Hi All,

Just wondered if folk had some decent recommendations for VAG suppliers in the South Manchester area?

Be careful. Check the prices of the parts at the dealer first.

I required a new headgasket for my Skoda and bought one from Andrew Page. To my shock they were just as dear as the dealer (I only found out later :().

I always play them off, I'll make them aware of the price I'm working to, if they can beat it, they get my custom, if not, i go with the cheapest quote.

Page's are dearer for some goods, but it's like most suppliers, you'll save on others. TPS/main dealers are the usual port of call for HG kits IMHO.

What did you expect ? they all *iss in the same pot .
They also think everyone is Joe soap --and thats why their business is doomed to failure .
Thanks for your post - I am another potential customer they have lost .

I was going to use them but then one of their vans cut me up on the M62 and I went elsewhere instead!

Lesson here for you, Mr Page...

Well, they are dealing with me.. and I aint trade.

I first found them a year or so ago when VW parts at Stockport didnt have the part I needed. VW rang TPS and they had it, so VW sent me round to them! (They are literally behind VW).

Im picking more parts up Ive ordered from them on Monday. :-)

Maybe in these 'credit crunching times', they cant afford to be too picky who they sell too!
