External Suppliers (Businesses We Find For You)

If none of the suppliers in our network can help with your enquiry, we may go and look further afield and send you the contact details of one or more other businesses — scrapyards, strippers or parts dealers who are not part of the Engine Finder network. We call these External Suppliers. Here is exactly what that means:

We don't give them your details. We only tell them what part you are looking for, for which vehicle, and roughly which area you are in. Your name, phone number and email stay with us. Their details go to you, and it's your choice whether to make contact.

They are not vetted or recommended by us. We have no business relationship with them, we have not checked their stock or their workmanship, and passing on their details is not an endorsement of any kind.

Anything you agree with them is between you and them. We are not part of that deal, we earn nothing from it, and we cannot take responsibility for money lost, faulty parts, parts that never arrive, or anything you were told that turns out not to be true.

We never buy, hold or sell the part. Engine Finder never takes ownership of an engine, gearbox or any other part, never has it in our possession, and never sells it to you. We introduce you to the business that has it — the sale is theirs, and so is the responsibility for it.

We are not paid to show you any particular supplier. We take no commission and no referral fee on anything you buy, and no supplier can pay to be put in front of you. Our income comes from the monthly subscription our registered suppliers pay for lead access — whether or not you ever buy anything.

Before you pay anyone, check them out yourself. Never pay a deposit for a part you have not seen, or to a business you have not verified.
