TC - simplicity itself !
« on: 11 September 2007, 17:10:17 »
Went to Skurray's, Hillmead, Swindon this afternoon to use the TC for the first time, and after reading some of the problems stated in other threads I was expecting the worst .. never happened !

Guy on the parts counter took one look at the card, said "ahh autobahnstormers - Lotus Carlton is it?".. I said "No Omega Elite" .. he said "nice - you don't need to register as we already have them on the system - what are you after? " .... we went through my list - antifreeze is out of stock, all the rest was there within 5 minutes, and I got a discount on the non-tradeclub bits as well !

Total saving I reckon was about £65 and the card cost £20 !! So more than paid for on its first use.

Well impressed  :)

Had exactly the same at Lookers in Yardley, Birmingham. TC already set up, knowledgable chap and friendly as well!
Tend to find it's a bit hit and miss at other dealers, if you get the right person behind the parts counter your fine.

I now also go in with a list of VX part numbers, makes life easier for everyone!  :y

Now go to Halfords, show them your trade invoice and TC card, and ask the manager nicely if you could have a Halfords TC.

It takes them about five minutes to enter your details onto the computer, and they give you a card there and then.

Eurocar don't give you a card or anything, they just set you up on their computer, again while you wait.

Hillmead parts dept is fine......tho the drove road branch i have found to be more knowledgable.....i think the two parts guys there have probably been working for vx since day1  ;D Tho has to be said Hillmead carry more stock.

Did you ask for antifreeze in 5L or 1L?? Coz if they didnt have any 5L containers.......its only works out to be about £1 more if you buy 5x1L  :y

Thanks for that info .. but seems they have no antifreeze at all .. on backorder at present ... the flush will have to wait a week or two ... with the gearbox fluid change, brake fluid change, front discs & pads, and the full breather clean... I think I have sufficient work to keep me going !! :)

Just hope I don't have to ask too many stupid questions !!
