Mister Auto gone?

Has a message saying the website and services are unavailable and that they're working on it.

Try Autodoc instead, although you can't get it sent to PM for free anymore. They have a ridiculous £28 delivery charge to Ireland. UK and NI is either free or max £8. I emailed them asking why is it so expensive and would they look at the cost of shipping to Ireland post Brexit. They said they would review the situation in 2021, maybe more Irish customers should email them as they are a great seller but nobody will pay £28 for delivery.

The price of the stuff might be cheaper?

Why try them if their delivery is so expensive?

Sometimes it works out well when you can dig down for the specific brand of part you want. ...and you're not in any rush.

I found them hit and miss at the best of times. You'd order a more expensive brand of part and they send you whatever brand they have in stock.

I've started using motorparts.ie and have found them great so far. Good prices, fast delivery and they are an Irish company.

I have recently purchased a pair of shock absorbers on mister-auto. ie for a very good deal.

It must be a brexit thing. I was waiting for disks and pads to be delivered early in the new year and they cancelled my order without notice. Can't order again from them now as they are not accepting orders from IE/UK. (The contential sites versions display no warnings on them)

They were a couple of hundred cheaper than Irish sites for decent brands.

Any other recommendations? Have tried the mentioned sites, they either have only some obscure brand in stock or are really expensive.

Have you tried Amazon? That's where I've been getting pads and discs recently (Brembo, Ferodo, Febi) and sometimes if you're lucky and there's only one set in stock it may be heavily discounted).

Amazon deducts the UK VAT in the checkout and adds IE VAT along with an estimate of the import charges for collection.

Also try GSF, Otto, Eurocarparts etc.

Actually lads didn't realise autodoc was a German company so I've just put in an order with them. Was worried about buying from a UK site with customs etc.



Even with the €30 shipping my order was €40 cheaper than misterauto! Deadly thanks for the help

Was thinking autodoc shoukd have better stock and usually better prices than mister auto... For anyone else looking at autodoc, the app is always cheaper than the dodgy looking websites, they have that constant sale type of marketing but 38% is usually the max discount on the app.

The app sends notifications when the 'sale' % changes. I just save stuff in the basket and then usually once a week or so the 38% sale comes around. If more people send them emails about the postage costs they might actually see a market here and have more competitive postage. £28 is a sickener.

There no customs changes with mister auto. Order good 5 or 6 times from mister auto over last year and no customs fees
