Is this the same as joining ABS for a Trade Card?

ABS are £20, I know they are very prompt at getting the cards out...

What was your turn around?

My dealer will not accept the ABS card. Whether they aye just being pillocks or what I dont know.
Managed to get a bit of discount off them but although I prefer using genuine parts the cost of Omega stuff is extortionate at best.

Is there a list of dealers that accept TC.  I rang my local dealer in Rotherham and they hadnt a clue what I was talking about.

ABS state in their joining letter that you in the event of difficulty should get the Vx dealer to contact Mr Jim Williams, Trade Programme Manager at Vauxhall Motors.  The membership at that dealers should be registered under the name of "Autobahnstormers" using Dave Waddingtons address given on the letter.

I trust this helps. :y

I know that there is a discounted items list (not all items are discounted). How will I know which parts are on this list?
Is there any certain discount level or does it vary from part/dealer?

If they participate in TC scheme (see http://www.tradeclub.co.uk - Distrubutors), they accept ABS card.  Sometimes they may need to confirm it.

Slight hiccup with a desk clerk, but sorted (Sheffield)

Emailed the trade club and got access to the price list about 3 hours later.


VODC about 3 /4 day delivery on the welcome pack.

Good investment

Best thing you could do.

Just make sure you double check with the dealers first.  Mine said he could only quote retail prices over the phone, but after the cock up we  agreed (my idea) if I quoted him the Trade Club price he would confirm it.  Once they know me better I am sure it will be a lot better.
