Cheap stuff on Euro Car Parts

[theironduke]

Just got everything I need for a 12000 mile service on my car (including oil) for a smidge over 50 quid!

Other parts suppliers in my area tend to be about the same price on most stuff. I use Euros non stop though. Spent about 20k with them in the last year running a workshop. Just if they don't have what I want then I go to other suppliers and they are about the same cost.

Well done.

Indeed worth a look, some of the bank holiday offer prices are very good (oil in particular I thought).

Yes, that's why I mentioned it tbh, with the BH discount it' very cheap.

The oil I got was under 25 quid for 10 litres of 10/40 semi syth.

They sell me the BMW Longlife 04 spec 5w30 fully synthetic I use at £40 per 20 litres. I suppose always cheaper to the trade though.

I just got two sets of four front brake pads and two disks for the Clio for just under £60, they even threw in some copper grease and a litre of coolant for free.. Not the best quality parts in the world I imagine but for an 85hp clio they will do.

I tend to find the other suppliers will happily sell you lower quality sh1p for the same money. I've found Euros to be generally quite good over the last 5 years. Just sometimes have some right eejits working there.

Minimum wage. That's how they keep the cost down

It's sometimes worth checking carparts4less too as they are the same company but occasionally sell the same items for less.

I find that you get exactly what you pay for with euros & its not getting better

And this is different to every other parts supplier in what way?

It's not. They all have the same percentage of utter st staff!
