[DeTomaso] DB electric starter bites the dust

[Jerry Knotts]

Boyd,

I had a problem with one of their starters hanging up and ruining a 
battery.  They sent another starter and I had it installed.  It lasted 
less than a week.  I called and ask if they had found the problem with 
the first starter and they explained it wasn't worth the trouble and 
they just throw the defective starters away.  I called again and 
explained that I was displeased with their products and wanted them to 
pay for a starter R&R after I had purchased a rebuilt at AutoZone.  They 
said no.  I said I was displeased with their customer service and they 
said I should shop elsewhere.  They did refund the original price of the 
starter after I returned the defective one.

You would think at my age I would understand you rarely get what you pay 
for and almost never get more.
