I bought two JR filters, and a complete 3'' JT Exhaust system from Elkparts over the space of a few years.

The service I've received from them has been excellent, with prompt emails. I must say tho that the box containing my exhaust components looked a little worse for wear, with part of the exhaust falling through it, exposed when delivered..

Not their fault, perhaps the delivery company, however maybe stronger packaging would be better.

Overall good products at good prices run promptly.

I have ordered numerous small bits and pieces from Elkparts and all have arrived quickly in full working order.
Responses from the company to any questions have been prompt

I too have ordered various items from Elkparts in the past: service has always been friendly, delivery has always been prompt, and prices keen.

Also, I find Elkparts extremely willing to offer advice and guidance whether a sale is forthcoming or not.

I can't comment on how they solve any problems which may arise as I haven't had any problems!

The couple of parts that I have ordered have always arrived next day with no problems. Answers to enquiries always prompt and helpful.

Had a few bits and pieces from Elk.. totally un-eventful... everything arrived within a very reasonable time, intact, no hassles! Some bits arrived quicker than I thought possible!

Also ordered a stage 2 kit.... I too experienced a small issue with exhaust packaging, but no problem, damage was out of sight, and my comments were responded too with concern... and a small token of compensation was delivered without my prior knowledge or asking!

I ordered a Forge BOV from Elkparts. Got it shipped to my door in the States for $20 less then I could have gotten it locally. And it was here in 3 days. Very good company and a pleasure to do business with.

Have ordered once through Elkparts. Before this I shot of a ruddy great shopping list, which Julian managed to find most of, at good prices. Nothing but good service here!

I also have ordered a few small bits from them without fan fare. I had a chance to talk with them for awhile at the Steam and Spares event and they seem pretty straight. Positive recommendation from me.

I have ordered things from Elk on a few occasions and made some enquiries too. Each time I got a very prompt e-mail response and goods from stock arrived next day. The only delay I have had was when I ordered some genuine Saab parts that had to be shipped from Saab. The delay was Saab's fault and in the meantime, circumstances changed and I didn't need some of the parts. Elk chased up the order and got it to me ASAP, and were quite happy to cancel part of the order and make a refund.

When I encouraged a colleague with another make of car to enquire at Elk for high-brightness H3 bulbs at a good price, he was told they didn't carry H3, as they weren't used on any Saab. I pointed out that they are used in the 9000 foglamps and was told they would order some. I had forgotten about the conversation when I received an e-mail one day saying they had got some Osram Super H3 bulbs in stock and offering to let my colleague and I have a pair each at substantial discount.

If there's one thing I can say about Elk, it's that they listen to the customer.

Iv'e ordered a few things from Elk and always had great service, they even remembered what car I had when I ordered a wrong part (doh!).
Only thing I can't understand is, how did I let john sell me 2 indicator bulbs for £17

Quote from above....The service I've received from them has been excellent, with prompt emails. I must say tho that the box containing my exhaust components looked a little worse for wear, with part of the exhaust falling through it, exposed when delivered..

Not their fault, perhaps the delivery company, however maybe stronger packaging would be better.

I order a JT exhaust, fast delivery was required and delivery was met, but I had the same problems as above, box was battered and holed, some of the exhaust ends were bent but nothing I couldn't straighten out though. I agree a stronger packaging required or a better courier.

 

[John Milton]

I have had a number of items from Elk. The service they have supplied is one of total satisfaction from the onset of selecting a stg one upgrade to requesting information on which exhaust to match. Profesional, knowledgeable and very good Communication both by e-mail and by phone (even traced me to a friends house in the north east just to check that I had been able to instal the Stg 1 and all went well) This is well above normal service levels for the car industry.

 

[maartenvandorst]

Ordered a JT 3" turboback exhaust through Elkparts and had the same issue with the packaging.

Elkparts responded to my e-mails very quickly. They have been friendly and helpfull, I've never enjoyed such a high level of customerfriendlyness.

My JT exhaust system, ordered through Maptun, was shipped directly from Speedparts. I also found the packaging a bit flimsy, although the contents were undamaged.

 

[nutcase]

Whilst it wasn;t an exhaust I ordered, the packaging for my parts (which had springs in, so wasn't light!) was, if anything, overkill. This was only last week, so perhaps they have taken note?
