TPS prices v Main VW Dealer?

[Skyliner33]

Just wondering how much cheaper TPS prices are compared to going through a main dealer? If I can find one that is willing to sell to public.

5%, 10% or more?

Thanks

I've just bought discs and pads for the Polo from TPS, pretending to be from my mates garage. £97 plus VAT retail, £58 plus VAT trade.

Discounts depend on the part. General service parts have a much higher margin than specially ordered Transporter parts.

Which TPS was that? I might give them a call. Last time I went to my local one they would only serve to trade. It's pretty ridiculous how some will and some wont serve public.

I’ve bought oil (years ago) from TPS and as soon as they stopped serving went to Skoda and there was negligible difference in the price.

Shrewsbury. If you speak to Matt, his opinion is that a sale is a sale.

They deliver, but only to their local account holders. No postage options, so I guess any discount for you would be negated by collection costs.
