Erm no they most certainly do NOT
Dealers buy their parts from SEAT UK
TPS is there to combine Skoda, VW, Audi and SEAT parts under one roof to supply the trade at special trade prices - prices which any dealer (like us) could match if they wanted to. All VWG parts come from the same warehouse at Dordon.
By the way, the correct word is DEALER, not dealer
Oh and when TPS run out of their splitters purchased before 24th Jan, believe me the price will double . . . . . . .


apologies to you Dave. I must admit I've seen quite a few post on here from and to you and you do seem the genuine article ie. A "real dealer" all I can say and I stress ALL the contact I've had from Seat dealers in this area for parts and advice has been poor. The service I've had from TPS which luckily is 5mins away has always been class.
 
I've always had trouble with dealers in my local area from pug Vauxhall seat and more but every question I've asked Dave I've had a straight honest and some what correct answer :) that's why I always recommend him on hear and in person ;) I wish I'd got my self a splitter 2 weeks ago when I was ment to :(

no worries, Im not usually so sharp but you just hit a nerve after a bad day lol
tbh it annoys me just as much that some dealers dont look after their customers as well as they should, but thats a whole different thread he he

edit - btw im probably stating the obvious, but when SEAT run a price update, the cost to the dealer changes exactly in proportion to the change in rrp. Im selling my last 5 splitters at £23, but my next order will cost me a lot more so the selling price must go up accordingly. I just got a feeling a few people didnt realise it wasnt just rrp that went up . . . . To be fair, a lot of the most popular stuff like brakes, cambelt kits, service parts etc have stayed almost unchanged.

You heard the man get your orders in quickly. Snooze you loose
 
If you've got a few dealers in your area, ring round.
Got mine for £30 inc vat, but only after speaking to a few dealers. Most have gone up!!
