Excellent Service
Speed of service impressive. I had ordered the same alternator from a different company but my fan belt did not fit it and surprisingly I was told it should no other explanation! The Startermotor Company's model fitted perfectly, nice to know that there are people who still can deliver service, and at a better price, well done
Perfect
Sorry, i don't speack eanglish well, but your product is perfect. I used it on Volvo Penta 2003T on my boat and it is smaller , liighter then the older one. The motor start in 3sec.

I inadvertently ordered the wrong alternator for my FTO, it arrived within 24 hours, made a call and had the correct one delivered and wrong one collected 'again' within 24 hours, all postage was free of charge.
I have given my local garage the contact details, (they were very impressed).
Thanks
Excellent service
Delivered first thing in the morning having ordered late the day before, excellent
Brillliant.....
Great advice, staff friendly and informed. Saved me around 70% against Honda price for same part..... would use them again without question
Excellent service and prices
I ordered an alternator from The Starter Motor and Alternator Company, it was dispatched within an hour and arrived 2 days later, exactly as they said. Unfortunately it was faulty but a single email had them responding quickly and helpfully, a replacement was sent immediately and the faulty one collected without any additional cost to me, and without any argument from them. Sometimes mistakes happen and a piece of equipment is faulty but its how a company deals with problems that makes them stand out from the rest.My issue was dealt with very quickly, professionally, and with courtesy.
I'm happy to recommend them to everyone and would use them again myself if needed.
Great starter motor, great delivery to Spain
Had the exact model I needed. Web-site clearly organised so you can match part numbers and have confidence you are ordering the correct replacement. Reasonably priced and fast delivery to Spain.
Just what I needed at an excellent price.
Got the starter at a fifth of the price as quoted by agents. Life saver.
Extremely fast shipping, reasonable cost.
So glad I found your company, else I would have ended up paying double or triple the price in my home country Singapore. Thanks a bunch guys! :)
Perfect
Ordered an alternator for my Citroen C3, 3 days later it arrived, at my home. And home in this case is Denmark, very good price, everything perfect, i can only recommend the company. Though the freight rate, was a bit expensive. Other UK companies ship to Denmark, at about the half price. But never the less, it´s still good prices, in total.
Fisrt class service on quality price and delivery.
Replacement starter for BMW 330d, £125.00 inclusive of VAT and delivery to Shetland Isles, fantastic, cheapest by miles, excellent communications and speedy delivery, would highly recommend to anyone!
Speedy Helpful CORRECT parts suplied
Service was friedly and helpful, the communication and speed of delivery was excellent, indeed they phoned to confirm that i had ordered the correct startermotor as there were two similar ones, i had in fact ordered the incorrect one and they gave me a courtosy call which then meant that thanks to them i had the correct one sent out!
All in all an excellent sernce, great focus on the customers and as i said brilliant customer service and communication! Thank you, i was back on the road very swiftly thanks to them.
Great service
Ordered without any hassle and delivered a starter motor for a friends yacht here in Sardinia in less than a week, and at much better price than the locals. Great
fantastic
Great advice and help, next day delivery and way cheaper than BMW prices
Highly recommend
Brought a starter motor for Audi S3 2000 @ £105.00 total. no surcharge Cheapest and best service i had.
Cost of this at eurocarparts was BOSCH £174. 00 + £108.00 surcharge or Lucas @ £155.94 + £78.00 surcharge
would Recommend using startermotor-alternator company to everyone
All thumbs up!
I live in Bucharest - Romania and I was looking for 2 months for a specific alternator for my Opel GTC 1.3 CDTI.
None of the stores in my country was able to get me the part and the official Opel dealers had outrageous high prices.
I placed the order on Friday, had confirmed the model including detailed photos of the part to be delivered and next week on Thursday I had the alternator on my car.
Excellent price, excellent delivery time, excellent customer service.
Pleasure to do business with.
I definitely recommend these guys. Real pros
Superb!
Excellent service, great alternator, fast delivery. Small problem on installation but were very polite and knowledgeable on the phone and managed to solve my query efficiently. Will definitely use again if I ever have the need to.
Fantastic from start to finish

Ordered Monday over phone at 2.45pm, arrived next morning by 9.00am !! same part Bosch refurb unit is priced at Porsche at 644 + vat, or other suppliers local to me at 289 + vat, here it was 120 plus vat !!!! a true bargain, and excellant customer service, you cant beat this lot..
