In the past, I have always had excellent service. This time, I was very, very unlucky. The part that I needed was located and offered at a fair price in less than 24 hours. Sadly, just one digit mis-recorded on a card transaction and it was delayed by a fortnight! It was only when I "chased up" the delivery that the mistake was discovered. The promised return phone call was not made but it came good eventually.

I asked for a near side mirror and the many offers came for a right side with widely varying prices which I was unable to carefully choose between. Eventually, one supplier rang to discuss and slightly pressured me into buying with next-day delivery. When it arrived 4 days later I was unable to use it and returning it seems impractical.

Good system for sourcing used parts. Sadly the window motor suppled was not exactly the same as original and doesn’t work from the switch in rear but only the driver’s control. Having paid for a garage to fit this it isn’t cost effective to remove and return to the breaker’s who supplied it. Disappointed as they used car reg to identify the part needed.

The item eventually arrived a week after first ordering due to payment hiccup (over-phone payment that didn't go through probably due to mis-understood card no). I tested item before attempting to fit and proved it was faulty. Sent Jap Parts an email with short video explaining what test had failed but nothing heard back then, out of the blue another week+ later, a parcel arrived containing another part. I have fully tested it OK so I am confident it will work when I fit it. I had to do a temporary bodge job to temporarily get my car back on the road!

I had to offers of the spare wheel I needed. When I went to the 1st Choice website only the more expensive product was available for me to purchase online !!! So I had to ring French Spares Ltd to place my order. They were excellent. Product arrived the next day I will use them again.

Only one was found and this was lost by the courier so I still do not have the required spare

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 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. Customer Care - 1st Choice.

Happy with the purchase & the service. Unfortunately the order was cancelled and refunded by MIM as the courier lost the part

No problem with the service at all up to the point of receiving the engine. The price seemed fair and delivery was prompt. However, at no point during the purchase was I told that if I didn't need it and wanted to return it there would be a 30% surcharge, so when it turned out I didn't need it I was faced with losing a lot of money to send it back. The bloke I spoke to said they weren't required to explain terms and conditions over the phone and that they were all in the paperwork that came with the engine, but it's a bit late once you've bought it. Just be wary of this.

First choice was very quick in responding to my request, gave me a few people to contact, which I did, ended up buying a engine from The Engine Company for £1500 pounds, which arrived in around 4days, some items on the engine were missing or broken, was very disappointed with this, as nothing was mentioned at the time of purchase, then I find out The Engine Company, went into liquidation some time ago, why has 1st choice got them on the books, if they are not an up and running company.

The sourcing of the parts I required was fine however they turned out to be the incorrect parts and had to be returned for a refund. To date I am still waiting to hear from anyone regarding the refund although the tracked RM package returning the goods was successfully delivered a week ago

The web site is a good idea with plenty of choice. However, great caution when you order as the company I used via them was ****.

The service was good and had lots of interest. The company I went with was absolutely horrendous and had to cancel my order. It then took ages for them to give me my refund. I would not use foreign car spaces in Birmingham. STAY AWAY from them
