Bavarian Auto Recycling

[e30nub]

Put it this way, soon enough parts will be limited and they will be the only one with the slough of parts. THEN people will HAVE to pay their ridiculous prices.

On a side note, I called one day and was on hold for 30 minutes. Not only was I on hold for so long, when they answered the phone, they were hands down the biggest dicks I've ever dealt with.

way overpriced + shitty service = Bav Auto Recycling

Screw those guys. I truly hope they go out of business for the aggrivation they cause people, tried them 2 times and had problems both times. 1st time after 4 weeks and 4 calls barely got them to ship the part, 2nd time they sold me a part they didn't have and they finally told me after 1 month of me waiting and asking for status. See you at the liquidation sale Bav Auto Recycling :(

Well the thing that got me to buy the tranny was the price. I only paid $395 for a ZF320! Hopefully everything is in working condition when it arrives on Weds, otherwise I'm going to raise hell!

Every junk yard I called wanted b/t $600-$800 for the same tranny. I figured the price and warranty were worth it through Bav Auto Rec. I checked BFC for better deals and couldn't find any. I didn't want to deal with the guys at the junkyards in Glendale or expensive as Harout's; they don't budge on price, and are shady to deal with.

They suck in person too, believe me.

Aren't they a sponsor on BFC?

I just ordered a ZF from them. They were advertising it for sale on ebay for $800 with 56,000 miles on it in great working condition. I called them and told them I am not willing to spend more than $400, so the manager comes on the phone and says the tranny will be at your door for $350. I called back and they even threw in the shifter carrier and selector rod for free. The Transmission is sooo clean it looks new. All in all I am VERY pleased with the price and the visual quality of the ZF. We will see this weekend if it mechanically works as well as they said it does. But if it doesn't they have their 6-month warranty on all their products.

I'll keep you guys posted on it!

lol edit:
mine just got to Phoenix today, maybe they sold me yours? haha sorry bro.

From what I have seen their prices are out of this world too!

That's why I've never even bothered to use them.

$400 + shipping for a diff? $3500 for a complete S52? $350 for a Getrag $260? Eat a muthafucking dick!


Vines Automotive in Alabama, talk to David (David Vines), he will take care of you. They have gone above and beyond to take care of me with service and prices while aquiring parts for my swap.

I ordered a euro chrome front bumper center section and it got here fast, cheap, and is in great condition! I'm not sure what happened to you guys they seemed great to me

[M-technik-3]

Won't even look at there listings or sites, to many other decent places available.

[Vrbovan]

YES!!!!!!!!!! they suck dicks!!!!! I bought "euro smileys" from them for 300$ and they're the same shit as Ping-Chang sells in China town... effing garbage!

[//MPower]

Their ridiculous prices have always kept me away. I don't even know how they stay in business.

[CR325IS]

I have used these guys many times and recently bought a m20 engine from them. They havent dicked me and my engine....well lets just say its so clean I can eat off it!

[Lunner]

They suck in person too, believe me.

+1

I live so close to them I could walk if I had to get a part, and I still usually get it somewhere else. Reeeal bunch of dicks.

There's much better places to get parts in Rancho's recycling district. Like B&M&W, but you gotta be pretty firm+precise with them, I can imagine they've ripped people off before, haha.

They have tried to charge me more for parts than they cost new on multiple occasions. I mistakingly figured If I just needed a small part that I didnt want to ship I would go down there and pick one up for cheap. Like an intake boot that they tried to charge me $30 for when I can get a new one for $12. They are nothing but lowlife scammers.
