A++++ service would recommend

I used remove my car to get rid of my old car. They appointed Fairlea. I was a bit emo when the bloke came around cos that car had been a gift from my late Husband. He was very sweet and kind. I told him all that was wrong with it and he thanked me for my honesty. He had to start it using some machine to get it on the truck cos the battery was flat but there were no drama's. The money came into my account today just as agreed. Can't fault the service I've had. Wonderful people x

Service that I have received from this company was excellent every time I used them staff well experienced in all matters Vauxhall Especially Danny

Sell scrap metal and purchase cheap wires for electrical installation at the same time. Nice guys.

The staff are extremely rude , they give you the wrong parts on purpose, so when you take it back they won’t refund you at all , or give you another part. The old man behaves like a 10 year old , simply haven’t been taught any manners , he was shouting and screaming at me for no reason , extremely rude , I would avoid it at all costs , the worsts salvage ever, run by a few disgusting individuals.

OPPOSITE OF SPEEDY!!! Where to start, bought fuel pump off Ebay, contacted seller to say I would collect item, save them hassle to post as I need pump ASAP. To which he replied 'sure that's fine' Drove an hour, turned up following day 9:30am as on Google it says they open at 9am. Gates closed, phoned owner he said 'someone will be with you soon'. Okay fine I waited. Rang 5 times following that and each time 'Just round the corner / 5 minutes / very snowy roads/ accident on route' basically every excuse they could think of. Finally 1 and a half hours later he turned up, as if he's done nothing wrong. No apology, no nothing. Gave me a dirty fuel pump and I got the hell out of there Will 100% not be going back and would advise others to avoid. Change name to Slow Salvage - as can't be bothered.

Firstly, I need to explain that I never post a review by reading any of the other reviews about a business. That way my reviews are always unbiased and based upon my own personal experiences of dealing with the business in question. I must admit to being saddened to see the low score (3.3 when this review was written) as my dealings with Dannny and his team have been nothing short of superb. I've bought two engines from him so far, via that well known online auction site. Now, as anyone who knows anything about cars will tell you, buying a 2nd hand engine is dangerous in itself. Buying it from that auction site makes it doubly dangerous, but even worse, when it's a VW BCA engine the danger level goes into the red as they are horrid little engines! However, Danny promised to send me a good one, and even though the engine was advertised as "a bare engine", he left on a massive number of very useful parts. That's a tremendous bonus! There was quite a delay in getting the engine fitted, between the weather and working hours etc, but I got there in the end and gingerly turned the key in the ignition and it started first time! Now, anyone who knows modern engines knows that the hydraulic tappets take time to pump up to full pressure so the engine will sound clattery to start with. This often terrifies the uninitiated! Within minutes the engine settled down to a perfect idle and sounded so sweet I was shocked! So, from my experiences at least, Danny and his team are the good guys. They have done me proud, and that is why they receive the full five stars. The engines arrive on time, very carefully wrapped, and okay maybe I was lucky having some extra parts left on the engine, but the best thing was that the engine was great, as was the communications with Danny and his team, so I just can't fault them. -------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I am not employed by this business, nor am I in any way connected with them. I have received no inducement to write this review, nor has one been offered. This is an unbaised review of this business based upon personal experience, your experience may be different. Second hand parts can be a nightmare to guarantee, and mistakes will happen, but as long as a business tries to resolve the issues, then that's what makes them a good business to deal with.

Good prices on spares. Helpfull.
