Anybody know if they are on vacation or something? I was trading emails with them about ordering a part before thanksgiving and stopped receiving replies to my emails. No one answers the phone or returns my calls or emails. Surely they're back from Thanksgiving break by now. Do they have an actual location/shop in stl that I can stop in and talk to them?

There is a thread with the same situation almost EVERY month sadly.

I can't figure out how they keep getting people who want to do business, after all the (negative) publicity that they've earned on here.

Be glad you didn't order the part, and call JonB at partsrack. He doesn't mess around and you won't get ripped!

I wish businesses like this would go OUT of business. This has become all too common with this guy. If he is a VCA site supporter, I think he should be booted. The guy seems to act so nonchalant about everything.

Well, Yes I've read the negative stuff in the past. But I like to try give the guy the benifit of the doubt. I posted this here incase there's a legit reason I can't get a hold of him. I mean, I'm trying to give him money. Not complaining or trying to return anything so I don't think he would be avoiding me for any reason.

I'm looking for a take off part from a salvage car is why I didn't call John B. I don't think he deals with salvage parts. I have dealt with xbuilders in stl before and got good service. Guess I better stay with them.

I have been to his place and yes he and his business are legit. Not sure where michael is? Keep trying him (call) I wont speak into his business practice or communication short falls people have had with him. I had a good experience and thats as much as I can say on my personal experience.:eater:

I like to give business owners the benifit of the doubt, but this occurs way too often with him. I am not sure why he is still a site supporter....he needs to go.

Bought some rims from them several years ago and no problems. However, I don't think I would buy from them again after reading all these threads. Stay away!!!

You'd be surprised with the stuff JonB has or can get. He got me an 08 hood for my 06 when no one else could.


Thanks GB..... I have an 09 new OE Hood in stock now! And 1 used one. Still difficult to get..

Our company was founded on USED Viper parts biz...it now accounts for about 20% of our biz... As many of you posted (or kept secret!) we buy a LOT of "Organ Donor" Vipers each year! THANKS

Indeed. My unicorn needed a kidney transplant, and not only did he have one in stock, he knew a warlock who could perform the procedure.

Bastard! I posted and posted and posted looking for that part and meanwhile I had to use an electric mayonnaise jar while waiting.

I hope your damn unicorn is happy. Mine died when the batteries did. :(

I've spent a few thousand already with Michael/Xvipers. It was all good experiences until my latest order with him which was quoted "3 weeks" to me. That was on Sept 15th, and I've yet to receive my parts or an update on their status. Annoying.

CORRECTION: Im sure I recommended the Viper Wizard, not the Warlock.....And some of those Unicorns have 3 kidneys..."THE YEAR MATTERS!"
