A great service start to finish
Bought rear seats for my fiesta ST. I was struggling to get all the brackets and seatbelts that had been stripped out, and after contacting dougie from the garage he went out of his way and got everything I needed including a few other parts at a good price for almost new seats and they were dispatched the next day.
Good price and will definitely recommend

Bought a mirror for a Transit Courier, reasonable price, dealt with Dougie who was very helpful and had great communication skills. Very fast delivery, no complaints.

Ordered engine for the mini cooper, it arrived timely and some initial issues with engine, rectified with the stuff, however it come with small oil leak on drive shaft seal and bad airflow sensor, finding the faulty sensor, took deep investigation, suggestions would be check throughly after the item received, they r very helpful. Overall very good engine although buying the second hand engine is always risky and expect some issues like that.

The turbo on my 2014 Ford Transit Custom failed and caused damage to my engine.
I purchased a replacement engine from Clydeside Auto Recyclers that was described to me by “Mac” as a full engine with low miles in good condition. When it arrived, my mechanic said many parts had to stripped from my failed engine to allow the replacement to be fitted, including parts and sensors. This greatly increased the cost of the estimated labour.
After installing said engine (described by my mechanic as “it’s been sitting for a while”) an oil leak was discovered. This was revealed to be caused by a cracked engine block. I attended the garage to take photos as recommended by my mechanics and have attached a photo I took on the day. The orange mark was applied by Clydeside before the engine was dispatched by them and is meant to be used for warranty claims, showing the engine was indeed sold by them. The mark is millimetres from the large crack in the engine, which they state they never seen and was heavily leaking oil after fitting. My mechanic has stated this engine is not fit for purpose. Clydeside would only consider a financial responsibility if I return the engine to them. This would mean labour costs that they were not willing to contribute to.
After spending £1700 to have an engine replaced and £2200 to purchase the engine (including a swap of my faulty unit). I could not afford to repeat the process again!

Do not buy an engine from Clydeside!

My credit card company could not help as the replacement engine would need to be returned to facilitate any refund.

Financial disaster for me!

Asked for price of 3 rear Headrests got an instant reply I was happy with said price so I agreed, I then received a message with pictures to confirm that the selected ones were a match for my interior. Then after payment was made delivery was VERY fast. Now in my car and I’m very happy with the service I received from Dougie. @ Clydeside Auto Recyclers.

I cannot say enough about how great these guys are. I needed a pair of rear light units for my car and wasn't able to find any anywhere. I called after seeing their advert on eBay and within 30 minutes they had sent me clear photos of the lights they had available so that my garage could check they were correct. I ordered and they arrived first thing the following morning. Would absolutely recommend these guys for anything you need. Absolutely amazing service! Thank you so much
