Elite Auto Parts Company

Purchased a used ECU from Rick and Elite almost two years ago and it’s still running strong in my 92 Jaguar XJS. The part which was pretty expensive everywhere I looked, was very competitively priced and came with a 90 day warranty. Fast forward to this summer when I spent an arm and a leg trying to get the car in top running condition. The last thing I wanted to do was spend more money after a costly tune up, new AC compressor install and a bit more. The brakes are acting up and my mechanic tells me that I’m going to need a new ABS pump. I look online and the prices for a used part from private parties are ridiculous with no warranty. I call Rick and his guys again and of course they have one but also at a great price with a tremendous 6 month warranty! Unfortunately upon install, the part starts to sizzle and smoke and my mechanic advises me to not install this part. To make a long story short, although it took some time, Rick was a man of his word and gave me the full refund on the part. Will definitely be doing business with him again as my Jag isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Great priced parts and honest business.

Well where do I start… as much as I would have loved to believe that some of the other reviews were authentic But I have my reservations and think they are fake. In October I bought a vehicle from here and Rick initially helped me out. Long story short nothing he said was proven to be truthful regarding the condition of the car, registration and the list goes on
and I learned the hard way after purchasing that this man was not the person he portrayed himself to be or the person spoken of in most of these reviews. When trying to resolve multiple issues with Rick I was dodged, lied too and ignored for months. Luckily Keith who works there had integrity and clearly cared about the business more than owner and stepped up to the plate to keep things under control because it was going to get really bad. In a nutshell Keith was the only person at this shop who was professional, communicative, honest, direct and worked really hard to ethically resolve many issues that was going on. He constantly followed up and most importantly followed through with agreements, contracts and so fourth. Tbh the 3 stars are because of Keith, if it wasn’t for Keith’s professionalism this would have gone south a while ago. To date Keith has been proactive and most of the things are resolved with my vehicle. I am super grateful for him! Thanks ! My advice is if you have to absolutely deal with this place just deal directly with Keith to make sure you don’t get screwed. Otherwise avoid this place and drama at all costs. …

Costumer service should be a priority. Just because someone is not wearing their nicest outfit or buying your most expensive product does not mean they are not worth your time. I felt ignored and not worth their time simply because the part I was looking for was small and under $ 30. Other than that everything was fine

First Thank to Rick and the family
was a year ago
Was very impressive about the part and service, not only they are make sure the part are fit correctly. even have this Land Rover Radiator inspection by out source Radiator shot high pressure test and have it delivery to British car clinic, by Paid for the price of a third of re-​core by Santa Monica Radiator cost $ 500.00 or New OEM Radiator — V8 — Genuine Land Rover about $ 989.00+ and this only a solution for Now!
About two years ago buy a transfer case for the same Land Rover, still running Awesome after 50,000 miles. must say not only that they are Warranty the part for 30 days money back or replace for other … this are not common for pre own or use part.

I have bought a couple cars from Rick Diament, the owner. He is incredibly fair with the price, and services the car like a top rated dealer would, and warrantees it for months. He trades in top quality parts that are completely checked first. If you are fair with him, he often gives you are part for nothing, and never forgets to do the right thing. He cares about doing the right thing for your car; his knowledge of English cars is of an old English Jaguar mechanic. His employees are hard working and have great respect for him. Everyone works like maniacs. His father that passed away, and left him the business is smiling from above.

Woah!!! Amazed good deal place to shop for your parts.
Rick is such a good customer oriented person and will make sure you are happy.
Definitely recommended

I was recommended to Elite and I am very glad that I was.
I met Rick and explained what I was looking for and what I needed the parts for (I am working on a restoration project so it wasn’t a straightforward request). Rick was great, he had what I needed, he was helpful, polite and very professional.
Within 15 minutes of my arrival I had found what I needed, I had paid a fair price and my parts were loaded into my car.
I would recommend Elite and Rick to anyone that asked. I will be back to get the parts I need as my project rolls on.

Everything you could possibly need for a Land Rover! Great place to find those little plastic buttons that break or even bigger engine parts too! Keep in mind it is basically a salvage/​junk yard and not a proper store, so you may be getting dirty!

Absolutely top notch service! My first interaction was when looking on Craigslist for an Alfa Romeo Spider for my wife as a fun-​second car. This review is a two-​parter.
#1 the intro and sale–
This is when I met Rick. He was a straight shooter and very honest. He had a great black 86′ Spider Veloce. We bought the car for a very fair price and loved it for about a year till the wife stacked it on the 23.
#2 Alfa number two and the restoration–
Liking the car so much we were determined to get another one and this time restore it. We found a great all-​original 82′ and 99% of what I needed to restore the car I found at Elite. They were very accommodating and even ending up painting the car. Now the car is fully restored and makes the car show rounds, Last year we drove it from Malibu to show at Concorso Italiano in Monterey. It turns heads everywhere we go, even when flanked by Ferrari’s & Lambo’s.
Bottom line-​If you need Alfa, Jag, Mini or Range Rover parts and don’t want to get shafted by dealer prices this is your spot. They are knowledgeable about the marques they specialize in and honest period.

Rick and Keith are awesome! Anything you need for your Jag, RR, older BMW… go see these guys. Knowledgeable and fair. I don’t give reviews lightly, but those who deserve them — get them.

I don’t write Unilocal reviews as much as I should, but for these guys, I had to made an exception. The owner of the shop Rick is a down-​to-​earth, no BS type of guy. For me, that’s HUGE in this industry because my car is getting older (150,000 mi plus), and it seems like every time I go to the dealer to get something fixed, they charge me hundreds of dollars for random parts/​services. It’s a big relief to have a guy who I can trust in the auto industry. I’d highly recommend these guys – ask for Rick!

This guy guarantees his parts, unlike most other salvage yards. Excellent service & price. Will definitely be going back here!
