Britcar (Ipswich) landrover parts

I’ve always used Britcar (Ipswich) over the years for landrover parts. Very friendly service and always going that extra mile to source the parts you need at a fare price.

Well recommended.

Range Rover Classic brake servo

I required a brake servo for my Range Rover Classic. From such a respected company as Brit car they were very reasonably priced. I was advised after passing my chassis number which servo I needed. Two days later I received it. Great value and service. Thank you

I found the website to be lacking a lot…

I found the website to be lacking a lot of product information to help determine the correct product I required which was frustrating. I did then use chat but after a wait I then received an email response, after I few emails I finally got the part number I required.

I went back to the website and found three products matching that part number. There was nothing to differentiate the products except brand. one was a genuine OEM part at three times the price of the other two.

I then replied to the email to see which of the two pattern parts were in stock, only to be told they don't hold either in stock.

I placed an order for the more expensive option as it said it would ship faster than the cheaper alternative. I did select the option to receive an alternative product if the one ordred wasn't available.

About 36hours later, I got a shipping notification and I also received a refund for the difference between the price of the two products but no notification as to why.

The next day I receive my order and it was the lower priced product, I then had several emails to say my product had arrived but still nothing about an alternative having been sent. Multiple emails to say the delivery has arrived really are a waste of time, I know it has arrived, it is sat in my kitchen.

Britcar lost marks for an old fashioned website with poor search and filtering, the product information is non existent, I want to be able to compare products to see exactly which I require including product specs. Many car parts websites allow the user to put in their registration number and see the products that fit. They also lost marks for requiring several emails to find the part and then to have to go back to see which they have in stock. Finally the communication if I start a conversation on the chat, I expect the response on chat not to switch to email, I would have also liked to be informed if a substitute product had been shipped.

It wasn't all bad, the delivery was quick, less than 72 hours, they did recommend the correct part, the price was good and although an old fashioned looking website, they do have some good personalisation elements.

I do recommend them and I will use them again

Reply from Britcar Global

Dear Mr Cole, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. We are aware that our website has faults - and we're working to bring you a new one within the next 3 months actually. However, as we list over 370,000 parts, we can't use the same number plate system as other companies. In fact, if you look at our Land Rover competitors, none of them have it either because at the moment, it requires manually entering the information, which is ok for some of the sites that only have a few thousand products, but it's impossible with so many. On the new website, we're hoping to introduce this feature at the start of 2022 but it requires a lot of advanced programming so we are working on it.

Further, one of the reasons we list so many products is because unlike our competitors, we like to offer you the customer the choice of supplier as it can affect the quality of the part. Some people like to avoid certain suppliers for example. That's why you will have seen so many options of which part you could buy. To learn more about what each means, please visit: https://www.brit-car.co.uk/blog/2018/11/genuine-oem-pattern-parts/.

I hope you have a more positive experience the next time you order. Thanks for taking the time to review us! Britcar UK.
