I ordered an engine from this company after being told it would be delivered the next day. Four working days later, I had received nothing — no delivery, no update, and I was unable to get through to any phone number despite repeated attempts. After chasing, someone eventually replied to say delivery was actually 3–5 working days. By this point it was already day four, and I was then promised it would be dispatched the following day at the latest. Another three days passed with no communication whatsoever. When I finally got through to a woman on the phone, she promised to call me the next day to confirm delivery. That call never came. Two days later I rang again and spoke to a man who informed me she doesn’t even work that day. He then said there was an engine waiting to be dispatched and it could be mine, and again promised a call the next day. No call. I rang yet again and was then told that the engine was not mine after all, and that my engine had an oil fault and would now take a further two weeks to send. At this point I asked for the order to be cancelled and refunded — and unsurprisingly, I am still waiting for that refund. This entire experience has been incredibly costly. My work van has been off the road, forcing me to hire a replacement, and my garage rearranged work while waiting for an engine that never arrived. The lack of communication, conflicting information, broken promises and failure to refund is completely unacceptable. Avoid this company. I would not recommend them to anyone.

I purchased two doors from Oldham salvage/ Fords 4 U via their site, unfortunately the seller failed to inform one of the doors was damaged. The seller agreed for me to return the door and refund me the full cost of purchase. The seller has failed to refund me and has made multiple excuses not to pay, it is a very stressful and disappointing experience.

We waited 3 weeks for our part. Confirmed that they had the correct part, we exchanged multiple emails. Only to be told 3 weeks later that they have lost the part. We have our car repair delayed by 3 weeks just because of incompetency of these people. Look elsewhere if you can.

Makes claims have parts in stock but don't so waste time until they confess they don't have it and have taken your money in false pretence

I have been using 1st choice for over 15 years but last time I bought 2 driveshafts from a scrap yard called A&C Auto salvage and it was a nightmare they lied to me for for almost 3 weeks I had to call over 10 times and every time I was hearing different stories even when I asked them for a refund when I told them if you can’t send the item then I should be entitled to a refund but instead they told me to go back where you come from and I have all of those recorded as a proof anyway in the end I was really disappointed because the site I have been using for a long time turned out to be full of fake scrap yards and scammers. 1st choice really should look at those who try to sale things on this site.
