Needed a subframe for a transit connect. They had the best price I could find online and the bloke on the phone was really helpful. They wrapped up my part for me even though i didnt ask for it and printed out my label so it could be collected by my courier. Part itself is in good nick. Wouldnt hesitate to use again. Cheers lads

Would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help in sorting out a fuel tank for my son after his was vandalised by fuel thieves. He is only on a low income and works with people who have learning difficulties so needed his car. You even took the time to talk things through with our local mechanic. You saved my son hundreds of pounds a nd I am eternally grateful.

I had been searching for a set of wheels with reasonably good tyres, I found these at Howkins Motor Spares. I traveled up to collect them on the specified day. When I arrived the staff greeted me they were more then pleasant and happy to help me. I have been to other car spares establishments and have always been treated rudely and spoken to in an unruly manner.
Not at Howkins, I was shocked in a good way to say in the least. The wheels were brought out and even helped loading them in my car, with care and consideration. I am.more then happy to recommend them for all your spare parts with value for money. Should I need any more parts for my old car i wouldn't hesitate going back to Howkins.

I bought a set of used alloy wheels from Howkins via eBay. The wheels were exactly as described. All the imperfections were photographed and they were completely honest in the item description. They were well priced too. I picked up the wheels in person a couple of days later. The guys were really friendly and helpful, and even helped carry the wheels to my car which they didn't have to do. I will definitely consider them again for used car parts.

Some kind soul had smashed both nearside windows on my grandson's old Fiat Punto that his father had bought him only a couple of weeks earlier Being a young new driver he could not claim on his insurance so we were glad to find the glass available at Howkins through eBay and bought it. Thinking it was a job for an expert we had not thought of fitting it ourselves but thanks to the helpful advice kindly given when collecting the glass we were able to do it ourselves, saving the lad over 200 as quoted for the job.
It fitted perfectly but the only downside was that he had already bought the front window from someone else on eBay which cost him 15 more than one that Howkins had available. Again he was able to fit this one thanks to the advice we got. All round we could not be more pleased. With service like this Howkins deserve all the trade they can get.
