Hi Paul,

Being half way between Bolton and Manchester, We have just about every factor known to man. But I don't feel privileged as despite this my choice is still ltd.

I use Andrew page in the main for most my parts as they seem to cover most things I use. Unipart are a waste of space and rarely have in stock what I need (I dont do servicing or mech repairs)

Euro car parts are often the cheapest but I refuse to use them as they give very little discount and will usually sell the same parts for the same price to any one who rings up or walks in off the street (and all your customers already know the price before you quote) plus they appear to sell a lot of counterfeit parts in Bosch boxes. GSF I do use from time to time |But they have had to adopt a similar approach to ECP in order to compete. In my opinion ECP have Killed the parts supply chain.

We have many other smaller factors locally but like Unipart they seem to concentrate mainly on servicing parts, clutches, exhausts, brakes etc which I dont use so again they are not much use to me. I used to use Fuel Parts but Pages can offer me similar or better quality and have it with me in an hr or less most days.
