Canadians - Cap-it issues

I just wanted to put my experience about Cap-it on here for others.

 

I was in the Cap-it store in Regina Saskatchewan a few months ago and was rather unimpressed with the customer service. I walked in to check out some side steps and lights for my truck. There were 3 or 4 people behind the counter just talking amongst themselves. I wandered the store for about 10 minutes and not one person said a word to me. I left very disappointed with anyones customer service in that store.

 

Last week, I decided to order some Rigid lights and found they were on sale online and in stock at Cap-it. I figured I'd give the online store a chance since I didn't want to judge the entire company by 4 employees at one store. I placed my order last Friday, July 3rd. I received an order confirmation email and it said I will receive another email when the lights ship. Well it has been almost 1 week and I have not received this email. I have emailed them twice asking what is taking so long and have gotten no response at all. This is very close to the worst customer service I have ever experienced! It should not take 1 week to ship a product that is in stock. I expected to have the lights this weekend to install since I have time off.

 

The worst part is that I went down to the local auto parts store to order the fog light mounting brackets since Cap-it doesn't have those on their website. I ordered the brackets at 4:30pm on Monday, and they were ready for me to pick up at noon on Wednesday. I should've just ordered the lights through them as well, however I likely wouldn't have gotten the same price.

 

So for Canadians, I would recommend staying away from Cap-it.

 

Americans, I have always admired your customer service whenever I deal with purchasing products out of the states, or even when I visit south of the border, everyone is always so customer service oriented.

Well I finally got an email back from them today. Apparently the lights were shipped 2 days ago. I was suppose to receive a shipping confirmation email when they were shipped along with a tracking number. I never received any of this and they said they are going to look into it now. I'm still not too happy but at least I'm getting my lights!

I went into the Medicine Hat location and didnt have much luck either. I was looking for a grille insert that the website had but because the store didnt show it in the book they had they told me they didnt even sell that brand. I brought there website up on my phone and provided the guy at the counter with the part number and he couldnt find it on his computer. His attitude sucked so I just turned around and walked out. I ordered what I wanted on line from the USA and am happy with what I got. I like to shop local but I wont be going back there for anything.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

      I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
