Inquired about a drivers door mirror for my VW Golf, Reclamet team got back to me very promptly to say they had one and in colour!!Many photos showed the mirror as it was with a few blemishes to the coloured cover. Swapping over was quite easy, used my existing cover as it had fewer marks. Keep the Reclamet one aside in case I decide to get it repainted. Came across them from the guys at Salvage Rebuilds, will use Reclamet if / when the need arises. Arrive very well packaged. Excellent service.

Cathie Willis

What a great find! This business is amazing. We needed a couple of parts for our 2009 Freelander which is still in great condition but the parts are no longer in production. The girls in the office are super efficient, providing as many options as they possibly can to assist. We are local so we could visit in person but the delivery service would be just as efficient. Great rates and so very knowledgeable and helpful...can't recommend highly enough

Brilliant salvage company, Rang on Friday afternoon, very friendly and helpful staff. Car collected first thing Monday morning. Notified on the day of ETA, driver arrived on time and was very friendly and efficient. Money in bank within a few hours. Driver completed yellow slip & I notified DVLA immediately after. Would definitely recommend.

Purchased a Jaguar XF and dealt with Ollie at Reclamet it has been an incredibly easy purchase and although initially there was a problem Ollie has been pleasant and professional throughout - I would highly recommend purchasing a vehicle from reclamet and dealing with Ollie 😊

I’ve just visited reclamet as I just bought a new car. I needed a part to be able to fit my radio and the person behind the counter was very helpful and friendly. They found the part I was looking for quickly and at a good price. This was great customer service and I’d recommend coming here for any part requirements for your car.
