  • I've had no problems at Oldham (North Manchester Branch) and get a trade discount! They do a lot of business with the local taxi's so are used to people dropping in to the trade counter, although they

Derby do but can be a bit grumpy/dismissive on the phone. They're really helpful in person though. 

 

ETKA looks lovely on the big widescreen telly they have over the counter to show you the diagrams on.

If they actually answer the phone.  That big screen is handy, I don't know whether other branches have them.

For those in Northern Ireland, Belfast / Malusk branch of TPS sell to the public as well.

I was talking to my local TPS and was told that they're not allowed to serve the public, trade only.  The dealers are not allowed to serve the trade, public only.

 

TPS is not a single company, it's more like a franchise where one local company gets a territory that it supplies.  I think that it is in their agreement with VW to supply the trade only.  As you're listing branches that are possibly in breach of their agreement, this may be better off in the Freedom section, where access is limited.

BIrmingham didn't the last 5 times I tried 

Hereford do. I've used them for past 4 years lol?

Croydon Branch have just happily supplied some parts to me, although having the part no.s scribbled on a Skoda notepad from the nearby stealer may have helped.

Rather a belated reply, but I just had a look at the TPS website and it says on there that it is not a service for the general public, so perhaps this thread would be better tucked away in Freedom.

 

Feel free to move it.

Been buying from the Slough branch for about 4yrs - never any problem. When they realise, which is pretty quickly, that you are a private customer then the invoice "may not" show your name - but they will happily take your credit card and you "may" get some discount too!  :clap:

First post updated thanks.

I was in TPS this morning buying some bump stops and noticed one of their current offers - buy £200 worth of windscreen wipers and get a free Bosch kettle, slightly bizarre
