I requested a parcel shelf for my Citroen C1 VTR (09 plate), and received quotes quickly ranging from reasonable to overpriced (in my opinion). I chose the lowest quote from A1 Allcars Ltd., which wa... See more

Great service through out the process
Great service through out the process. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.
Passat Tailgate
I was struggling to find part locally but easier down South. Call handler was helpful with details & pictures. Delivery was very fast & driver was very helpful. Had 1 slight issue but was resolved with no hassle. I’d recommend & happily use again.
Easy to use
Easy to use, got 4 offers of rare part. Part came next day with warranty. Recommend 1st Choice!

48hr Delivery took over a week
48hr Delivery took over a week to arrive and when they did arrive they were incorrect, even after they had my number plate and assured me they would.
Wouldn't use again £69 out of pocket, and the contact was rude when I asked avout the delivery

I ordered a part on the 5th December
I ordered a part on the 5th December, two weeks on and no delivery just a receipt that I had paid by email. I had to contact yourselves to chase up were my part was, as I had no email regarding the delivery time or date, it would arrive. I then emailed yourselves again to fund out were my part was, only to be told they had to send another one out. I was very dubious about this as if they had sent a part out, I would have received an email telling me that it had been despatched. Still awaiting the part not to sure wether I would use 1st choice again

Great at finding parts but then…poor
Great at finding parts but then nothing, my first order I was told 4 days after buying it that the part was broke so issued me with a refund (why it took 4 days when it was meant to be delivered within 3 days) so ordered another one to be told a week later that they lost the part so issued me with another refund. Went onto EBay and had one delivered in less than 24hrs

Very poor experience involving both…
Very poor experience involving both 1stChoice Spares UK and A+C Auto Salvage (UK) Ltd.
I placed and paid for an order through their platform and, after more than a week, received nothing — no delivery, no tracking number, no courier details, no proof of postage, and no estimated delivery date.
If a company takes payment, hosts the transaction, and presents suppliers on its website, it also has a responsibility to ensure basic standards of service, communication, and accountability.
I raised two complaints but received one-line messages; the seller will chase the courier, with no follow-up! Only after I mentioned contacting my credit card provider did a refund suddenly get offered via the supplier (A+C AUTO SALVAGE (UK) LTD), which raises serious concerns about whether the item was ever dispatched.
This was a frustrating and time-wasting experience involving poor communication and a complete lack of accountability from both the platform and the supplier. I would not use 1stChoice or deal with A+C Auto Salvage again.

Brilliant business model
Brilliant business model, efficient and expert and friendly service, wide selection of prices, and very speedy delivery. I've dealt with them several times and they've never let me down.
Brilliant response
Brilliant response. Three quotes took the first one. It was in Glasgow. They had the part for my renault captur. It was at my door in less than 24 hours. Will if needed use them again. Well done guys.
A very efficient company
A very efficient company. A phone call within the hour to verify everything and complete back axle arrived a few days later. Price and carriage very reasonable. Well done guys.
1st Choice Very Good
I've been using 1st Choice for some years now as we run a couple of older vehicles, service is always good and delivers are really quick and the people know what they are talking about, really very good, I would recommend 1st Choice to anyone.

They always manage to find the part I need,delivery always quick, thanks again
Providing pictures should be standard practice
Difficult to be sure you're buying a compatible part without requesting photos. On this occasion the yard couldn't confirm accurate colour (polar white). They didn't send me the clips as promised but I did receive a car seat with my bumper so I had an extra job disposing that.
I did get the item I was looking for so I'm pleased I was able to source that
Great service
