I have also been scammed by these w*****s. Check their T&C’s and make your own mind on whether they are condusive to distance selling regulations regading the type of product they offer. My feel on this operation and its suppiers is they have a huge stock of unusable parts waiting for the right client to pop along, then are happy to off load this s**t with no conscience. Their customer services, er (customer non-services) doesn’t exist, just some bloke named David Pratt, I think fobbing you off. Keep passing the word so as to reduce the number of other poor unsuspecting purchasers getting “ripped off” These idiots will be the end of buying used parts on the internet.

1st Choice Spaces (or First Choice Spares) are one of the worst companies I have ever ever dealt with. Stupid inexperienced idiots. One step above a baby in intelligence. As my claim is still going through I’ll not bother with exact details. I’d rather people found this and avoided them than use them though, so I commented.

Good luck if you still use them though, you’ll need it.

1st choice spares, first choice spares, 1st choice, 1st spares, 1st.

Bad service also from Sunrise Car Spares! Supplied a faulty part (airbag had already been activated!) and will not acknowledge receipt of it being returned – therefore will not give us a refund. I think this firm preys on innocent people. They send out a faulty part, but you can’t establish it’s faulty until a mechanic has time to fit it – and then you have had it more than 48 hours – so first choice are not interested. The firm don’t advise you to return it by recoreded delivery (what is the point as it’s faulty) and then they refuse to see if they have recieved it and refuse a refund. It makes car repairs very expensive as you have to pay out twice. DON’T ORDER FROM SUNRISE CAR SPARES!

After being assured twice that the part available from French breakers was in good order , it arrived with one part missing altogether (broken off ) and the inernal workings worse than the one i was looking to replace. all emails to first choice have been ignored and I refuse to be ripped off further by paying their premium phone line charges in order to contact them. BUYER BEWARE when using this service. I will never use or reccomend it again.

Recently ordered a part via 1st Choice from Andover Car Spares. Paid for it by cheque, never arrived, and no reply to email. All phone numbers inaccessible. Criminals of course but what can you do? 1st Choice doesn’t reply either, in spite of supplying a feedback form online.

easy jap parts and first choice are a pack of idiots. none of them should be trading. iv paid for a part which i dont have and cant get my momey back off them. i did recieve one part which was in a worse state than the part we took off. had to pay another 20 pound to return it to them. am fed up of calling them. just keep telling me a load of shit. why is it so difficult to put the money back on my card.
