Anyone know if this place operates at all. been trying to ring for the last week, all i am getting is a faxDo they have a new number or still closed for the xmas break. or maybe theres another dealer around here that would like to take my money.

Relax dude. You have been trying to cantact him over Xmas. what else would you expect other then silence?

Mick motors closed its doors from Dec 24th and will reopen on the 14th January 09.

I would take it as a guess with george at classic being a family man and all. He may be taking some time out with his family as well .

when you do eventually get through to him, rest assured you will get the best service available.

yep i know that, just having a bad day today, trying to organise stuff before car arrives and keep hitting brick walls

try some of the other VW shops that advertise in the VWA Magazine...

LEE

xmas just relax

its george hes a very busy man. i was there the other day there were 3 customers wandering around and he had 9 phone call while i was there. i was only there for 15 minutes.

According to a 'flyer' he emailed out to some of his customers before Christmas, he closed down from 24 Dec and reopened his shop today..

Never had a problem either on the phone nor when I walk into the shop. He and the other George are always there happy to help. Yes the phone does ring, and yes he takes the call, but if you give yourselves the time during the day, it's always a pleasant experience.

Come on fellas it is christmas/new year and quite a few places close down to have family time,I realise it is a bit of a bugger when you want something now,but the world isn't going to end if you have to get it elsewhere and there are plenty of other suppliers advertising in the VWMA. I deal with both George at Classic and Mick's along with qite a few other suppliers and find them vey amiable and eager to help,I realise that George is hard to get hold of sometimes but most times if you ring early to mid morning he answers fairly quickly.Happy new year to all and I hope you get the service you want in the future.

Yeah from the classic veedub email they said they would reopen this week.

I've bought parts from Classic and Mick motors several times and have had great service from both parties. I probably mail order through Mick Motors more as I use his website with all the part no's which comes in handy, and I order with the part numbers via email.

I've been in the Classic shop a few times when in Sydney and bought stuff there, and yes he is constantly getting phonecalls from people wanting prices, stocks, ordering and even advice etc.

Everyone goes on holidays this time of the year its expected in the motor trade.

My bug stopped in QLD on the 2nd Jan and it wont be home till mid next week due to chrissy hols, have to wait for a car carrier company to bring him home. I'm not worried these things happen. It's that time of the year can't be helped.

What's the old saying don't worry be happy.

never started this to flame any stores, wanted to find out if anyone knew if he was closed for chrissy still. still trying still fax machine.have purchased from them before always had great customer service and quick delivery.and still will if i ever get throughBut in the mean time found all the stuff i need for the time being from clip1. resonable delivery and prices for a U.S store. so all is good

I m curious. GST on imports?

Newt

I buy stuff all the time from the states, never had i ever payed any extra for gst or duty. Just keep the amount below $1000 . Unless i am missing some info, and things have changed in the last couple of months

Nothing better to do ? Where are all Lee's posts, his experiences were relevant, not particularly flattering of Classic, but still no less relevant.

Except when its by an administrator

General Chit Chat?

General bitching?

Or specific topical conjecture.

I took part in the "General Chit Chat" spirit of things. I thought that was what these threads were supposed to be about? Is babysitting (editing) really required?
