“Warranty of no use and inferior product”

Mike C.
2/2/20

Purchased Audi Avant rear wiper motor which started to leak after 10 months even though it was used very little. Warranty is useless as they then require an ever growing list of unrealastic conditions to deter the claim. The product itself was of inferior quality and besides developing a leak after only a couple of thousand miles was excessively noisy. Do not do business with them.

Ordered a used crossmember for ford escape. Suppose to be 3 to 8 day delivery, waited 15 days before i called about it. Got a song and dance about delay on part, then they said had the part sitting wrapped up ready to ship to me.(thursday) waited till monday Nada was told Fed x was on holiday and was not shipping nothing shipped and no info by wed. Still waiting for refund. Doubt i will ever see that money again... BEWARE! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!

Verified purchase

Have used this company a while ago for a couple of VW driveshafts which we're good, so I then ordered a wheel bearing for an insignia which fitted fine but the bolts we're to long, not a problem let them no & put the old one's in. So I decided to go to them for top mounts & bearings for my wife's Kuga, they we're fitted with new shocks & brake discs & pads (September), after 3 wks suspension noises started the car had barely done 90 miles, can't be top mount bearing there new, left as to cold & no money, suspension started snatching so got some cash but to busy so dropped it off to a friend of a friend mechanic to look at (march), phoned me 2hrs later to say wrong top mounts & bearings, he ordered me the proper one's which I fitted myself low and behold totally different, now as quite as a mouse & one's from these jokers fell to bits had been on 6 months & 673 miles as was to scary to use & no money, mechanic said would of been noisy straight away if I'd left old discs on as was all out of line.
Seems to have happened before see other review, it's only cost me £140,60 labour from mechanic & 40 new parts + £40 for wrongly supplied parts but could cost you more, expecting the wasn't fitted by mechanic excuse even though I'm 52 & been working on my own cars & motorbikes since 16, go to euro parts or gsf etc at least if given the wrong part they'll exchange it or give money back.
Yep want a mechanic report as I guessed just go somewhere else.

Avoid this company at all costs. Sales man Jason has the morals of a $#*!e house rat. Don't be under any allusion they are not trust worthy.

Never do business with these people. NEVER! They don't answer their phone, they answer your emails, your chat request or phone messages. My car sat for 11 days as I waited for the part I ordered even though they promised three day shipping.

This place is a nightmare!

Bought an airflow meter from them and after a week got fault codes etc implausible signal. Told them that i would return for a refund after christmas and sent it recorded delivery. They now say its over 14 days since purchase and wont refund me.
And if i want the faulty part back ill have to pay them postage.
Who wants a faulty part back! I want my money back.
What happened to customer service and a years warrenty!
Steer clear rubbish products and company go else wher there stuff is cheap for a good reason

The part I ordered arrived damage (very badly packed, which they admitted after I sent photos of packaging).

Promised to replace but they never sent. I contacted them perhaps 20+ times by phone and email. Can never speak to the manager (he has a permanent lunch break) and he will not email or phone me back EVER.

I finally gave up. Spent hours just trying to get a £30 part replaced, in the end I couldn't deal with the rudeness, incompetence and complete lack of service.

DO NOT USE EVER.

Bought a window regulator for my freelander there advert says 2 year warranty, it lasted around 3 months despite being a rear one and barely used, they would not honour a warranty claim because my business headed paper like most small businesses was created via a word document. I gave them my vat number as obviously anyone can make a word document, and gave them my website address, i have been in the motor trade for 31 years and owned a garage for 11 years and never had problems with claims before so would avoid this company selling sub standard components, communications where also very poor.

*please note outcome comment after initial complaint.

I ordered a flange tool to do my cars brakes pre-mot.
Aware that today (good friday) was a holiday i phoned them at 9am thursday morning to make sure that if i ordered something it would get to me today. The bloke i spoke to was unsure so went off to ask. He rang me back minutes later to say "yes, if you order now it will be with you friday" so i stressed i was happy to pay extra for definite next day delivery.

So i wait in today, and wait and wait. Fearing the worst i ring them back at 4:01 only to catch them locking up for the day (phew). I enquire about the order to be told in a rather 'cant be bothered' manner that the guy i spoke to obvisously got confused as no couriers were working today. I stress how cross i am as i now can't do the brake lines over the weekend as planned. He wasn't bothered and didn't even apologise for the error stating i probably won't receive it until tuesday now. So i waste a whole day that had i known i wouldve gone and bought it elsewhere but now its too late anyway!

So when it does arrive im sending it straight back and taking my business elsewhere as you all should.

What a bunch of slapshod munters! Im really annoyed, with the mot on wednesday it gives me one business day to buy a tool, some copper pipe and fittings and do the work!

If you are happy to deal with a company that has no respect for the accuracy of the parts they sell or you when you have a problem with them, this is the company for you.

THIS COMPANY HAVE A WARRANTY DEPARTMENT WHICH IS OFFSITE, THERE ARE NO CONTACT DETAILS FOR THEM, THEY ONLY CONTACT VIA EMAIL AND DELAY REPLIES UNTIL THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER, SO THEY ARE NOT THEN RESPONSIBLE FOR REFUNDING. ITEMS OF POOR QUALITY FAILING SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE.

RECOMMEND TO GO ELSEWHERE FOR YOUR CAR PARTS.
