Negative feedback on Autoatlanta is plastered all over this site and I didn't listen. Now that is stupid. Does anybody know what's wrong with these people cause I've never seen something like this. They just substitute items, break up kits and charge you more for the separate pieces. And of course every time you pay S&H.

The following blew me completely away. I ordered a spoiler for $99. They sent me an e-mail 1 month after I placed my order to tell me that they now have spoilers in stock costing $175 and whether I would like one of these because the $99 ones will take a while to be resupplied. I sent an answer back telling them "No, I'll wait till the one I ordered is available". And today I received a spoiler for which they charged me $187 (not including S&H) Errrrr ... whatthefu...

Sooo, my rule is now: I will not buy anything from AA unless I can't find it anywhere else. Unfortunately they do carry some pieces that are hard to find.

25 years of excellence ... I do wonder at what they excel?

Your new rule is that you will not buy anything from AA unless you can't find it anywhere else.

good luck on the return. good luck on the credit hassle. good luck on the long distance phone bill. good luck with customer service. post a series of questions at aa"s "tech forum" reqarding your issue with the sale. clear the cobwebs first. i knew better and still bit for a piece-o-shite valance. if you should post there be level headed. mine lasted for about a week. about equal to the traffic there.

kevin- never ever again. my cars will sit idle first.

Call your credit card company and have them reverse the charge. Tell AA, to either sell you the spoiler for $99 or arrange for a delivery pickup at your convenience if they want it back.

Back in2001 I was in Atlanta for the Petit Lemans, thought I would stop by AA just to check the place out, its only a few miles from the track. Any way when we got there we were looking at some of the cars for sale on the lot and the most annoying used car saleman type I have ever encountered in my life would not leave us alone,He was a dick. When we made our way inside,everyone in that place was a snotty dick,when I asked to see the "916" and the M471 Car they told me "they are unavaliable for viewing" what a bunch of FUCKING DICKS!! Anyhow I've never bought from them since! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif)
