Awesome GTI any good?

Interesting variety of responses.

More or less confirms what I think of them. Quite a friendly bunch of guys to talk to but the management nowadays seems very overly profit orientated - I've heard they set sales quotas. I prefer to be advised honestly and not in relation to making a sale to me whether a product is good for me or not.

This recent fiasco with APR and Revo really puts me off them completely. It's neither APR nor Revo's fault but more the way Awesome have behaved. They like to monopolise.

I would take tony_danza's advice and go where he recommends - He's a geezer who knows what he's talking about and always tells it as it is.

If you were down south I would strongly recommend JKM.

Totally i agree r/r the situation with revo and apr has been disgusting really

i've recently started using VAG Technic in Eccles. Its a smaller place but Dave, the bloke who runs it knows his stuff. Received decent, friendly service

I used them a few times, but won't again... the REVO/APR debacle and "awesome TAX" on products take the biscuit.

Yeah they made a name and now their prices reflect that, 10 mins on google and you can find most stuff cheaper elsewhere

Jim's a nice bloke, I first bought something off him when he was trading out of a shed, before he moved to School Lane.

Back then with Andy from PSI on the tools they were a good outfit. Since moving they've tried to be a cross between a main dealer and Demon Tweeks, with neither the skills nor service to back up their prices.

As for the Revo/APR debarcal, well that just goes to show how desperate they are. No respect for that kind of decision at all, you may as well have slapped your customer around the face as you took their money. Disgusting.

Awesome have always done right by me, had my RSC cat fail on its MOT a few months back, no issues they changed it foc and let me have a courtesy car for the duration. So to be honest I can't fault them
