DC Automotive

I plan to buy a used front suspension cross member from DC Automotive. Is this a good company to deal with?

do a search for "dCAutomotive" (no space) in OT, you'll find some interesting feedback.

DC has a good rep with Metro NY PCA members, myself included.

Some of the NoVA gang apparently still have a grudge over an issue from last year. Everyone else, myself included, consider Robert and the dC Auto operation to be a class act. Have completed many successful transactions and Robert has gone out of his way to help me many times over the last year or so.

I can vouch for them as well. I never bought anything major but whenever I needed something Rob always came through.

I have bought several things from them in the past few weeks, and will need a few more things before completing my Turbo conversion. Robert seems to be a good guy has been very helpful and honest with me.

other than them having high prices, they are good to deal with.

He's fine.....someone had an issue with him and it was due to DMV being jerkoffs.....which is redundant. You can't please everyone all the time. It was resolved.....

I have had more than a few transactions with Robert and they have been satisfactory.

I've never dealt with them. He asked for feedback, and that thread has it, both good and bad.

I've bought a lot of parts from Robert over the past couple of years and I continue to do so today. He knows his stuff and he alway's has time to answer any questions that I have.

DC Auto is the first place I alway's go to when I need something. I'm very satified with them.

Rob is a butcher! butcher butcher butcher..... he takes nice cars and parts them out , just for a bump in the front or a worn interior, and bam its parts! he answers the phone with a laugh, and sez sure i got that, how many you want, prices it fair, and ships it faster than hanging up the phone, hell he even combines it all into a road trip and sends his guy from NC to NH in pickemup, that bassderd is ok! been doin biz wit him fer years....stand up guy.

DC Should I buy from them?

DC has been a professional organization with the multiple dealings I have had with them. They truly want to keep your wheels rolling ...not just take your money.

Far above the central/north Georgia source.
