All I care is that they work. Like I said, it is not a moving part or critical engine component. I do not need German parts that are twice or more the price if I can buy the same part from another country. Are you the same Chris that has written almost word for word on othe stiesr negative reviews of this company? Did you have a bad experience and want payback? Just like they may be stuffing good reviews there could be one person who had a bad experience and is stuffing their reviews w/ negative ones. I have no way of knowing what is really going on.
I have no dog in this hunt other than my experience with this company. It has been positive. You pays your money and you takes your chances. Maybe I will regret buying this part if they fail soon..... Or they could last another 200K miles. The stock German parts didn't make it to 80K miles. Just eyeballing them side by side with the stock part that came off the car, the new parts seemed to be better built. Time will tell.
I am neither looking for payback nor a battle with you. I was reimbursed 100%. by PAYPAL (after 4 months)
As you may have noticed, I did write a bad review on Yellow bot (and signed it with my full name as I have no reason not to). These guys have developed a very effective method of distributing JUNK and quashing bad reviews. THAT IS WHY I AM TELLING THE TALE.
IF you have read any of my posts (on this or any mercedes forum), you should have noticed that I am neither quick to bash anybody nor quick to comment on something that I don't understand.
DSKUL1, I am neither trying to pick on you or pick a fight with you. I am pointing out for EVERYBODY EXCEPT YOU that THEY should google this company before THEY waste THEIR time and money buying and installing ONE SINGLE ONE OF this companies CHEAP COPIES.
The fact that you believe the part is German because they misrepresent it as such is the reason they are still in business. Relative to your claim that it is not a moving part so it does not matter so much ... I DISAGREE (with your premise and conclusion).
My original comment began with a quote of your post ONLY because you eluded to VAGUE complaints that may or may not have merit. I responded TO THAT. If you want to beleive that I am all about getting even, then PLEASE continue to buy from them. I was speaking to everyone else, and to the extent that members here want to take me at my word (because I have a reputation of knowing what the "F" I am talking about) that is great. Those who don't know me, please, PLEASE do a google search on Deutsche Parts USA.
DSKUL1, I hope that you have good luck with your motor mounts. (seriously). When I bought mine, they looked only mildly sub-standard (and the tranny mount actually looked identical to the name brand one that I ended up getting). It is possible that Hamburg-Technic made good knock-offs of a part that mercedes had Bilstien make for them originally (the actual OEM). I had such a HORRIBLE experience with Deutsche Parts USA's COMPLETE lack of integrity, that I felt obligated to share my experience and ... then when checking them out on the other forums, I found that they continue to sell suspension components (and waterpumps, etc) that are inferior (and just don't last).
