Got a motor from this company through a third party marketing. Motor was locked from delivery. Big Top Auto don't want to give me my monies back. I sent two reports from two different mechanics; both mechanics said the motor is locked and the only way to determine is to break it down. Big Top Auto refuses to refund me nore are they cooperate with the marketers who sold the motor for them. Bad business.

I purchased a used engine from them back in Apr 2025 and they sent the wrong engine even though I provided the VIN to make sure engine matched car. I've been trying since April to get my refund from them and all I get is an we will call you back. I've been waiting on a callback since then. They even told me one time HR representative wasn't available and was gone for the day even though don't know what HR has to do with then refunding my money. The engine they sent it still sitting on the pallet they sent secured because I knew it was the wrong engine when first received it. I will never order anything from them but wanted to give them a shot. So be aware and if you have to pay before they shipped don't send it via Zelle or Cashapp because they won't refund the money to you. I've reached out the Illnois Attorney General recently about the matter.
