  • No contact email address visible on the page; only a phone number provided (typical for B2B wholesale suppliers).
  • Original Kansas entity filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2017, though current Texas LLC appears to be a separate, operational entity.
  • Limited review volume on aggregator sites (only 2 an independent review aggregator reviews with 2.9/5 average), though this is common for wholesale suppliers targeting repair professionals rather than retail consumers.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on etechparts.com and not a lookalike like e-techparts.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on etechparts.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • etechparts.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 80/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. etechparts.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 46 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • etechparts.com is 18.2 years old, registered on 4/1/2008 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. etechparts.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • etechparts.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 18, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around etechparts.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
