Why Buy From R-Tec?

Nothing compares to seeing / touching your purchase in real life

Most companies come across as if they have the parts in stock, but really they wait for your order then order the part from the supplier to them and then send it on to you. Our superstore in St Albans offers the chance to compare it to the numerous other great products in our store and gives you the opportunity to take it home the same day! No waiting in for days and days for your purchase to be delivered and chancing things to delivery companies that promise delivery times.

We are committed to giving the best price and service

In the unlikely event you've seen the price cheaper at an online retailer or a store, we offer an unrivalled price match system. Surely you would prefer to buy from a reputable store instead of a online bedroom seller?

What happens if something goes wrong? We pride ourselves on being there for you

We are not just at the end of an email address that might go unanswered! We have our superstore based in St Albans, Hertfordshire. We are always on the phone or you can come to our store. Open from 9.30am - 5.30pm Monday to Saturday.

We always aim to offer the best customer service

Many companies promise this, but few see it through. We try and install the importance of first rate customer service as a priority from day one when a new staff member joins the business, with the promise that if we do something wrong we'll do our very best to rectify it.

We are the No1 authorised retailer for some of the best brands in the car sector

Our St Albans superstore is full to the ceilings and our buyers barely stop in order to secure you the sharpest deals and the biggest choice of all the top names. Don't settle for a cheaply made unbranded product from a shady store, when you can buy a real top brand product from us at literally the same price (or less in many cases!).

We have been here for a while

Unlike other companies which start up offering deals and then close down within a year, we are proud to have had our superstore in St Albans for over 10 years, far outstaying most of our competitors. We also have over 30 years of experience in the modifying industry, due to most of us working for other companies previously.

We offer the best guarantees in the car customising business

Most web sellers are offering products supplied indirectly from the suppliers meaning they are not covered and trusted under the manufactures terms and conditions. We are Authorised sellers for all the products we retail and are recognised by our suppliers. Our products are all backed by the manufactures warranties and if they don’t warranty the product for any reason and we believe it should be warranted, we will try to resolve it.

Full fitting service at our St Albans store

Most people have a mate who’s handy with a spanner, but a lot of the products if fitted incorrectly can be dangerous and affect your vehicles handling. Our superstore in St Albans, Hertfordshire offers a full installation service for the majority of products we offer, all fully installed by our trained technicians. Our fitting is fully backed by our workshop guarantee. If a product fails that we supplied and fitted within the first year, we will remove and re-install free of charge.

Group Buys

If you either run a forum or just have a large circle of friends we offer a group buy service. Please contact us with your request of 10 items or more of the same type of product i.e. 'Eibach Springs for a Ford Focus RS Mk2' and we will offer you a special price for you and your friends depending on the product.

10 or more people will have to purchase the product before the deal will be honored.

Email sales@rtecshop.com with your request. We will then offer you a special price based on 10 or more units.

We are able to take a single collected payment or we can keep track of individual payments. - So you could ask people on a Forum to call up R-Tec and we will take each individuals payments and delivery addresses if need be.
