I mistakenly ordered 2 tires from Autoplicity awhile back and then tried to cancel one of them cuz I already had a new one on the car and just wanted a matching set. They couldn't cancel the one tire and said they take care of me once I got the tires in. Did they ever ! The clerk just told me to keep the tire and they would refund the charges less shipping for the other tire. So I decided to just order another one and pay for it cause I really want to show my personal appreciation for a business that wants to connect with a customer like this and establish a good reputation. So now, if someone I know needs a tire, this is the place I would highly recommend them to go. Autoplicity is now my new & future "go to" place for tires. Thank you again for a wondeful experience I won't ever forget.

GREAT PRICE!! FAST SHIPPING

Great price!

Its plastic thought it was metal

You did good. Free shipping would be better

Great prices and VERY fast shipping

Shipping was very fast especially being that it was free - I also saved $200 on the tires vs anywhere else that I could buy them. Very happy with my purchase.

Best price for product and free shipping. Win-Win.

Easy so far. Hope for fast grounds shipping

Overall good. Coupon use is a bit clumsy.

OK, but shipping cost not determined until after processing to paypal.

Shipping is too expensive.

Thanks for a hard to find part!

As expected...

Easy to use web site and check out

did not see if delivery would be Wed July 22?

great price on product and shipping and shipping was very fast

So far so good.

First time that I have tried Autoplicity. Best price on the brand/part that I really wanted. Fast turnaround, and they have great customer service. Will use again. Highly recomend!

I ordered a Thule 872XT 44" Fairing from them because they had the best deal on a new one and their shipping was fair. I live on Long Island N.Y. and got my order in 2 days! I did not expect the fast shipping but i am very thankful for it! I received an email when i paid, when my order shipped and then when my order was delivered to my door. I never heard of this online vendor until i was searching for the Thule but they had very positive reviews so i had little to lose. I will look to them first for future needs. A+!

Please let me know when shipment is delivered. Thank you.

I recently ordered the clover patch for my new 2012 Jeep Wrangler. The price for Autoplocity was the best I could find on the web and their shipping fees were also very affordable. I received my confirmation emails promptly and I was able to track the status of my order very easily. I enjoyed my experience ordering off of Autoplicity and I am likely to purchase additional products for my jeep off this site.
