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 use MPD's Ellough branch and their service is faultless.

I use MPD's Ellough branch and have done so for the last fifteen years.
A simple order to add to the many and varied I have had from this depot;
I needed some windscreen wipers for my wife's car as the old ones were squeaking and not clearing the windscreen.
I called and ordered new items and asked for delivery to my yard.
They are in stock and arrive promptly. I fit.
Another task completed without fuss.
Thank you to MPD at Ellough.

I looked EVERYWHERE for the part I needed but had no luck until I found Steve at Motor parts Direct at Linguard Lane Bredbury. He went out of his way to help and find the part I needed. He was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. Thanks so much Steve. Cheers Pete

Hello, sorry to read that you had a poor experience/encounter with one of our staff. I see you have already contacted the Branch Manager and hope this ends with a resolution. We do not condone this behaviour whatsoever within the MPD Family. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Kind Regards Team MPD

Better than the rest

Not necessarily the cheapest but I'm never let down on service which costs me more as a garage, so I'll take it.

Miss leading, no apologies, didn't care!!

called them at 11.45 to check a part number, they told me they have it in stock, they closed at 12.30 so a mad 8mile drive through the busy Saturdays roads and retail parks, only to find they didn't have it in stock...they didn't even apologise!!!

Hello jonmark, we are sorry to read this disappointing review.

Unfortunately stocks are only live on the minute you enquire. There is two possible scenarios here 1. Error on the staff part or 2. It was in stock when you contacted but then sold in-between.

It would be great to know the branch and part you was after so we can investigate this further to ensure something like this never happens again.

Apologies for any inconvenience and distress this may have caused you. Our standards of customer service are high and we endeavour to continuously listen and improve.

Kind Regards

AVOID AVOID AVOID

Bought a steering rack in January got it fitted to find it was faulty, so returned it and got told we need to wait 4-6 weeks to get our money back. Time passed and still no money and the staff was very rude. After the 3rd letter i sent them if it wasn’t payed back I was taking them to court as it took 4 months to get our money back. These people are toxic avoid at all costs

Sorry you didn't receive the level of service you and ourselves expect. We will be looking into this matter with urgency. It is worth noting that warranty/Faulty goods procedure in the Automotive industry is timely and very thorough. We'd expect a 4-6 week wait for a fitted parts claim to be resolved, but not four months. Once again we apologies, and we hope you will give us another try one day!

Dangerous drivers

I was crashed into by a driver of this company while I was stationary in a queue of traffic at red lights, he apologised when I confronted him, blamed the rain for not stopping!!! made no effort to help when i told him my car wouldn't start. When I did start it and drove along to somewhere safe to stop I turned round expecting him to have pulled up behind me and he had drove off! Called the company told them what happened, my car bumper would need respraying, a service to safety check and turn off the engine light that had come on, a new child car seat and any time I have to take off work due to not having use of the car as I use it for work who said they will cover all costs, I have paid for most the work myself and am waiting for the money back!!!!

The site asks you for your cars registration , you search for the part you require and the site promptly shows you parts that it informs you are not suitable for your car 😂 brilliant

Sorry to hear you wasn't satisfied with out website. We are currently working in the background developing a new website. With this in mind, it is sometimes a pain but there are options on vehicles for the same part that a computer just can't narrow down leaving it down to our lovely counter staff or the consumer(if using the website) to figure out. If you need any assistance at all in the future please don't hesitate to contact any of our branches. Kind Regards

Horrible toxic place to work for

Horrible toxic place to work for, the two other female drivers there made you feel like rubbish every shift. The assistant manager is toxic and rude, and basically needs sacking as he makes you feel suicidal to work for. This is the Worksop branch, most clique place I’ve ever worked in. If your face doesn’t fit, that’s it, you’re treated like a nobody and soon get rid of.

Hey Shannon,

This is a service and product review platform.

Your review may be best suited on more relevant workplace platforms.

If i can help guide you, i will do. However i will have to report this review as it is not relevant to Trust Pilot.

Kind Regards

Didn’t have anything delivered but disgusted at a driver over taking a car going 30mph in a 30mph zone when there was clearly lots of children who had been dropped of by their school bus so dangerous!! Lucky they did not hit and kill a child!
