America's Pride is no more. When you click on their website, it now comes up National Auto Tools. And guess what? Just for fun, I placed an order for a single stage transmission jack. I waited over three weeks for something that was suppose to ship in two days. I heard the ever popular "the container is being held by US Customs" line AGAIN. Same deal, different name. Buyer beware. I am going to Greg Smith Equipment for this jack. I do not recommend these people as I think it's just the same stuff all over. My opinion. Update: I have recieved my new transmission jack from Greg Smith and it seems to be just what I need. I did notice on their site that they have a drawing of a sinking ship that has "America's Pride" as it's name! What a joke. They also have the parting comment from America's Pride in which the bank has seized control of all their assets. Thank GOD I got out when I did. And as for National, they DID send my refund check as they said they would. <strong></strong><strong></strong></p> Well, surprise. America’s Pride is no more.

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:15:54 +0000 http://pontiacparadise.com/shoptalk/2007/10/25/ordering-a-two-post-lift/#comment-6 Hi Les, You are right, i had a similar experience. Ordered a four post lift on September 19, with a promised delivery date of October 25. On October 12, I received an e-mail stating that the lift would be delayed at least 30 days. long story short, after numerous phone calls and e-mail, with only one response, I could not get a firm date of delivery. Fearing that the company was in trouble, I cancelled the order on October 16th. Here it is November 14 and I still do not have a refund on my credit card. What a horrible experience and a very non responsive company to deal with. Make you wonder what would happen if you had a problem with one of their lifts? I would not recommend them for a purchase.
