Hi,
Here's a good tip for anyone looking for car Parts..!

I just bought a Headlamp for the wife's VW Polo on www.micksgarage.com for 72 EUR inc Vat. The Motor Factors were quoting me 100 EUR plus ..!
Even with shipping 7.5EUR (Arrived the following day via courier) it worked out far cheaper.

Its probably my sticky paws but ....

I couldnt find any oil filters, air filters, oil or brake pads

Cant believe that they are not there so assume it down to me not understanding how to drive the site.

Anyone able to help on this ?

Re: Its probably my sticky paws but ....

Hi eDog,
I also had a look on the site for an oil filter for the Polo but could not find them either. I mailed the site [[email protected]] and they informed me that they do not stock it. They don't seem to have very technical parts on the site.
As far as i can see the only Car Specific products they stock apart from the accessories are lamps, indicators, bonnets, bumpers, panels, wishbones, mirrors and mirror glass. However i did get a good deal on the headlamp as it saved me a good 20 EUR..!

I would be interested if anyone else has experience with these guys also...as i reckon its about time we get some sites selling car stuff. From my experience Motor Factors are very expensive for most car items.
Why is it we don't have much competition in the industry for general motor parts.....?
The UK has Halfords and the like.....i for one would welcome some choice.

Motor factors ....

Yes CJ !

If you are into motor factor stuff and not down in the deep south it can be very worthwhile to go up North.

e.g. My last foray up there I came back with some 5 litre cans of semisynthetic oil at a cost of Stg7/can

FWIW I believe that Partco have a couple of branches in the North

If you want to buy second hand from a scrap yard try the place behind the Statoil Garage just off the Ballymun Road. On the Left on the way down from the M50 roundabout.

I recently bought two head lamps and a rear lens there for 100euro. Got my wifes punto through the NCT.

Otto are rubbish, never have anything. Seems to be run by people with only counter experience and know nothing of the mechanics of a car. Save yourself the trip and go to a garage. At least your guaranteed to get the right part.
