TPS (Trade Parts Specialist)

Post by iAmbu »

Hi all

As I understand it, general members of the public cannot buy parts from TPS (Trade Parts Specialist). Is there a way around that? I get the impression VW parts are cheaper from them compared to VW dealers.

Thanks

Likewise, Manchester seem to be alright. But get 12.5% at the dealers anyway, so its evens for me.

I use them to get bits now but the one near me is tight and won't discount anything. A message on the wall next to the counter says discounts only avaiable to trader orders. :-(
