The gearbox had two of the mounting bolts snapped off in the bell housing, a pig of a job drilling them out. The unit was the most expensive of the 3 that I was offered and I chose it because it had a 6 month warrenty. They told me the gearbox had had a minor refurb, bearings etc, but surely if they were doing that they would have noticed the two brocken off bolts.

I have used 1st choice for many years with excellent results, but my last purchare has not arrived after being ordered 14 days ago. The problem seems to be with DHL but none seems to give me any answers. The vehicle is out of use awaiting this headlamp

I bought a full wheel I needed just the alloy but I was sent the wheel as that was only available but then they told me it’s 96 pounds with delivery for a Nissan micra wheel with tyre. As I didn’t have time I said sure but when I received it was bent I am kinda disappointed as the wheel was bent as I was buying one cause the old was bent. 96 pounds for a wheel with bent alloy isn’t right

Not impresed, placed enquiry for two doors, recived responce, paid the money, goods didnt arrive, called 3 days later to be told they would refund the money as thet didnt have the doors. Tried enquiry again, recived responce, paid the money, doors arrived a week late both were dinted and scratched where they had put them on the pallet facing each other with nothing inbetween for £1200-00 I expected a lot better condition, BEWARE !!!

Ordered a part (door) from derby spares ,it came badly dented and not what the picture of the car looked like. They contacted me to say they would give me back the postage and its not a new door. Iv heard nothing else from them or received any payment back. Won't be using this site again.

Having ordered the part I received photos of the part but I didn’t realise I had to confirm this was the correct item this resulted in a delay and the part wasn’t available anymore but they had another one which i confirmed and waited for delivery. Unfortunately the next thing I received was a refund So I still need the part which I shall have to pursue when I return from holiday

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 widely 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.

I bought and paid for a spare wing mirror. When I queried when it was arriving or where it was, I was informed it had been sold to some else because I had not answered a message relating to the part.

I have finally received the oil pump I ordered 3 weeks ago. I guess the issue was with the company Ecoparts out of Hinckley, whose correspondence was woeful. I had to repeatedly ask for a tracking number which I finally had 3 days after DHL tried to deliver it unsuccessfully as I was away, hence the request for the tracking.

I was sent the wrong part even though it was specified online and verbally on the phone. I returned the part at my cost and was only partially refunded. So I paid postage twice. I had to chase the refund.

The company that supplied part sent it incomplete which did arrive the next day. Contacted them and they said they would send a replacement and they would collect the incomplete one. Waited three days and nothing. Contacted them and they said they tried to contact me ( no missed calls on my phone). They refunded the money. So have to try and find part elsewhere
