Purchased an engine through your site. Engine was no good and had to scrap the car after spending £1300 on labour. Got a partial refund for the engine but I’m still heavily out of pocket.

Apart from sending the wrong colour of part after I sent a photo of the part required and the colour. Your after sales service is shocking. Asked about your return policy for the part and received an Email stating “You’ve got 2 weeks to return it” no other information

I bought fuel pipes and when I received them they were corroded. I did contact the seller who didn't respond or acknowledge they had sold faulty parts

If I could give them no stars I would . I ordered a part from A&C Spares Auto Salvage, The only E-mail I had about the part was, that it had been paid for. There was nothing to say that it had been dispatched, no tracking number and no delivery company name. After waiting 3 weeks for delivery of the part I phoned A&C spares, the delivery company didn't know where the part was. As I had no proof of the part being sent I expected a refund, which I have not received from A&C Spares. If this is the sort of company 1st Choice represents, then I certainly will not be using them again.

Chose the lowest quote for a replacement manual gearbox for a Citroen Picasso Installed professionally with new clutch and flywheel but Ist gear not engaging properly. This has proved very dangerous at junctions forcing me to cut my losses and sell the car losing £1500 in the process. The warranty was meaningless as labour costs to remove the faulty gearbox would far outweigh the price initially paid .p

They still have not prepared the part that I paid for over a week ago. They won’t even let me go to their site and pick it up. They have wasted a lot of my time and I am a taxi driver. This is very poor service and I am not happy at all.

Had nothing but trouble with the company’s off this, first one sent out the wrong engine and still waiting on a refund, second one was meant to have the engine delivered 3-4 days ago and still hasn’t arrived therefore I won’t get my car back before Christmas, I will not recommend anyone to this website to get any car parts in the future
