Used Parts Sold as New, Late Delivery, and Zero Support — My Experience with Alvadi
I rebuilt my VW 2.0 TSI engine and ordered a large batch of parts from Alvadi, expecting the higher‑quality brands they advertised to justify choosing them over local suppliers. Instead, the entire experience has been a headache.
After paying $530 for express shipping, the order still arrived 5 days late. When I opened the timing chain kit, I was shocked to find the balancer gear was clearly secondhand, tossed loosely into a half‑opened box. It didn’t stop there—two of the chain guides didn’t even fit, with the bolt‑hole spacing noticeably shorter than the original parts. This was after they confirmed fitment using my VIN.
Trying to get support was another ordeal. It took multiple attempts just to get a response, and when they finally replied, it was nothing but excuses. After a long back‑and‑forth, they eventually promised to replace the used and incorrect parts with the new ones I had paid for. That was over a month ago, and I still haven’t received anything—not the parts, not an update, not even a courtesy reply.
Overall, the experience has been extremely disappointing: late shipping, used parts sold as new, incorrect components despite VIN confirmation, and customer service that disappears once they’ve taken your money. I wouldn’t recommend ordering from them based on what I’ve gone through.
