Great company!

I have used British Parts for both my S Type and my Discovery 3 parts. Exceptionally good service, fast delivery times, knowledgable, friendly and very helpful.

Passed my test at 17 in 1957 and been driving and repairing ever since, I have never had better service , even used their impeccable returns when I ordered the wrong part. I will use this service with complete confidence again

Unreliable and bad customer service

Confirmed stock for order, then had to chase as they forgot to dispatch. Then got confirmation of delivery, so took my car to the garage for them to strip.24 hours after dispatch they informed me that they didn't have all the items and that it was tough. Car now stuck on ramp in bits.
Really bad customer service,

Martyn I am suprised to hear that you have had such an awful experience, I have looked into this and can see that you did infact have an 11 line order and we were unable to supply 1 line of this order, I am also aware that our salesperson was more than apologetic for being unable to supply this part and has been working to source this part for you. I understand your frustration and can confirm that our salesperson had located the missing spring kit for you which i understand that you now do not want. I should also add that at no time did my colleague imply that it was ' tough ' that the part was out of stock.

It is unfortunate that we were unable to supply this part and hope you will be able to find the correct part elsewhere

So far so good

So far so good. Ordered R-type breakpads and discs from Mintex.. I've been driving them for roughly 3000km now, and am still happy. They work just fine so I would buy them again if needed. Big plus; they are waaaaay cheaper then OEM's from jaguar.

Hose Quick Release Tool XK8

I purchased this item (310-044) to enable the removal of the fuel tank pipe on my XK8. The item was made out of lightweight plastic and disintegrated almost immediately on use. This item is not fit for purpose especially at a cost of £24.95.

Malcolm I'm sorry you felt the need to leave us a 1 star review notwithstanding a simple call to our customer service team would have been the first and most benificial option for you. The part is an original jaguar tool and is made of plastic, if was made of metal it would not be able to compress and work. It sounds like you may not have the experience required to use this part as we have sold hundreds of these over the years with no complaints or returns.

It sounds like you just broke it when using it but please be advised we are happy to return it to Jaguar on your behalf for inspection

Headline price not reflective of cost

Headline price for Adblue was £28.46, nowhere did it say "+ VAT" nor were the postage costs immediately apparent. Final price with Postage and VAT was £42.91 an increase of 50%. Transparency of pricing is needed

Unhelpful

I bought rear flexible brake pipes for my Jaguar XJ40; they were too short. When I rang the receptionist was very friendly but couldn’t put me through to parts and said she would get them to ring me, they did but I missed the call and they left a VM saying they had checked and the correct item was sent. I then called back later and spoke to Duncan, he was anything but helpful and basically told me to get the parts elsewhere, I certainly will and I will never use British Parts UK again.

In reply to British Parts, the rear axle, brakes and all mountings are off a Jaguar XJ40. So the connections at both ends are Jaguar XJ40, The bodyshell that is over the working parts is irrelevant but that seemed to go over your head. I have now bought these parts (for a XJ40) from my local car spares store and funnily enough they are about 2 inches longer. Happy days! Also these parts were received 12 months ago, not a year and a half ago and I wasn't expecting any refund as I do realise that is some time ago, I just wanted parts that fit and I was willing and expecting to pay for them.

Gerard Hickey You of course failed to mention that you purchased these hoses for a kit car and NOT a Jaguar XJ40 at all, The parts you selected and ordered on our website in 2019 over a year and a half past are correct to part number and as described. Why would you think this is our responsibility? we only sell parts for Jaguar and Land Rover Cars. sorry but you really cant blame us for your mistakes

Customer Service tried to bully, threaten and buy me out of leaving a bad review

***Edited after lengthy conversations with owner of company***

AVOID THIS COMPANY. CHEAP PRICES NOT WORTH THE HASSLE.
Be very wary of parts specifications - the website has very few details on the parts they are supplying and some of the parts supplied were not what I was expecting. Only after my complaints and bad reviews was I presented with a spec sheet that could just as easily be on their product listing page.

After realising my mistake with a pair of parts (one of which I broke by using incorrect fittings as the spec was different to what was originally fitted to the car), I asked for a refund on both as I thought it was not of OEM quality. After being rightly told I was wrong (and could not return the damaged part, understandable) I asked to return the unpackaged and untouched second part as I didn't want to go through with the job now. I was told that it is outside of their returns policy window so I cancelled all of my remaining orders with them. As a result of this, I left negative reviews of the company as good websites will always accept an untouched, packaged part a few days out of the return window.

That is when the owner of the company decided to publish my personal data on several different websites, against my permission. He then argued that he could leave them there if he pleased (despite GDPR laws being in place to prevent this).

After much toing and froing over emails, the director resorted to bully tactics and finally threatened myself and my wife (who hasn't been involved at all along this process). He also tried to manipulate me into returning the two parts for a refund in exchange for me deleting my reviews (AKA hush money).

Avoid avoid avoid.

To be clear you have never ordered any components from our company, we do have orders from Charles Jackson and we have delivered the parts that Charles selected and ordered on our website. We have looked at your previous questions and the components are as described and suitable for the application and you are aware of this already. I regret we could not accept guarantee for parts that have been damaged during installation as this is not covered by guarantee
We also notice that you have placed a further order on our website this of course has been cancelled and your account closed. With the greatest respect our company provides good customer support but I regret that this does not extend to fixing damage caused by your installation

Shipment of shock absorbers to Antigua…

Shipment of shock absorbers to Antigua was wrongly routed to Cairo by FedEx, causing a serious delay.

Without any prompting, and although there was no fault on their part, British Parts sent another set of shock absorbers which have now been fitted.

Throughout the excercise, Vicky was friendly and professional, and kept me up-to-date.

Definitely service "above and beyond"!

I will most certainly be using British Parts again.

Brake Caliper Order

After an internet search I ordered on-line to British Parts as they offered the cheapest price for new calipers. The parts arrived, securely packaged, the next day and appear to be excellent quality. I am very impressed with such prompt service.
