You can buy with confidence knowing that all of the components have been thoroughly cleaned, checked, and tested before being offered for sale. When compared to purchasing new car parts, we guarantee that you will save a significant amount of money by using our parts.

Our knowledgeable staff will respond to your inquiries via mail, phone, fax, or email, and they will be able to quickly determine whether or not our stores have the parts you are looking for. Our inventory includes not only high-quality used spare body parts, but also new parts that have been shipped directly from the manufacturer. Testing and Quality Assurance It is common for us to purchase entire vehicles, which we will then dismantle and store the parts for future sale. After being dismantled, the parts are thoroughly cleaned, checked, and tested before being sold, and they come with a 90-day warranty. Second hand parts are typically sold for a fraction of the cost of a new replacement part purchased from a dealership. As a result, many replacement parts sold by dealers (exhausts, electrical, brakes) are not the original part but a copy of the original part; therefore, by purchasing the parts from VehicleWise, you will be purchasing the identical spare part that was originally fitted to the vehicle during manufacture, giving you peace of mind that the part is genuine at a more affordable price. Guaranteed for 90 days Because we are so confident in our products, we offer a 90-day money-back guarantee on all of them. Our used parts are sourced from insurance total loss vehicles rather than end-of-life vehicles, resulting in a higher-quality component than those sourced from other sources. In fact, we receive 90 percent of our used parts directly from motor insurance companies with which we have established relationships. Delivery in 2 working days or less. We are open for counter sales five days a week and are equipped to ship parts anywhere in the United Kingdom or internationally. We provide a delivery service within two working days for anywhere in the United Kingdom. Whenever we ship internationally, we choose the quickest and most cost-effective method possible based on the urgency of the shipment. We will respond to your questions or orders via phone, mail, fax, or email, and payment can be made by check, debit card, or credit card, among other methods.

Perfect reconditioned engine and gearbox
I had a 64 plate Vauxhall Movano van, and I decided to have a complete engine replacement, new injectors, gearbox, and clutch installed. I also had them perform an MOT at the same time. The expertise and professionalism of this company exceeded my expectations. They took the time to provide detailed explanations of all the work they carried out, and Alex kept me informed of the progress throughout. It’s been six months since the repairs, and my van still runs as smoothly as when it was new. Their unlimited mileage/12-month warranty was the primary reason I chose their services, even though I’m based in Scotland. It’s important to note that the warranty requires oil and filter changes every 6000 miles, which the van has undergone twice now. I highly recommend this company to anyone; don’t miss out on their exceptional service. I’m a very satisfied customer, and their friendly team made the experience pleasant. I will definitely return for any future needs.
I chose this company for a…
I chose this company for a reconditioned gearbox for my Renault Clio, and my experience with the purchasing process exceeded all expectations. I wish I could give them 10 stars. They were incredibly helpful with any questions or requests I had. I also appreciated their assistance when I returned my old gearbox and accidentally left a part behind. Special thanks to Anthony.
The installation of the gearbox was performed in my garage, and so far, it’s working well. I’m quite confident it will continue to perform, and it’s reassuring that the company offers a one-year warranty on the item.
Overall, I have nothing but praise for this company, and I would give them a 5-star rating across the board.
Great service very friendly staff,
Great service very friendly staff,
Always fix my van asap would highly recommend
Fantastic service
Fantastic service. I ordered an ignition barrel on Friday afternoon ( late on Friday and it arrived with me mid morning next day Saturday ) 400 miles ( give or take ) 🙂 👍
Would not use them again
Would not use them again. Sent me a faulty engine which was releasing metal fillings which was causing the engine to stutter. When phoning them they were less than helpful and rude, wanting me to drive a dodgy car from Scotland down to Blackburn. Only reason I’ve not went further is the car was in a car crash not long after.
Good product del on time
Excelent service and quick delivery

Great service from Vehiclewise
Great service from Vehiclewise. It’s a stressful and expensive time when you have to replaced a blown up engine. Alex and Vicki were fantastic to deal with. They new what was needed and supplied a fully reconditioned engine. It has now been fitted and we now have our horsebox on the road again. I would definitely recommend dealing with these guys. I had no problems speaking on phone or getting answers to emails. Thank you very much for your help.

Avoid this company at all costs
I bought a product from this company and when I decided to return it and accept they take 25% off for "restocking fees", they refused to refund the money and claimed the courier attended to collect a couple of times and I was not home (unarranged collection) which cost the value of the item!!!!!!!!! their customer service is an absolute joke, I am seeking legal advice at the moment - avoid dealing with this company at all costs.
After 33 emails they refunded the money with the stocking fees. It should not take that hard process to take my money back!!!

Be very careful
Be very careful, I bought a recon engine last year and just over 2 months out of warranty and just over 10,000 miles the engine as broken down with a major fault which my local garage said would cost too much to repair. Vehiclewise response was to get it to them to diagnose, when asked if they would help in some way their response was 'its out of warranty', So after spending nearly £4,500 on what was advertised has a completely reconditioned engine, and following exactly what was required for the warranty I am left with what will now be a write off so this is why i say be very careful when considering a recon engine.

Quick turnaround for an engine rebuild

Time is money in my trade, so to have my engine took out of my van - rebuilt and put back in record time - was a massive help to my removal business

This was the worst experience I ever had.
I have been to their yard to buy two volvo doors, I have paid £440 for them without seeing the doors but they stated that the doors are in a perfect condition.
When they brought the doors to me they were damaged, dented and scrached.
I have imediately informed the gentleman at the office and asked for a refund.
He refused to give my money back with an offensive attitude and forced me to leave the yard with two damaged doors as they made me feel unsafe.
Now after three weeks I am still trying to get the doors returned and receive a refund but they are just ignoring my emails.
I will have to go the legal

seat belts for a 2016 Nissan…
bought 2 seat belts for a 2016 Nissan pulsar, couldn't be happier with the communication from the company, prompt and polite, very knowledgeable and happy to combine postage for the 2 belts, bought separately.
Postage was insanely quick, arrived next day, even though the courier stamp was 48hr, which I would have still been impressed with, given im on the Isle of Wight, some companies think that's somewhere in the Med and won't ship....
Cant fault the service from start to finish, I work in a car parts supplier (ses autoparts) and wish half our suppliers were this good...!
