Event Coverage Big B auto?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by thechondro, Apr 4, 2014.

  1. So about ten years ago I bought a pair of valve covers when I was around 20 years old from a booth at the pomona swap meet in pomona California from a company called big B auto. It was supposed to fit a ford FE 390. The guy said it will for sure fit and if it doesn't you can send it back with the receipt and we will refund you. Red flag!But I was a naive kid, and did not question him. It didn't fit and I sent it back with the receipt and never got a response. Am I the only one who has dealt with this problem? If not, I'll consider it a loss and think of it as an expensive kid lesson.

    If you waited ten years for your refund, it's time to move on. If you waited ten years before sending them back and excepted a refund you really need to rethink doing business with anyone.

    In about ten years .....

    Big B does not exist any longer. It has changed names/hands etc in the last 10 years.
     
  7. If you send me fifty bucks I promise I'll get Mr. B to do the right thing.

    If this is the only time in ten years that you took it up the yazoo on parts, you're in good shape.. nobody thinks you're a homo it's time to let go...
