Overton, and no they aint good, i got 3 torsion bars for a 205 gti from them, all of which were completely shagged, ended up rebuilding the original one.

it seems 2/3rds of the new price for a part with a 1 month warranty, dont add up to me!

I could be wrong but I think that there pricing policy is 50% of the new price you would pay from the dealer. Anything I ever priced there was around that mark.

Really? Not so great then....

well depends what you are after i suppose, parts of a brand new car will be fine but anything off and old hot hatch for example will more than likely be fit for the scrapper ;)

15 yrs ago they were good anf then about 10 yrs ago they got greedy, but not all their fault I guess.
Insurance companies realised that they needed to get as much money as possible from written off cars and this hiked the prices up somewhat. Ever tried to buy a write off with only body and glass damage...not cheap.

But Overton are still bloody greedy, no doubt there...and they have a poor attitude towards customers.
