How do I get hold of a trade card?

I've an oil change coming up and I got a price of €38.00 for genuine gm oil (not from my regualar opel dealer) Would I be able to get one as my dad knows the boss at the dealer I normaly go to.

They do. I seen a sign for them last time I was there.

I recommend you join:

www.autobahnstormers.co.uk

at a cost of just £20, for which you get a trade card that gets you discounts at many Vx dealers, maybe their own discounts as well, plus it helps to get a Halfords Trade Card if you speak to their branch managers nicely!!

Over the last year I have recouped my £20's many times over!!

Sorry, I completely forgot you are 'overseas'!

According to the ABS rules you can use the TC in over 400 Vauxhall dealers, with no mention of restrictions on where those Vx dealers are. 8-) 8-)  If you have Vx main dealers in ROI, I don't see why they wouldn't accept the ABS TC.

Sounds like a polite word in someones shell like might sort it out

I have e-mailed the Secretary of the ABS to find out where the TC can be used!

[Sad]

I really should send off my ABS form...

There wont be Vx dealers in ROI,they will be Opel dealers,could nip over the border but its quite a way from Dublin.
It is possible that ABS also have an arrangement with Opel  :-/

Isn't Opel for left hand drive models, so ROI is Vx RHD territory? :-? :-?

Opels are RHD here. Must be just made as vauxhall with an opel badge stuck on

Right, thanks, that does surprise me. Just seems a bit illogical.  

I have now had an answer back from ABS, and the chap I "spoke" to recommends you send an e-mail to Dave Waddington who apparently organises the ABS TC on:

secretary@autobahnstormers.org

and ask him if Opel in the ROI will accept their TC.

Made me think now...my father many years ago had an Opel ascona.

Normal left hand drive and was a standard sale from Vauxhall dealer.....wonder why they were selling Opel's and not badged as vauxhall.
