Who has a half decent VX Parts Department?
« on: 21 March 2007, 12:22:01 »

My bad day seems to be getting worse....

I am looking for a small and - to vauxhall - insignificant - part to compelte my vetra v6 rebuild.

My local dealer ( evans Halshaw) cant find it on there computer ( no surprise there)

My other 3 local places are reg vardy owned and " the reg vardy group dont stock the part"

So i am onto plums.

Can anyone here help me out by maybe getting it and posting it onto me?

I can supply part number and (over)payment via paypal of cash in advance..... ;)

If theres anyone able to help - without going out there way too much - can they pm me ( btw the part is only a junction pipe!)

Thanks

Andrew - Thanks - appreciate your input on this one  :) seems like Ross has got a good un with regards to his dealer.....

How come i seem to have the worst batch of vx dealers nationwide - i spoke with 4 of them this morning and got attitude and blase approach to assisting me...Ross is even more "remote" than me and his dealer can oblige.....Reg Vardy were so up themselves that they boasted that "the group" dont stock or hold this part" well 'scuse me but i only phoned you Mr Reg Vardy because the vauxhall website have you as my 2nd, 3rd and 4th nearest "dealer"

Ross I owe you one  ;) Andrew - again - Thanks for your kind offer  ;)

No worries mate - that's what we're here for!

It seems that you are somewhat saddled with poor dealers.  Maybe Vaux should take away the Reg Vardy franchise or at the very least make them improve their customer service.  Afterall,  it is the after sales service that makes a dealer good or bad and, by definition, the parent company.

Still, with that rant over, I hope you get it sorted.

Reg Vardy = Pendragon = Crown Hill = Speeds = Williamson = CD Bramall = Altwood = Lex Services = Evans Halshaw

All the same group (Pendragon), all paying peanuts, all employing monkeys....so basicaly, you have visited the same outfit each time....

Yes, will agree with the comments about Pendragon.

I (and other Credit Managers) know of Pendragon well enough..... ;)

Markie, if you have any problems, drop me a PM, I am sure I can get you another part...  :)

Markie, bit out of your way really but Vaux Monorep in Southall here I have found to be excellent!!!

I have been 'setup' on their computers... so when i went back without the card a few weeks later got TC prices  :)

Also they are the only garage i found that had stocked Senator oil filters!!  :o

All in all very good, even get a nice Vx bag and they help you to your car when your buying massive quantities of Anti-free and oil  :D

Bridge in Banbury are usually very accomodating. Don't stock much, but always willing.  Shame I hate Banbury so much....

Markie, I'll help, I'll just have to head to my local Evans Halshaw garage in Aird.....no...

Of course, how silly of me...I'll pop down to the Vauxhall garage in Motherwell, oh wait, that's Reg Vardy and it's the worst garage in the world! :o
