The 30 Best Auto parts in Brighton

“Popped in to get my air con checked after being told by a national chain garage it was booked in with that they could not do it as it had the newer type gas and not the older type as stated when online booking. Now waiting for my refund. Arrived at C R Allen and the service was great, came straight out and had a look to confirm it was the old type gas which was great as it's cheaper. They then said they had a slot to be able to do it for me straight away. Told me the price and also advised having the pollen filter changed as it had not been done in the last 12 months. Price agreed and the van went straight in. Drove away an hour later all nice and chilled with my air con working. Happy to recommend.”

“I read a review here about how ECP are not very cost competitive which is a wild comment because these guys put halfords to shame with their low prices. I use express for all parts i need in my business and ive not found anywhere cheaper in sussex or surrey. Thanks for the constant support from express car parts. Love you lot!”

“My order arrived faster than expected. All parts were individually packed and in perfect condition. Highly recommended!”

“Great customer service Had a problem with a locking wheel nut key which they resolved and the fitting was faultless Helpful, pleasant guys, highly recommended”

“Following a technical fault with my vehicle which required roadside recovery I contacted Swift via their WhatsApp account to hopefully initiate a possible diagnosis the following day. To my surprise I received an immediate response via the App and by swapping messages was able to have the vehicle recovered to the workshop ready for the following day. It was very reassuring at the time to know we had Swift in place to investigate the problem and to be able to leave the vehicle at their site overnight with a reasonable sense of security considering how late in the evening the vehicle recovered. I also received a call at 08:02 the following morning to discuss the matter in detail. The diagnostic process was complex, but ultimately a definitive fault was found and the relevant part replaced, additional work was also identified and I was happy to agree it’s completion as I like to have a well maintained/ serviced/repaired vehicle. Throughout the process, Swift communicated with me by email and phone and text, when I wanted to have a detailed discussion about the problem and resolve I was able to do so by being passed to the appropriate people in a timely manner. I was impressed by the way in which the team were keen to hear the history and scenarios whereby the fault had occurred, this was so much more reassuring than just being told that they would plug in the diagnostics and find the problem. The vehicle has been previously serviced/MOT’d by Swift and is booked again for 2026, all being well this recent repair will prove to be a success and enable me to use the vehicle with confidence. I currently feel reassured that in the unlikely event of a recurrence Swift would deal with the matter accordingly. I would definitely recommend Swift Motors.”

“It was a busy day when I went but they had it well managed and everyone knew exactly when they would be seen to. When it was my cars turn, they did the job really quickly and with a smile. I was pleasantly surprised when I learnt that they also do mechanical repairs and I got a quote on the spot, beating a quote that I got from another garage by a lot!”

“Despite being ridiculously busy and short staffed (I really felt for one guy who couldn't get anything done, without the phone ringing, or a stream of customers coming in) the team were all delightful and helpful and apologetic for the wait. What a credit they are to this organisation. I feel they need some additional help to answer phones and do the admin ATS!”

“Took my Hyundai Tucson which had been dented around the fuel inlet area, thus wasn't a straight forward dent repair. Rob gave me a price, said when he could book me in / how long it would take. Price remained as quoted when I saw him, car was ready when he said it would be ready. Happy with a good job done. Have a good Christmas Rob and good luck for 2024.”

“I came in for an Emergency chain repair, after I broke down on the A27. The friendly staff took my bike in and told me what needed doing. Within a few hours I was back on the road for less cost than I initially expected.”

“I recently had an excellent experience with Clive at On the Road Service and Repairs. They went above and beyond to help me get my van back in working order for my job. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient, diagnosing the issue quickly and providing a transparent estimate. They worked diligently, and I was back on the road in no time! I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable vehicle repairs. Thank you for your fantastic work!”

“Fair prices for my service parts.”

“Once again the squad at Jayar Hailsham helped me out. Even through they were busy, they kindly helped with installation of the part too. Thank you again everyone.”

“Good service and good value products.”

“Went above and beyond to source and find the product I wanted “ friendly and helpful too”

“Brilliant local car parts place, serve garages and even minions like me with a bulb. Very convenient to drop in to as the location is great, always able to slot it in to a journey between Lancing/ Worthing etc. Easy parking right outside no wandering around a massive car place trying to find help, just go to the little counter give your reg and bingo the correct parts appear! What’s not to love?!?”

“Product was available in store for immediate collection. Staff were super helpful even carrying a heavy battery to my vehicle for me. When most of my purchases are conducted online it was refreshing to be able to go into a store, find the products I wanted and leave with them on the same day, thanks to the kind and helpful staff.”

