I used to have a £4k monthly bill with euro but have transferred all my business to my other two suppliers.
When your delivery from Euro is held up as the driver is running up and down stairs in flats delivering to the public at lower prices than you receive then it’s time to give euro the boot.
Great idea from ECP there!!! Its already hard enough to explain to a potential new customer that you won`t fit their own supplied parts due to warranty issues and insurance cover without ECP wading in with such a great idea. I think the “partners” they have might well be garages that you would want to steer clear of if you were the general public, if they don’t know basic legal stuff like that.
Is really angers me that our so called “trade partners” i.e. the factors, will sell to retail as well as the trade, try shopping at Howdens if you don’t have a trade account. This is one reason I wont use ECP except in a real emergency.
Why do GarageWire promote such a thing?
Unbelievable. ECP get worse and worse. They stopped supplying OE equivalent brands that we know, replacing it with a cheap American brand. But now they pull this stunt!!! No one in the trade believes this could be good for the independent repairer. As all my colleagues have said, this is them taking all the parts profit with no risk. It’s the last straw, we will not be using them anymore.
Absolute joke!!! so we are now going to have customers self diagnosing problems with their cars?? What an ridiculous idea. We wont be participating in this scheme…I value our technicians far too much to put that stress onto them. All it will do is line ECP pockets and take the profit out of our pockets.
