I wanted to provide a warning to anyone dealing with AFC and Mike Mermelstein. I'd been talking with him for a couple weeks back in October and he seemed very knowledgeable and answered the phone whenever I called. I finally placed my order about 6 weeks ago and he ran my credit card for the full amount for parts he told me were in stock and ready to ship. After a week I received a few items then nothing. I called and he said the rest would be on the way and he'd provide tracking. A few days later I received a few more items (some weren't as nice as he described, but he said he'd reduce the price or take them back). Now it has been several weeks and I haven't received the remaining parts I paid for and he will not answer the phone, return calls, emails, or texts to his "personal cell". Recently his voicemail's been full so it won't accept any new messages.
I only received about half of my order and finally contacted my credit card company to dispute the charges.
I also sent him a date correct front alternator cover to build an alternator for me and I don't expect to see it again if recent events are an indication.
After a quick Google search, it seems there are other forums with warnings about AFC and Mike Mermelstein. Although my issue is not resolved, I thought I would warn other members of these questionable business practices.
