Never tried FCP. I get mine from PelicanParts , Bavarian Auto and of course Maximillian Parts . Very satisfied service from these 3 part vendors .

Yeah and the phone system is same one the IRS and county tag office use, they don't answer without 10 prompts, and if you hit zero, it starts the 60 second intro again. Designed to put us in our place, 'who's in charge?' They are!
And you can't email without loading car make model vin and on and on.
These folk don't want to talk to anyone...
I've used FCP Euro over the years. Always had good service, did have a problem with an incorrect part shipped once but they handled it well. One of the vendors I use, always reliable.
Not sure if that helps you but I like them.

I like FCP too, they're helpful. I've never used their automated phone system, I always try to avoid those lines.
I'd suggest dropping them an email, that's usually worked best for me. Seems to find a real person every time, although it takes a day or two.
Save the manuals!

lol - it is, but a relevant topic.
Now that Bav is going my three are FPC, Pelican and Maximilian. I'm generally going to give those last two, especially Maximilian, a shot at anything I'm buying. Paul and Saul at Max are great, and they know our old cars pretty well and can suggest money-saving alternatives, so I think it is important for people like us to support people like them. (I have a bunch of stuff on the way for my oldest spawn's X5 from Max)
But all three have treated me well.
