Auto doc take forever to deliver. And when my delivery came it was 50% wrong
@MrMortalskymonkeyАй бұрын
Couldn't agree with this more. Yes the prices are good but not when you try to return the stuff because they've sent half of it out wrong. They've sent the wrong stuff numerous times for me and friends. We don't bother using them anymore absolute waste of time. Never have the same problems with other companies.
@thomasfrancis5747Ай бұрын
Agree with other comments about Autodoc delivery times. They also appear to trade under other names. At least they don't have silly RRP's and discounts unlike ECP, etc. Prefer to support local independent long established motor factors where possible.

Nice to see you selling some cars James, watching the other guys on KZbin also and they have been quite for a few weeks . Why don't you get some of those car awaiting prep stickers to put in the windscreen,saves you having to tell them and if anyone comes to have a look at the cars when you're not there they will know . Keep it up chops 😁

That Golf won’t even have adaptive cruise control! When things like CarPlay and sat nav are too much trouble to fit there is no way they would fit adaptive cruise control. Clue will be does it display the speed limit on the dash? If not then no adaptive cruise. And, you could test it by you as mine will go well below 20 mph to set the limit.

My 62 plate has acc so can't see why this 16 plate shouldn't
@mike306dtАй бұрын
You're confusing ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) with something else. This golf does have ACC, and the adaptive part is referring to the ability for the car to follow the vehicle infront of it whilst keeping a set distance. You can see the radar within the bottom grill. My 2013 golf has ACC but the much earlier ICE system and so doesn't respond to speed limits etc. If you have the DSG version it'll actually come to a stop on the adaptive cruise. Volkswagen market predictive cruise control which is in tandem with ACC which will react to speed limits, bends and roundabouts.
@mike306dtАй бұрын
Oh just to blow your mind, carplay can be enabled by dealer diag if you have the MIB 2 or above system. It's just disabled. There's nothing to fit.

I found Autodoc very pricey. The price of their Castrol MAGNATEC 5W30 5 litre A5 is £47.34 + £8.45 shipping!! I paid £33.50 through Amazon for exactly the same product with "free" (non Prime) shipping and received it in a few days. I also looked at spark plugs, rotors and brake pads and they were not particularly competitive. It pays to do some research.

@@roystonvehicles9129I’ve paid for vehicles by debit card before and it’s a real benefit to a buyer to be able to do that, however to protect yourself as a dealer it has to be chip and pin with pin entered on your premises and not CNP (customer not present). Credit card is another story altogether as the credit card company become jointly liable for the quality of the car and tend to side with a customer in a dispute. You can’t lose the money if the card turns out to be stolen as long as you are not complicit ( technically called merchant collusion ) and its chip and pin with pin entered on premises.
