Any good?

I've just received an email and their prices seem reasonable.

Apparently they quote OE parts, when in fact (some of) the parts have just past the factory where OE parts are made when they're being delivered to your house

I have used them on numerous occasions,and never had any issues with the parts supplied, the genuine parts have always been hologramed,as they should,and the oe stuff no problems.

There was some issues a few years back,with GM genuine parts,that GM said were oe, but the Germans took them to court,and proved otherwise.

Iv used Autovaux on many occasions when I had my Vec B, never had a single problem with them...

They could get the proper GM parts that the local dealers couldn't supply...

Looks similar to trade prices. I'd check, but they've managed to make the TC web site even worse than it was. The half wits...

Autovaux have a habit of claiming their pattern parts are made by the same people who made OE parts (though not always necessarily make that part for GM).  They usually do this in such a way that you're lead to believe you are buying a genuine part but without the packaging.  A bit dishonest IMHO.

Additionally, they have definitely sold me non genuine parts as genuine on multiple occasions.  Getting refunds for these can be a PITA, as they purposely don't make it easy.

That's all well and good if you have TC, and your local dealer does TC.  ::)  My local dealer has in the past sold me oil at TC price, but the last time I went in they didn't have any in group stock and didn't know when they were getting any more.  :(
