Used spare parts

Just bought my spare parts to rebuild my sons car and they were very helpful. Got everything I needed and they were wrapped really well when they arrived. Very pleased and would definitely use again, but really hope I dont have to! LOL

Superb flexibility and customer service

These lads really pulled me out of the myre and no mistake. Sons car had 2 buckled Alloy wheels so could get through the MOT over the weekend. Bought two no buckle guarantee wheels on Sunday from these boyz over ebay and when I picked them up at 9.30am on the Monday they went out of their way to get them into my boot ASAP. Great service will use them again.

Ford Fiesta wing mirror

Started my search via Breakerlink, to which I was directed to Fortbits, got to say from the start I had no issues, supplied all my details, to double check I made a telephone call to the company who was very helpful and ordered my son a new wing mirror for he’s fiesta.
Arrived 3 days after purchasing (which is exactly what I was informed) packaged absolutely brilliantly.
Would highly recommend Fordbits and I know if I needed any parts in the future I would make Fordbits my first port of call.

Cheapest Fiesta wing mirror around

Cheapest Fiesta wing mirror I could find, right colour and in great condition. However there was a little confusion about delivery. I received an email saying it had been dispatched the same day I ordered it. Called after four days when it hadn't arrived. Was told it had been sent out that very morning and that maybe the part had been found to be damaged so they had had to source another one. The mirror arrived the next day, having been sent by DHL Next Day service. It's an excellent mirror and I'm grateful the item was finally sent by next day service. Only minor quibble is that I could have been told the first email was wrong and also told when it was finally sent.

Bought a used Ford engine, excellent item with quick delivery and reasonable prices

Bought a used engine for a Ford Focus. Delivered within 1-3 days. Came as described, in full working order as it has been tested and verified.

Didn’t have any issues at all.

Price was very reasonable and cheapest compared to other quotes received.

Will definitely buy from Ford Bits again in the future.

Disappointed in poor communication

I am going to write a review purely because I have been disappointed by the service. I originally bought a spare alloy wheel and tyre from fordbits for a great price on the 12th of July. I did not receive any tracking details and was told on the phone it would be with me in a 'couple of days.' I called multiple times 3-4 days afterwards - as I had been having to take a taxi to work, and wanted to know when it would arrive. They said they would inform me and let me know once the couriers replied. I had to call 8 days after purchase for me to be told that the courriers have somehow misplaced this item. Fine, these things happen (especially by the sounds of these reviews), I was disappointed however that they knew this information when I had called purely just by giving my name, but did not feel the need to call and inform me themselves. They asked I wait for 2 days afterwards, so that sufficient time had passed so I could claim a refund. 3 days passed, I was told by someone in the office they were aware and that they will process the refund and it should be in my account within 7 working days. 10 -12 working days pass, I call the company again, asking, to make sure if the refund was definitely processed, as I have not received any email confirmation or anything in my account. They assured me they had, and it must have gone to my 'junk mail.' I receive an email later that day, from paypal that a refund had been requested... that day. I am writing this review purely because of the customer service, I have been disappointed that I was left constantly chasing for confirmation of delivery, that when they realised it was lost they waited for me to call again, and when I asked for a refund, and blindly trusted they would process this, they clearly had forgotten and it took me calling again once the '7 working days' had passed. I even waited a little longer, thinking in good faith, it was just taking longer than expected. I was disappointed that the order went missing - I am aware this is not their fault, however, the communication afterwards has been very disappointed. This resulted in my paying for a taxi for nearly 2 weeks, until I realised that my order was never going to arrive.

Edit to reply: you told me to call 2 days after so that it could officially be recorded as missing so that you can claim a refund from the courier. I called 2 days later, as per the time frame you asked me to, not earlier. I never ‘demanded’ a refund, i asked politely could it be processed because I was entitled to it? Having paid for a product I couldn’t receive. I’ve not been petty in my review, and I was always kind on the phone and never raised my voice, and I always gave ample time before I called again and enquired. This was just an honest review of what happened. I was also not given any tracking details as I ordered this via 1stChoice, tracking details was not provided. I am also not blaming the missing product, things happen. It is the fact I asked for refund, told it would happen… it did not, had to chase 7 days later to find out it hadn’t been processed.

hi sorry you feel this way but now lets give our side of the story, you bought a used ford focus alloy wheel off us using a parts finder website ( not direct from us ) you paid £60 you where given the tracking details on line on the website you used to buy it, ( we sell over 200 item a week we cannot keep track of all items its not possible we ship and give the details on the site you bought from ) the site also states delivered it 2-3 working days. 7 days in you contacted us to state you have not received it where we told you we will contact DHL and chase it up it could take up to 72 hours to get a response. you then called us back before this time frame demanding a refund where we did it on PayPal we issued the refund. what more can we do i really get annoy at reviews like this from petty people we are not responsible for courier delays or loses. i just find it really annoying and upsetting with petty reviews but hey ho every one knows only unhappy people leave reviews and normally when they have not got what they wanted or wanted to happen

you where told refunds take upto 7 working days as they do with everyone by law we have 14 days to refund items we have done it all faster that we had to do there is in fact no need for a review on our account it should have been on dhl account you where given tracking on 1st choice

avoid using ford-bits have a look at other reviews a decent company would have sent the correct part and askedabout ford-bits. plenty of customers who can not get refunds.

avoid using ford-bits, they have zero customer service with regards refunds for wrong supply of goods.

Ok lets tell the correct side of the story you bought a wheel arch trim for a transit connect 30 days after delivery you contacted us to say it was the wrong side via Ebay demanding a refund when you had not even bought it off ebay and could not give me any transaction details so we could look into this. you then opened a case on Paypal, where we responded in full and you where asked to return the goods for a refund where you refused and demanded a refund in full then went on to escalate the case with PayPal, where we then again told you to return even though it was out of the return period of the 30 days, you never responded and paypal closed the case in our favour this is not our fault who refunds without goods back. can you get a refund without returning the item anywhere else? you opened a paypal case you where told to return the goods by us for a refund and you didnt you where then told by paypal to return them for a refund and guess what you didnt again all this can be proved in the paypal case centre i would love to know who offers a refund without good coming back its really funny this people leave reviews and miss out all the home truths
