Extortionate prices that are constantly hiked up. Cheaper elsewhere for sure. Also rude management when having to deal with a customer complaint!! Avoid avoid avoid! Take your business elsewhere!

I visited Motor spares direct in coalville.

I visited Motor spares direct in coalville this morning and I cannot praise their assistance enough, to say they went above and beyond is an understatement.
My car had failed its MOT on cloudy headlights and they came up with a makeshift idea to get it passed and it worked!! Thank you to the team and you will have my loyalty from now on.

Royston branch visit

I visited the Royston branch pretty flustered and stressed, and spoke with Josh who could not have been more helpful! My issue with a broken car key was dealt with immediately and fixed within the hour. Josh was really friendly and gave me advice on how to avoid the issue I had happening again. Thank you!

Motor Parts Direct Portsmouth

Don't normally use this factors, but after getting now joy from other factors in the area, i gave them a try, I dealt with a young lady called Faith, she said it's not something we stock or would normally do but let me do a search, within a few moments she had located an image of the item I'm after & part number, she went above & beyond to source this part where no other factor even looked, will definitely be using again without a doubt, Faith if you read this thank you so much for all your effort really appreciated & your smile made it even more worthwhile!

Over 3x the price of GSF Leicester

Well.. they had the part.
Unfortunately I had a car stuck in Hinckley so had to use these bandits.
GSF Leic - £6.40 NEW
ebay - £12.38 NEW
Motor Parts Direct Hinckley - £21.40
To top it all, the miserable gentleman(s) behind the counter couldn't even say thanks or cheerio. BUT they did have the gasket! ..

I’ve been in the motor trade some 40…

I’ve been in the motor trade some 40 years now and met loads of different types of staff, some can’t be bothered and some always go the extra mile, well the guys at the Driffield branch are certainly the ones that go the extra mile, I needed some locking wheel bolts urgently so I called into the branch and they checked on there computer and also went through all the stock to try and help me with this problem, and because the car was one of those in between years jobs it wasn’t fully conclusive which ones it should have on, but with this guy’s willingness to help we eventually got some that would fit mine, now that’s what I call first class service, thanks guys I will definitely be back again.

BEWARE OF THESE GUYS

So, rang these guys for a price for an air conditioning condenser, was quoted a price, I rang my customer and told them how much it was. 5 minutes after telling the customer the price, these guys rang back and said ‘really sorry but the price quoted does not include a £12 plus vat carrier charge and they had already asked the manager to waive the charge but I had no option if I wanted to buy it other than to pay the extra. SO MPD YOU NOW HAVE CONTROL OF MY PROFITABILITY AND SEEMINGLY YOU DO NOT CARE. THE BRANCH MANAGER IS NOT INTERESTED.

CARE WHEN BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY

Bought a Platinum battery from the Grimsby Branch. After 27 months the battery started to fail.
Contacted them regarding the issue, they said, only has a 2 year warranty. (The battery new cost £140) .
Contacted the Importers, they said ALL there stop/start batteries carry a 3 year warranty but refused to get involved as the warranty is given to the company they sell too.
Several weeks later the battery totally failed. Contacted the branch again and spoke to the manager. I said I spoken to the distributers who told me they sell them with 3 year warranty.
The manager at Grimsby admitted
Motor Parts had had problems with these batteries and do not deal with the company now. He added that some outlets still carry a stock and are only giving a years warranty. £140 for 1 years use!!!!! Deceitful they don't even tell you.
I said to the manager I believed when bought, the battery had 3 years warranty, if I had know at the time would not have bought it, instead I would have gone elsewhere and purchased one with a 5 year warranty.
He laughed and again said their is nothing he was prepared to do, adding he would sell me a different make at £150 adding if I didn't like it I can go to trading standards. At that point he put the phone down.
How ignorant.
