GSF website revamp.

[grober]

Just got an E mail from GSF announcing a revamp of their parts website to include a model reg no look up facility a la Eurocarparts. Its an improvement from their last effort but they still don't specific the part manufacturer on their web pages which doesn't win them any brownie points from me. GSF Car Parts | Discount Car Parts & Cheap Car Spares

And in the spirit of FORUM even handedness Eurocarparts have just opened a branch in PERTH. That's just along the road from the official J R WEIR'S MB dealership for anyone interested.

I agree and for that reason I no longer use their website. Sometimes even large companies make basic mistakes with their websites - silly really.

I don't use them either simply because you have to register. My time is more important to me than to spend it jumping through their hoops.

I've used GSF for a while, they are more trade focused, but I've found them to be cheaper than ECP for the same products.

I randomly found out that GSF now have a place in Milton Keynes - just up the road from ECP so win win I can try both places and compare.

I prefer GSF to ECP for most bits, but I have to say I am not keen on the recent sway towards sourcing some parts from cheaper far east suppliers rather than the OE/German manufacturers.

VETECH car parts and such like. Stick with Beru/Bosch/Bilstein/Lemforder/ATE etc please

Last time I tried to use ECP they sent me a crappy head gasket set for an M102 that I had to return, as the quality looked poor and I had never heard of the manufacturer either. Flakey/papery looking thing, nothing like the OE part at all and even with a substantial discount was more expensive than the pukka part from GSF
