Can anyone tell me if classicveedub is still in business, please?

I cannot get through to them via email or phone.

Yes, still operating but doesn't like phone calls I think. I was there yesterday.


landfall - June 12th, 2014 at 04:41 PM

Doesn't like business of any sort, me thinks.

Doesn't answer that either.

Wish I could have run my business like that, would have saved a fortune on a phone line and receptionist.

Oh well, $1,000 of spare parts to be ordered some where else.

Go to Vintage, better parts, better service, better knowledge, and they answer thier phones


landfall - June 13th, 2014 at 05:29 PM

Thank you, mattberry, I have emailed them with a list of parts and will await there reply, hopefully.

I can't believe the standard of service so called Older VW businesses consider appropriate.

The only VW specialist here in Hobart doubles the price of everything? Usual excuse, freight chargers, I don't want my parts to come via Qantas business class.

Wassim from Vollks gives better customer service and better prices and easier web site to follow!


landfall - June 14th, 2014 at 07:28 AM

Thanks Joe,

Was able to get some parts there, others were out of stock.

They are actually a little dearer than Heritage but the delivery cost to Tasmania is half.

Thanks again.

Ken:)

hi Ken, I'm curious whether just kampers do there free postage deal to Tasmania. Give that a try sometime, might be worth your money and I can't recommend them enough.


landfall - June 14th, 2014 at 09:00 AM

Thanks for that, nils.

Yes they do for orders over $250 and they have the items I am looking for.

Wouldn't good business owners monitor forums to see what the general public are saying and
as a result lift there game???.:no:


landfall - June 14th, 2014 at 06:43 PM

One would like to think so:crazy: but I seriously have my doubts.

I have basically given everybody listed a try at getting some business and the majority are simply not interested in answering emails or are overcharging for the same brands?

Must be a lot of vee dub owners out there is they can get away with this sort of service and still be in business.

Rustbucket68 - June 14th, 2014 at 07:20 PM

Glad I'm not the only one that cant get hold of them. So much for their returns policy...they wont answer the phone or reply to emails...no more business from me


landfall - June 16th, 2014 at 09:12 PM

OK, just a quick report.

After numerous emails and phone calls I am happy to report that the following businesses recommended by the members here are as good as they claim

vintageveedub
vollks
just kampers
and cbperformance

vw heritage should also get a mention, but there freight costs are over the top.

Wolfsburg west is great too.

And I can't recommend Das Resto on the Gold Coast enough. Always super super quick service and great knowledge. I've even called up looking to spend thousands, and rather than spin me shit to sell me somehting, he pointed me in the direction to get what suited my needs better.

I've also had great dealings with Leons Motos at Salisbury QLD (although he kept my stock splindle when he set up my beam and drop spindles, I didnt realise til a year later though, so thats on me too, haha), Airkeld from USA are great, as are Justkampers, Vollks and Matt Berry who was kind enough to send through some odds and ends when I needed them.

There are so many great VW suppliers, please dont support the shit ones.


h - June 17th, 2014 at 11:44 AM

yep I agree Al and Steve at Das resto parts have helped me out without probs either


Boozo - June 17th, 2014 at 07:07 PM

so for a beaver panel for a 59 bug in SEQ I would go to ???


matberry - June 17th, 2014 at 07:24 PM

Das
Vintage

Both these guys fit parts every day, it's the only way they know exactly what fits and what the quality is really like


Stinkbug - July 25th, 2014 at 03:40 PM

Wolfsburg west:tu: just payed them a visit,awesome!

Used in the past and never again. Same story will not answer emails or the phone, waste of time in my opinion. Give the guys at CIP 1 a go. Respond very quickly and parts arrive in super fast time too.


staul777 - August 12th, 2014 at 11:23 AM

classic also trading on ebay under german-autoxtras "same phone number"
bought a delux wide 5 disc brake kit for $399 delivered in 2 days


wombatventures - September 16th, 2014 at 06:13 PM
