I understand. But sometimes its difficult to 'black list' one company because the service can vary for other people.
For example, i have read alot of slagging off towards JustKampers, but my experience has alwas been positive. Although i have only bought minor service parts and curtain rails the deliveries were on time, postage costs were resonable and product quality good.
On the otherhand, SSP were useless. Constantly getting my orders wrong both online and by the phone. I will not shop there again but im sure other people will.
GSF are ok, but it depends on who you speak too. Not everyone who works there is a Vdub specialist. I needed some head to heat exchanger gaskets. Although they were only a quid each, they wanted £8 postage! Not a big problem tho, as its only down the road from me and i go to Birmingham all the time.
By far the worst people iv come across are ?????? Bugger i cant remember their name
Volks-something.
They are a volkswagen breakers based in Birmingham, off the M5. They are usually at the big shows selling 2nd hand parts tipped in boxes etc... They always have the thing i need, but at stupid prices. £15 for a type4 timing mark that you can but brand new for £10. The same for the grill that goes over the pulley/fan. £12 for a filthy radio blanking plate missing the rear part. £30 for a steering column cowl for a late bay...and this one was butchered! They dont even haggle.
Machine7 are by far the best. Although they are a bit pricy, their service is the best. I usually like to drive to the shop as its not too far. The lads are always helpfull and know what they are talking about.
