Terrible first experience. Site was easy to use and find the part I needed. Order was straightforward but the part was damaged. The supplier isn't responding, and 1st Choice doesn't want anything to do with it. There either needs to be better vetting of suppliers or more robust ways to help a buyer.

1st choice spares did find a firm selling the item that I wanted. However when the item arrived ir was not as as described by Ted @ACD, it had been broken and self repaired very poorly. This after emialing with specific questions on the state of the item and was told they did not send out damaged goods. When ACD failed to respond to my request for a refund and to return the item, on 1st Choice give feedback was a box was there a problem with the transaction. They too did not respond So much for your money is safe with 1st choice they are not interested in the poor punter obiviously I will never use 1st Choice again neither ACD

I purchased a 1596cc Ford C-Max engine - Petrol, bare (No Ancils) from Ford Spare Parts Ltd. It had quite clearly been left outside for a considerable time with little or no cover.

1st choice seems ok but their retailer ‘ScottYard’ is awful. Do not buy anything from ‘ScottYard’ ever. They purposefully supplied the wrong part, despite me having double checked the part number with them in advance. They then took ages to send a returns label and even longer to make the refund once the part had been returned. Terrible service.

Ordered and paid for a 307 seat belt expecting it to arrive in a couple of days. 1 week later and I still haven't had it and I contact the garage to be told I cant just expect them to send it and that I have to phone them. Now this is a new one on me. They don't even pist it that day I have to wait fir them to post it the following Monday afternoon. When I get it its as rusty as he'll. I just cannot believe anyone would think it's fair to send this out to a customer to use on a car. The buckle is really really rusty. Im not sure it will even pass its MOT until later today

If you would like us to review the supplier's rating then please leave us a message here: https://www.1stchoice.co.uk/contact The nature of recycled spares is that they are not always available. If after checking your emails or texts, you do not receive many quotes first time round, it's likely your parts were not available on that day. With over 150 Breakers nationwide however, between them they are processing literally hundreds of additional vehicles every day. So if you have not found the parts you need, you can log back into the site and re-send your request automatically. All the best Customer Care - 1st Choice.
