British Auto Center Ltd

Well here it is these guys make it possible for me to drive a nice car like a LandRover. They have great customer service. Great prices on parts. What else do you want?
My brother used to buy parts for his Austin sprite and he recommended this place. I hope they will be around for a long time.
I drop my discovery off and it’s fixed the first time. I guess that’s All I needed to say. Do not filter me I am an actual customer…

I needed a small part that connects my door handle to the locking door motor on my ’03 Discovery. I called British Auto Center and talked to Michael who was very professional and helpful. He said they would look for the part. It’s a four inch long bar with a four pronged end. He called back about an hour later and said «yes, we have it… you have to buy the whole door handle and it will be $ 127.00.» $ 127.00 for a used door handle?! I can buy a new one from Rover Land Parts for $ 60.00 (
)
Like I said Michael was great but it just doesn’t make sense to be charged so much for a used part. I ended up going to Home Depot… bought a 4″ bolt for .73 and made the part myself.

These guys helped me avoid the dealer more than once on my range rover which saved me tons of $$$!
Any garage work was always great & they had quick turnaround! Can’t ask for more and I give these guys a BIG thumbs up!

I’ve ordered parts from these guys on a few occasions if only because they are one of the only wrecking yards that actually have parts for Jaguars and Land Rovers. After my recent experience I wont be ordering from them any longer.
The last part I ordered was damaged when I picked it up. I called them to inform them of the issue and was instantly met with aggression «I’ll believe it when I see it» is what I was told. Now that is accountability! Try any other wrecking yard or look it up on LKQ.
Use these guys at your own risk!

As I remember, these guys started off in the ‘70s catering to mostly Jaguar and MG owners. Since their partnering with British Atlantic Land Rover (?) I’d hoped BAC would have upgraded their ways, but the truth is, I’m still not sure about this place. It’s hit and miss. If you own a British vehicle, you have pretty much accepted that every morning you awake, you must pay homage to the Solihull or Conventry god just to start your car. And this is the only local place where you can buy parts if the gods answer back with a resounding «No. I will not allow you to start your car this morning. I am very angry with you Human British car-​owning fool.»
Good selection of used and new parts. Prices range from being a complete rip-​off, to fairly reasonable. But don’t expect to get any great deals.
Little known fact: The reason British companies have chosen not to manufacture electronics goods (stereos, cell phones, TVs), is that they could never figure out how to make them leak oil.
