Terms and Conditions

About us

Compare.Parts is a website which, amongst other things, compares the prices of aftermarket and performance car parts.

Compare.Parts allows you to find the best price for parts at the click of a button. You no longer have to spend ages searching countless websites for the best deal. Compare.Parts does the hard work for you! We frequently scan supplier websites showing you up-to-date parts prices so you can make the best decision.

We do not provide financial or other advice in relation to the products or services compared, nor do we provide a recommendation or endorsement.

When it comes to our providers, we don’t choose favourites. We offer impartial and independent comparison and our results are ranked by price.

Service standards

We aim to provide a high level service to all our customers but occasionally things can go wrong. When this happens we will do everything we can to put things right and assist you.

What to do if you have a complaint?

If you have a complaint about our service, please contact us.

For the purposes of handling complaints our working day is 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays.

Please include your name and address, a contact telephone number, your quote number and details of why you are unhappy. This will help us to respond to you as quickly as possible. If we do not have enough information to investigate your complaint we will try and contact you to ask for further details.

If we are unable to resolve your complaint within 7 working days, we will send a written acknowledgement of your complaint to you within 14 working days of its receipt. In our acknowledgement we will advise you of the name and job title of the person who will be dealing with your complaint.

By the end of eight weeks after receipt of your original complaint letter we will send you a final response or a letter explaining why we are still not in a position to issue a final response and advising you of when we expect to be able to do so.

If your complaint is regarding a product or service that you have purchased via this website then you can complain directly to the relevant product or service provider responsible for supplying the product or service about which you wish to complain.

We cannot answer complaints on behalf of a product or service provider or accept responsibility for any such complaints. We recommend that you visit the website of the product or service provider and follow their complaints procedure if you wish to make a complaint against them.

Founded by Shahin Fard and brought to life with the help of amazing friends, Compare.Parts is more than a marketplace. It's a community where car enthusiasts come together to find, buy, and sell performance car parts.
