The majority of parts come with a six-month warranty and even the hassle of shipping is sorted, with free delivery on most items."

The company sells used car and motorcycle parts on ebay in the UK. Synetiq aims to catalogue and describe each part to ensure accurate searches. With 150,000 components online now, and up to 10,000 new items added every month, it's a treasure trove for car enthusiasts, hobby mechanics, restorers and even modifiers.

Prices start at just £5, and the majority of parts are listed as buy it now items.

Although well known for servicing the UK auto repair trade, Synetiq's used vehicle parts are also available for purchase by private customers and, with a growing number of vehicle makes and models processed each month.

In addition to buying genuine and inspected used parts for a lot less than the brand new equivalent, buyers are also helping the environment and lowering CO2 emissions by fitting parts that have already been manufactured.

Supercars and luxury saloons are just as much a part of the inventory as more common vehicles and in the last 12 months alone, engines and drivetrains from Bentley, Maserati, McLaren and Porsche have been sold for re-use alongside the more popular items such as door mirrors and lamp clusters for family cars from Ford, SEAT and Vauxhall.

Dave Bradley, ecommerce manager at Synetiq said "The sale of parts through ebay has really taken off over the last few years, but we saw a phenomenal jump during the first lockdown in 2020. With people at home, and spare time on their hands, they cracked on with repairing or upgrading their cars. We're seeing sales grow every month and are working to add even more parts to the store every week."
