Hi there, wanted to start a thread with websites for parts and you opinions on the speed of service, ease of communication, the price of the item and the quality of the product, does it match the description?
I dont know if this has already been done, but I cant find it.
I haven't purchased anything from them yet, but their proces seem reasonalbe and the quality of the product looks good.
Thanks
Stuart

awaiting the political B***S*** about negative dealings with suppliers/workshops... will work if ONLY the positive experiences are mentioned though, keep it in mind when posting guys, sucks but thats the way it happens on here 👎

Well the threads working well isnt it??
Looks like Classic Vee Dub are going to make a fortune.....
I found Wolfsburgwest excellent. They have quality products an know what they are talking about.
Cheers, Greg

Happy Daze,
How did you create an account with them? Wolfsburg west I mean.
I dont think i want to ring Germany, or where ever it is to get my parts.
How did you go about it??
HappyDaze ·
I dealt with Wolfburgwest though Steve Muller (Kombi Rescue). Steve has an account there, and it suited me to buy through Steve, as he knows much more about VWs than I do - didn't want to end up with the wrong bits. W.West are in USA, not Germany.
Cheers, Greg

I like to use wolfsburg automotive in vic. He is not the cheapest but you have a good chance of getting the right part and the quality will be the best avilable. Mick motors is just down the road from me, but i find you need to check the part your self before buying! They have very good prices and survice but.... Ill pay the shipping fee from VIC to QLD

ive used most of them with no problems.

Have ordered rebuild parts from the store below, they were very helpfull, and postage from the US was very reasonable. Worth a look at their site.
- parts arrive within a week.
- the website is easy to navigate and loaded with useful information.
- excellent communication.
- spend enough Euros, and CSP throws in a huge hardcover parts catalogue (pity I can't read German!) 🙂
- use the website to get the phone number and the address.
- great to look @ real parts, rather than images on a monitor.
- fantastic service.
- some cool looking cars in the workshop.

Great site - added to my ever growing list of people to deal with ...cheers!

Hi
I've been told that CB Performance have very high freight prices, I needed some Dellorto jets, 16 jets for $20 in freight which I think is reasonable.

WOLFSBURG [owner of EMPI trademark] automotive in VIC
have very good quality stuff... they get a lot made to their specs
[also owner of the wolfsburg crest..]
and I have tp pay for shipping from anywhere... lol
that seems OK for freight Steve
one company selling distributors can send it anywhere in the world for $30us from memory..
others are $80US..
My Son was ordering some stuff from the USA and I asked him to get Me a couple of tail lamp lenses ..
He said it was going to cost an extra $60US...
So I didn't get them... lol
I found CIP1 very expensive in freight...
can't remember cb performance .. but their prices made up for the freight difference. lol
I just looked at samba today and found some auto beetle parts I've been looking for...
I wouldn't have enough sheds or a big enough house to store My vw parts if I lived over there... lol
sorry I'm drooling again...😂

Here's my 2 cents
Wolfsburg in Vic. Gary is a top bloke, great advice, great service. Parts are full price but who can blame them?
Mick Motors- great range, good advice and typically the lowest price. Posts quickly.
Aus VW Performance Centre in Vic - good advice and service - but don't always have the range. My preferred over the counter supplier.
Eastern Suburbs Engineering - got onto them via this site and have bought a full set of Autostick running gear and acessories. Coordinating transaxle delivery by courier was interesting! Peter from there is great and seems to have every second hand part under the sun.
From the USA, I have bough from cip1.com and airheadparts.com. Both good and well priced, great range, but then you take it in the exhaust pipe in shipping charges. Parts arrived within 2 weeks in both cases.

Hi
I just got a freight quote from CB for a CB Performance Quick Tune EFI Kit, about $400, seems OK.

I have found the usual great support from our local dealers and would prefer to support them where I can. Over the years as I have travelled around Australia, all the names and businesses mentioned have been good. I have recently had some excellent service from ISP WEST California, they traced some good quality second hand parts not available here in Australia.

Don't forget the big ones such as Scat or Gex. I haven't had any dealing with Gex but Scat has a huge following in the V8 circles, their VW stuff is just as good quality wise, in my opinion.

avoid gex mate, just go on one of the american forums and search for them nothing but bad stories.

I saw no mention of vw parts.net anybody had dealings with them.

anyone know what the go is with classic veedub atm not answering phone at all i placed an order online 2 months ago still havent recieved it tried email aswell no reply 😵💫

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but that's par for the course!! Best bet:
- Start calling at 8:55am and give up at 9:05am, which will be great from Perth.
- Your order will be arriving next week ...... Wednesday
- Alternatively a container has just arrived and he's unpacking it ....... unfortunately your parts weren't in that container ....... but there's another due, next week ......... on Wednesday
- I'm sure if you can get into the store George is great, but for those of us interstate the online experience is the most painful ever.
From my experience if the payment hasn't gone through and you can cancel the order do so. There are others who provide fantastic service and support with quick and reliable turnaround times.
Good luck!!

Mick Motors have always been a help to me. Talk to Mick or Ross - bulk buy gets you deals. 👍

Have used Mick Motors recently for some parts and they were great. A great range of products and good service.
binner ·
Errrrrrrrrr,what about Al at Das Resto..BurleighHeads
Mick Motors, fast, usually has the part you need and is helpful....
CIP1 is my go to
I would never order off ScAT again due to freight costs and bullshit correspondence ......
