“1st Choice Spares offer a great service to avoid excessive costs on parts for older cars. In my case, it was an alloy wheel for a Range Rover Sport. Finding the part was easy and quick, and the response of the specific breaker for the part was great. The only reason for not giving a 5-star review was the courier/logistics of delivery. The service paid for was a next-day delivery but it was the 3rd day before the wheel was delivered. The issue was with the courier process.”
“Dreadful service .
Part supplied by Foreign Car Spares was not only incorrect but looks like it`s been stored underwater for months.
Told them immediately it was wrong , couldn`t have cared less .
Spent 2 weeks on daily phone calls trying to get refunded.
1st Choice act as brokers so not particularly influential in helping THEIR customer get his money back”

“After failing to find a vital part for my Hyundai - even local dealers didn't have one in stock - I tried 1st Choice Spares and was delighted with the result. At least 5 companies offered to supply the part and all at a price considerably below that asked by Hyundai dealers. I choose one supplier from the list presented and received the item promptly and in good condition. Excellent service from both 1st Choice Spares and Bury Recycle Motor Spares.”
“got a back axle for a berlingo van it took a while to source the right one but thanks to your team chasing it up for me we got the right one, especially, Matt who dealt with me in a pleasant and professional manner”

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.

“Really quick and easy to use, I wasn't bombarded with follow up emails. I ordered the part from the lowest priced supplier and it arrived a few days later. I'd certainly use 1st Choice again”
“Needed a part for my '07 plate Citroen C3 so went straight to 1st Choice spares as they have never let me down before and this time was no different.....i had a quote within minutes that was a great price, followed quickly by a phonecall from the breakers. I bought the part, they said it would be with me the next day and it was...Fantastic service all round!!”
“Quite satisfied with the service. Part was securely packaged, arrived promptly, and was the correct part. But the part didn't work! No quibbles from Silverdale about refunding the money, so I have no complaints.”
“I have purchased parts from two different suppliers. I have paid for them yet two weeks later I still await delivery of the purchased parts. I will not use this service again.”

“An excellent service. Whilst it may take a while to get all of the quotes back from the approved "1st Choice" suppliers, the best things come to those who wait. One contractor was able to supply the part, at a fraction of the cost of the others.”
