UK prices include shipping, which is carried out by Royal Mail Track 48 or DHL Express, both to private homes and offices, at no extra cost. The company also offers support by phone, WhatsApp, email and live chat during office hours.

Guarantee and manufacturing

All fuel caps sold by The Fuel Cap Company are manufactured to OEM standards by its Italian partner Farma Srl, a company founded in 1975 with ISO 9001 certification. Each cap includes a free lifetime replacement guarantee, which the company describes as a endorsement of product quality. The company presents itself as a family-run business and notes that its products are manufactured in Europe in accordance with OEM standards.

History and international reach

The company was founded in 2007 by Mark Smart, following the difficulty of finding a good quality replacement fuel cap for a friend. Since then, it has shipped orders to customers in various countries, including France, Germany, India, Australia and New Zealand, although the UK remains its main market. The company operates from a single UK location and no other locations are mentioned.

Customer reviews

The site collects testimonials from customers who highlight the service received, in particular Mark's help in identifying the right cap, the speed of response and the accuracy of the fit. Several comments mention the use of the Snap and Send feature to verify the order via a photo of the filler neck, as well as receiving orders within one to two days. Customers particularly value the availability of lockable caps for older vehicles and the alternative to official dealerships.
