Don't really understand why anyone uses them as opposed to their cheaper division...Car Parts 4 Less?
Do they have any stores? The battery in my other car got run flat, and I was able to run out and get a discounted battery from euro car parts and get it fitted within 30 mins! Can't do that with an online store
Just trying to help, as many people don't seem to know that exactly the same items can be had at CP4L much cheaper, free delivery. I am nothing to do with motor trade!
You're right - CP4L have no shops, and so perhaps can be cheaper? However I live a minimum 2 1/4 hr round trip from nearest ECP...and then there's the Q!
My local factors seem to keep very little in stock for an Ed 30.
TPS is about 1 hr round trip away (Carrs/Helston VW), and generally
not at all helpful. I tend to buy VW thru Lookers at Blackpool on my way to/from work - their parts dept are recommended.
I tend to plan maintenance, then buy service consumables in"bulk" and stock them myself (e.g. have 2 sets of plugs and 2 sets filters, and a spare set of pads for my BBK atm!). Also carry a "used but good" PCV/DV/HP fuel p/p etc! After all we are talking about a 120K, Ten year old car.
My battery was changed at first sign of it starting to fail, well before it let me down
Breakdowns are harder, but we have a couple of spare cars
...otherwise there would be no groceries - we are on the Tesco blacklist since their van got stuck; Morrisons ripped their van side open on the gate posts!
- the joys of rural living!
