Automotive Courier

First Choice Transportation Ltd is an automotive courier for garages, dealers, parts suppliers and fleet operators: the part that has a vehicle off the road, collected within 30 to 45 minutes across London, within the hour UK-wide, and driven direct to the workshop, 24 hours a day. From £40 for the first 10 miles plus VAT. Call 020 8202 2008.

Car Parts Courier

Our car parts courier work is built around one fact: a vehicle off the road costs its owner money by the hour. Parts come from the main dealer, the motor factor, the breaker or the body shop’s paint supplier, and they are needed at the workshop now, not on tomorrow’s van round. One driver, one vehicle, driven direct, signed for at the parts counter.

Car Parts Delivery

Car parts delivery by dedicated van covers everything from a sensor in a padded envelope to an engine on a pallet:

  • Parts from main dealers and motor factors to independent garages and body shops
  • Body panels and glass from suppliers to repairers, carried flat and secured
  • Engines, gearboxes and axles on pallets between suppliers, rebuilders and workshops
  • Keys, documents and V5s between dealers, finance companies and customers
  • Fleet and hire-company parts to depots and roadside recovery sites
  • Classic and specialist parts from breakers and specialists to restorers

Same Day Car Part Delivery

Same day car part delivery is the difference between a vehicle back on the road this afternoon and a bay blocked until tomorrow. The driver collects from the supplier, dealer or breaker, checks the part against the invoice, and goes straight to the workshop. For jobs that cannot wait even that long, see our urgent courier service.

What We Need From You

  • Supplier address and the invoice or order number for the driver to quote at the counter
  • Workshop address and who to hand the part to
  • What the part is and its size, so we send a car, a long wheelbase van or a Luton
  • Whether the part is fragile (panels, glass) or heavy (engines, gearboxes)

Send it on WhatsApp 07507 612919 or call 020 8202 2008; the job is booked once you confirm the price.

Rules That Apply

Panels and glass are carried flat or upright as the supplier packs them and secured so nothing rests on them; heavy units travel on the pallet or stand they are supplied on. The driver checks the part number on the invoice against the label before leaving the supplier, so a wrong pick is caught at the counter rather than at the workshop.

Automotive Courier FAQ

How much does a car parts courier cost?

The same rate as every job: £40 for the first 10 miles then £1.25 per mile in a car or small van, or £60 then £1.80 per mile in a long wheelbase or Luton van for panels, engines and gearboxes, plus VAT, measured from supplier to workshop. A 25-mile parts run in a small van is £58.75 plus VAT.

How fast can you get a part to our workshop?

The driver is at the supplier within 30 to 45 minutes of booking across London and the Home Counties, or within the hour elsewhere, and goes straight to you. Across London that usually means the part is on your bench within two to three hours. Tell us the deadline when you call 020 8202 2008 and we confirm it.

Can you carry an engine or gearbox?

Yes, in a Luton van, on the pallet or engine stand it is supplied on. Tell us the weight when you book so the vehicle has the payload for it, and whether there is a forklift or tail lift at each end. One driver comes with the van, so for heavy units someone at each end helps with loading.

Do you collect from main dealers and motor factors?

Yes. Give us the dealer or factor, the invoice or order number and the account name, and the driver quotes it at the parts counter, checks the part number on the label against the invoice, and signs for it. If the part is wrong or missing, the driver phones you from the counter before leaving.

Can you deliver to a roadside or recovery site?

Yes. Give us the location as precisely as you can (what3words works) and the recovery driver’s phone number, and our driver calls ahead. The van is GPS tracked and our operators keep you updated on the way. The handover is signed and photographed like any other job.

Do you carry windscreens and body panels?

Yes, in a long wheelbase or Luton van so they travel flat or upright as the supplier packed them, secured so nothing rests on them. The driver checks for damage before accepting the panel and photographs the condition at both ends, so any dispute with the supplier is settled by the pictures.
