Does any one use Autodoc for Audi parts and what is the service/quality like?

Cheers

Used it once for a hard to get in the UK crank seal. Good choice on the website (albeit most of it "King d1ck" "Horsebung" type chinglish brands) but slow and relatively expensive shipping.

I stopped using them when they started redirecting me to the app store every time I went onto their site.

I have a EuroCarParts 2 miles down the road, so use them instead.

Thanks just been quoted £300 (plus £70 back) for a pair of front Calipers for my A4 Allroad and £64!! for a single ABS sensor from Europarts which seems bloody dear.

Use Autodoc for everything where I can, the sheer availability of parts, the part number search / cross reference ability and prices blow ECP / GSF out the water.

watch them for substituting a chosen quality brand with their own brand after paying

I think I may have used them once or twice and they were competitive on BMW bits but I got sick of the forced appstore redirect too so not used them for ages. ECP has been pretty good for Mk1 TT parts and BMW suspension arms recently.

Used them for a new intake manifold for my V10 S6 as well as a load of components for my golf. Audi wanted ~£3900 for the manifold - TPS ~£2800

Autodoc listed a "pierburg" item for £1800. I contacted pierburg to ask what revision is what made off only to find that they are the OEM. Audi just put it in an audi box. Managed to order it when Autodoc had some crazy sale - cost me £1100 in the end. Delivery took a while but part was spot on and even had the latest Audi part number on it

If you can wait the delivery time I find them great. I have paid for their no questions returns which was handy when I was buying parts to upgrade the brakes on my Golf. Some of the bits that were wrong went straight back

Fine, used them dozens of times without issue.

DIscounts usually seem largest on a Monday.

Never had a problem with a part number equivalency, or other brand being substituted.

Delivery takes anything between 3 and 10 days.

I had a dispatch time of nearly 2 weeks for some in-stock parts recently, and then it caught caught in the Evri chaos meaning it was almost a month before they actually landed with me. The items themselves were all good. Don't use them if you are in a rush would be my advice.

Just used them for the first time. I was after rear shocks, bump stops, dust covers and top mount etc.

As others have said, a bit lengthy getting here but I got a little bit of discount for my next order - and they were apologetic.

Quality of parts was very good, all in it came to £104 with carriage.

My local motor factors wanted £130 just for shock absorbers alone.

I will definitely be using again without a doubt.

Aren't King Dick a century old tool manufacturer?

Anyway, back on topic. The prices are very good sometimes, but don't hold your breath on delivery times.
