Default Import Car Parts

Who has used import car parts for timing belt kits and what was the quality like?

Did you pay the price as advertised or did it come out to more than that?

I brought a timing belt kit from them a few weeks back. You pay exactly what is advertised noting the price inc vat plus about £10 p & p.. My specialist advised me to buy from their ,delivery was next day. I also brought a hub which came in next day also.

Used them all the time for Subaru parts and use them now for Nissan parts. Always great service and very fast delivery, can't fault them at all.

used them loads. got a timing belt kit with gate belt for a newage just over a year ago and one for the P1 about 6 months back. don't go for the dayco option, they're not supposed to be very good belts.

spoken to them a few times as well, seem very knowledgeable. Sorted me a genuine restrictor pill, pipes and T piece next day when my old one blew off. top chaps

I've used them for lots of stuff, but not yet a cambelt kit. Price is as it says plus postage, always competitive and fast delivery. All parts are OE or OE spec

Mark @ Import Car Parts is an Impreza owner/enthusiast.

Only used him once, was supposed to be there 5 minutes, as he was closing for the day. Half hour later, maybe longer, I got on my way.

They also sell on eBay which you may / may not be aware of. It’s worth checking the eBay prices versus the ICP website as sometimes there are slight differences e.g. Fuel filters are slightly cheaper on eBay compared to through the main site, not by much but still a saving!

I'm local to these and know Mark well. Top bloke who knows his stuff and very helpful.

Bought quite a few things from him over the years for my motors, and will continue to.
