Your experience was better than mine. I called to order some clutch parts recently (I like to speak to someone if possible) and only got a machine. Oh well, went to the web site and ordered the parts but when I tried to complete the transaction it said I had an unrecognized address?? I live in a house that has had the same address for more than a hundred years!
It asked me if I'd like to continue with the order anyway but I declined. I don't want to order parts if they can't tell where to send them.
I called them again and got the answering machine again so I left a message explaining what happened and asked for a call back. Two days went by, no response.
I finally went through the online ordering process again and this time it went through. Ten days later I had my parts.
I'm glad you had the service you describe. Maybe my experience was not usual.
