Got TC card. No problems getting TC parts at Northampton Vx 

[minifreek]

I don't have a TC card but get the TC discount from Vx in Wigan

[steve6367]

I would need a 'I should but just have not got around to it' option

[omega3000]

I had to save up for a Lamb joint instead  

So you don't see spending £25 as a saving? Or, an investment, so to speak. ...?

Seriously , yes its worth the money though . Ill just order bits through someone else who has one when needed

   I have a TC., local garage used to accept but have dropped out now.

Cutting their own throats springs to mind  A sale is a sale , they just seem to be pushing out joe blogs sales

If they are incapable of supplying the correct parts, why the surprise at falling TC sales

That's doesn't seem entirely fair, to me at least.  Customers are supposed to be in the trade. Car clubs, of which oof is one, as is Abs, are an exception. But fitting the bulk buy approach, in theory.

Tc isn't available to Joe Bloggs anyway. Hence the membership fee, etc....

[TheBoy]

The reasons that most dealers lost TC comes from the results of a survey sent to TC members about 18 months ago. The results were that people wanted more deliveries and better stock holdings (amongst other things). Thus, dealers had to commit to a certain number of vans and certain stock levels to stay in. Many were unable to withstand the financial burden this imposed.

Nail on the head, TB. Although i don't know anyone who was asked by Trade Club what they wanted!

Shortly, all membership joining and renewals will be on line as the whole website is undergoing a major revamp. Test emails are going out to check for any bugs at this time but no date yet for launch. Those of you who are already members will know of the bit of faff with joining the forum. That will all go with automatic forum access after the activation email confirming details

Too right - in the 3 years I was a member, I never got access, despite many requests  .  Glad its now being sorted

Good stuff Keith. Needs sorting.

I'd suggest oof members would benefit from your help. Access to tc dealers aside, non of the poll options are reasonable, given the savings on diy servicing.

[Delroy47]

 I have recently used my TC, every little helps. TC still available at main dealers in Luton
