Decent discount here. Needed a new battery for my car, got a great deal on quality part.
Nice one, ordering oil and filters for basic service.
They are always doing this. The price quoted on the main page is more or less fiction, but they'll let you pay it if you forget to put the code in 🙁
I got 60% off my last purchase from them. As Molgrips says, their prices are artificially high so they can offer these fantastic discounts under the guise of Black Friday, Bank Holiday Monday, any random day of the week.
Europarts BF20 for up to 50% discount, looking oil & filter and much cheaper on Europarts.

As Molgrips said, it's not 60% off, it's 60% added to the pre-code price to convince you to buy something today.
I bought the service bits for my car on Tuesday, 20% off IIRC. They're now 60% off and mysteriously come to the same total.
Also it's always "upto ....%", the actual amounts are usually slightly less, and not applied to everything. Which makes a difference when there's several brands of a part for different price points, the price you might actually pay is completely opaque ad they may well have different discounts.
Check the battery you just bought on google, bet you it's the same price pretty much everywhere.
Still a convenient place to buy parts, just don't kid yourself that there's ever actually a sale!
Car parts are continuously in more or less the same level of demand (except batteries in winter etc). So they are made all the time because it's expensive to tool up for a new part, and the car industry is a masterpiece of just-in-time supply. So there are no stockpiles of stuff that need to be cleared or old stuff that's no longer required - consequently all sales are a myth.
Clothes on the other hand - they are cyclical, so they design for a season and order a set amount and take delivery ready to stock up. If these don't sell (or when) then they start to discount them in sales so they don't still have shorts by the time November comes. So they are actually sales. However this is factored into the pricing model - they aim to make a certain amount based on selling 10% at full price to the people who have to have the latest thing; 50% at a lower price as people buy through that season, and the rest at progressively higher levels of discount until it's gone.
As these guys have said... those non-sale prices are ridiculous. £200+ for front unbranded brake pads for my car, when I can get Brembo pads for £120 or unbranded ones for £30 elsewhere
Sale on at DFS too. Probably.
I use 'Carparts4less' it's part of ECP but always cheaper, their stock codes are the same and you can take returns or core charges to ECP without question. It's mail order only though so if you are in a hurry then stick to ECP.
They have the same bullshit random discount code system as ECP as well😏
