Trade Club?
« on: 03 August 2008, 12:57:34 »

I seen a couple of post with the above mentioned.

What is this club, how do you join, what are the benefits?

And, does it involve funny handshakes?

No funny handshakes involved!

Benefits are big discounts on parts

Got water pump for £10 less, auxilary belt £10 less, and 2 sensors for £15 less each.

etc etc

is that the same discounts as with the autobahnstormers one?

mine's autobahnstormers, £20 a year, my card came even before they cleared my payment, and the benefits are HUGE reductions on parts, you get your membership money back in savings on your first purchase!

replaced a rear shock on my elite and saved about £45 on the part, if i'd not had the trade card, would NOT have been a good buy!!

All VBOA clubs, after an initial delay, can provide TC cards.

ABS is generally the recommended one, due to speed of delivery, some Omega relevence, and the fact they do not mind OOF members joining purely for card.



VxON provide TC card and Halfords card, though seem to be desperately slow to send out.  Halfords ones are normally easy to blag anyway.

No, we have no plans to become a VBOA club.

Why? We would have to jump through a lot of hoops, and charge membership.  Our view is, if the member has to pay, may as well pay another club, such as ABS, and let them deal with the management of the cards, and the beaurocracy of VBOA ;)

Varies wildly. Around 80% of some bulbs, to sod all off other parts.  No trade price lists available, so you have to ask each time.