“Visited your Uckfield branch earlier today for a bulb. I spoke initially with Steve who advised me of the benefits of particular bulbs. These were purchased and between Steve and Murray, changed the bulbs for me.Genuinely, these guys were so polite and helpful and cracked the job in no time. Both guys are a great credit to your company. Please look after them. Kind regards Rob”

“I needed a battery check and replacement battery if as I suspected mine was on it's way out. Promptly checked and confirmed I needed a new one. Not a 5 minute job replacing the Kuga battery but all done professionally ensuring no loss of codes etc by friendly staff. My only slight criticism would be only one choice and price of battery but I was just a drive in, so maybe with an advance booking there may have been a choice. Also I joined the Halfords motering club that gave me a free fitting and £10 off the battery price and some future benefits. Overall a good experience.”

“Took my Adam S there for a service and Mot. Was kept up to date with progress and was very happy with my full service. Will definitely be going back when car is due for its next service. Highly trusted garage”

“Called John & Austin to replace rusted and leaking sliding rear windows on my VW T5. John was so helpful on the phone explaining options and costs. Booked van in and Austin did a fabulous job of fitting the new ones. I would highly recommend John & Austin , their super customer service, friendly and approachable manners, professionalism and high standard of workmanship is excellent. Guys thank you very much indeed see you soon to replace my badly chipped windscreen! Thanks again Simon”

“Brilliant service, I needed 4 tyres urgently as i am a carer for a 91 year old mother they did on the spot for me, have used them a few years ago. Great service and nice to deal with . Thank you”

“Went in to get a new battery. I was met by a lovely team who immediately ordered me a new battery which took only 15 minutes to arrive. It was put straight on & I was on my way. Staff friendly & professional throughout. I will definitely use again. Thank you for your fast & efficient service could not have asked for more.”

“Myself and a friend visited Brighton on a short holiday and had issues with her windscreen wiper, Chris was extremely helpful in assisting us and helping us out. Super friendly really couldn't fault him. Thanks so much!! Saved us so much stress and gave us peace of mind we'll be able to get home safely.”

“Absolutely brilliant team, great value, friendly and reliable service big shout to Josh for the introduction !”

“Can’t recommend any where else to go! Great service and great help , Spoke to Yaz and she sorted me out exactly what I need. She also went above and beyond to help put the part on my car!! She was so helpful and so friendly couldn’t have have better service big shout out to her at Newhaven auto Lec ! I will always be back !!”

“Jake the bike mechanic went above and beyond to service and work on my bike. It went in a little worse for wear and came out better than it’s ever been. - upgraded my old handle bars to Aeros, - changed & re routing all the cables - wrapping new bar tape - adjusted the break and gear levers. - fixed my front mec - fitted a new rear cassette - fitted a new jockey wheel - gave the bike a ‘platinum service’ Throughout the service he kept me updated on how it was going and any recommendations he would advise. All in all a very diligent, knowledge and trustworthy man. 10/10 Many thanks Tom”

“They're busy all the time. The guys here remain professional. New to the area, I would return”

“Bought Demon CarPlan Demon Foam Snow Foam Gun and I can’t believe how good it was! Easy to use, made car look great. 10/10 customer service when picking it up. Easy transaction, will return when need more. Thank you :)”

“I work with video cameras and last March I had to do a show that required an external Ninja V monitor for a camera via battery power, without the battery being attached directly to the monitor. I had all the right components except a cable that could go out of the SmallRig 12v (2.1mm) plate into the Ninja V (2.5mm). I had ordered a DC power supply adapter – converting a 2.1mm male to a 2.5mm male, but it was coming in the mail I wasn’t sure if I was going to get to me on time - so in a last ditch effort I went all over Brighton and Hove into every electrical shop I could find for over 5 hours, asking for parts, everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Finally, I went into Street Sounds and explained to Richard what I was trying to do. He simply said bring in the cables and the device and let’s have a look. I went home grabbed the bits and brought everything back. He asked: All you want is a 2.1mm on onside and 2.5mm on other side of a cable? I was like Yep! He went that’s easy, cut the 2 x cables to desired length, soldered the cable, threw some shrink wrap on it, heat gunned and said “test that”. I did and it worked perfectly. I offered to pay for his help, he said no, I offered to buy him some drinks or something for his time. He said No, it was a simple easy job only took like 5 minutes and sometimes it’s enough to help someone and see how stuff works. I wish there was more people with this kind of outlook and customer service. Thank You!!! ”

“I came in for a windscreen repair. So quick, easy, and the staff were amazing. Rob did my windscreen repair and it looks really good. Anne serviced me at the tills, she was very friendly, efficient and helpful.”
