Default WARNING Rami Transmission aka ebay seller Rami5566.718

If you need a new transmission and you have seen this company on-line.........

Do not do it! I cannot express my feelings enough! Just do not allow Rami Transmissions, e-bay seller Rami5566.718, aka YS&D Engine to supply you with a remanufactured (suposedly) transmission. If you live within walking distance of the shop them perhaps you have a chance in hell of receiving satisfaction. Unfortunately If you are using them via the internet to provide you with a replacement transmission then prepare to be ripped off!

The deceit and dishonesty runs throughout this FAMILY operation. Do some research and you will find that there are a number of unsatisfied customers. The 5 star reviews are from the family members themselves! I only wish that I had done a bit more due dilegence when researching this sham of an operation. Look at Kudzu.com 5 star review from ykadoch ! this is the e-mail address for the company! HAHA Check out showmelocal all bad reviews. I just wish I had done more homework before purchasing from them 3000 miles away.

All family members are obviously trained in the ways that they operate. I have not found one honest person on the other end of the phone yet. Rami, Amir, the wife, etc. All well versed in the art of telling you exactly what you want to hear with out ever delivering.

They knew all the right things to say on the phone, and seemed very knowledgable on the transmission issues. Remanufactured transmission with 2 year warranty (HAHAHA) with free torque converter and in line filter available for reasonable price! I took the hook! Initial purchase and shipping happened very quickly, But the transmission they supplied had issues from the start! Troubleshooted the problems directly with Rami! Thought it may have been a selenoid or something on my end. Replaced selenoids. This was never the problem. Rami finally says..............I will send you a replacement! Dont believe him!

At this point I am thinking its just my luck, but I do not want to belive I am being scammed. 2 months later............... excuse after excuse, need to wait for a core to rebuild one (what about my core that I returned that you never credited my account the $450.00 for the core refund?) Oh we just rebuilt three, waiting for the dyno to check. OK all 3 are good sending today. Wait wait , call for tracking number. Given bogus number. Call shipping company..........NO we never had a pick up for you!. Oh now Dyno is broken waiting for Dyno repair to test. OK, wait wait wait. OK here is pick up number xxx using new shipper. I call shipper! Oh yeah we have pick up scheduled, But we do not even deliver to California! WTF! This is over a period of several weeks where they dodge your phone number. I am now only getting thru by using friends cell phones from out of state numbers!! OMG then the numerous hang ups on me and the promisses to call back. And all of this is using “God willing” and other just rediculous comments that try to allude to the fact that they are somehow honest! HAHAHA

So in short! Do some more research! These people are scam artists. Luckily my Credit Card company agrees and I did not wait to long to start the restitution process, but these people are crooks and should not be allowed to prey on people on the internet. I am actually happy at the outcome now, because even if they had come thru somehow in the end I would not ever trust the transmission that they would have shipped to me so good riddance RAMI TRANSMISSIONS!

PS Rami transmissions..............its been over a week and I havent received the return phone call you promised “on your word” to return that day!

Thanks for the warning. Scammers really suck. Have you contacted the Better Business Bureau?

Wouldn't blame him, wondering how much the tranny cost.

BBB has been notified! It was a 1150 dollar transmission with a 450 core that was never credited and a 350 shipping bill. I am just trying to spread the word so this does not happen to others, or that at least everyone does a bit more research before pulling the trigger. And I purchase things for large amounts all over the internet and have never been scammed. I love the delivery to my door with no tax. A few hours of my time posting to review sites and owner forums makes me feel like I am somehow helping others!

Droopy! I am glad your seeing it elsewhere, my method is working!

Looks like the OP is inviting a defamation suit from Rami, be careful, its happening more and more these days....not worth it from the type of character you're describing!

Not to mention that suggesting tax fraud in the open is foul too.....

No defamation at all. nothing untrue here. No tax fraud either. If the entity does not have a presence in the state that you are located in there is no tax required.

lol, for what its worth in case you get audited, yes it is. You're required to pay it on your return as a use tax. Part of the reason why states are going broke....

Thanks for the warning. But you couldn't find a shop to repair, rebuilt, or replace a tranny for $1500 close to you?

but my point is you DID eventually get scammed.

in my opinion those conveniences are not worth the risk.

sorry you were scammed tho.
