Autofive Are No More

I've only recently noticed it - they have stopped trading on 8th of October, for good it seems.

Another great name extinct.

I've noticed there is still an autofive ebay account. Wonder if that is their last stock?

sad to see another source of parts bites the dust! maybe we should try to comple a list of suppliers who are still trading?

they've been rubbish for at least the last 4 years. Business does not survive with poor service.

[Baz 421]

Exactly, seems since they were bought-out they've been dire. More a hinderance than a help to anyone that's bothered (trying) to use them!

Based on posts on here over the past year or 2 i'd thought they'd already closed some time ago tbh, as people were saying they'd tried buying parts or emailed queries and had no replies.

 

I tried buying a few bits off them back in '09 shortly after i got my GTI and even then i never got any contact back from them

Either way, at least they haven't gone down without sorting out any outstanding issues between themselves and

205 GTI Drivers, unlike all other companies that ceased to exist or some that haven't (yet), but really deserve to.

thats sad thay were always very good when i used to use them years ago when it sounded like two blokes in a lock up would ring up to see if thay had something in stock & peter (think that was his name) would say hang on let me check the computer & i would hear lots of noise like someone looking through boxes etc always wanted to say to him "you dont really have a computer do you" lol
