Thanks for your recent feedback. Saving money is our top priority however smaller items, after adding delivery costs, can sometimes make the price seem higher. It also depends on whether the parts are available and those in short supply, can sometimes come with a premium. We try to find the best price and it may be worth repeating a request, a day or two later. With over 150 Breakers nationwide processing hundreds of vehicles every day, it’s possible you’ll get a better price if you’d like to try again. All the best Customer Care - 1st Choice.

Rare part requested (speedo head), received 2 replies, one confirmed by phone as being correct version, with written confirmation of 3 month guarantee tested working. Tel chase twice elicited reply no working units available. I accept that they tried, thanks, - BUT why no decent communication from the supplier? Email & tel no supplied - neither was used to inform their customer.

The part i requested for mini car was not compatible for the car. I sent you a part number that would only fit the car but the numbers i received would not fit the car.

Thanks for your recent feedback. The nature of recycled spares is that they are not always available. If after checking your emails or texts, you do not receive any 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. Customer Care - 1st Choice.

Part did not arrive on day stated! Phoned to establish what the issue was? And was informed that the part was faulty so they needed to send another one but never informed me! Not great service 🙁

Had two recent conflicting experiences. Head light and power steering hose from one company. they were honest enough to tell me that once the power steering pipe had been removed it was too corroded for them to send for confidence use. so they just sent the headlamp and arrived when they said. The second company I ordered a gear box from on Tuesday 30th April and they said it would be with me by Thursday 2nd May, pre bank holiday. Thursday came and went, leaving people in work til 6pm. Fri I called them and they said they would chase the courier TNT. They said it was on its way and with me Friday. I had the car stripped down blocking a ramp and I had my neighbour watching out for the TNT delivery until 6pm. NO GEARBOX, Rang them Saturday they said they'd chase it and said they couldn't understand why TNT hadn't delivered it. It finally turned up Tuesday 7th May. The gear box had the usual scrapyard white markings but the give away was they'd put on the Gear Box 3/5/19. They'd lied to me. it wasn't even removed until the 3rd May. I was going to send a complaint to TNT about the late delivery.. good job I looked into it first.

After confirmation of parts availability payment details were taken. Three working days later was told part was faulty, I said "I only actually need this bit" and was told "too late the vehicle has been scrapped". Positive bit: no money was taken from my bank account.
