and giving junk yards a bad name. I have been going to junk yards since I was a boy and this is the first time I have ever had a problem.
Doing business the right way will always make you more money. If there is anything I can do to keep people from giving their money away to this guy I will.
