lach 32 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'am currently importing a car through them and they seem to be handling everything very well. I know people that have bought cars from them before and there service during and after the purchase is great. The new man in charge (Alistair) seems to be a nice guy and good to deal with. I imported a car through imports101 at the beggining of the year and to this point of time i'am much happier with autoworx.

Were you given a VIN number before bidding for the vehicle ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187513-autoworx/#findComment-3383978 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco-R34GTT Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) Same, I bought my R34 just before Paul sold up, I was very happy with the service then, and Alistair has succeeded in filling a big pair of shoes! He is uberfriendly and is very helpful... I'd go back again.

342Four Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 now probably early 2008 considering it has to be bought, then shipped, then customs, then complied Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187513-autoworx/#findComment-3387264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchoc Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Damn.... early Jan perhaps? Problem is during the end of Dec / Jan ppl hardly work or will work. Won't this delay the whole importing/compliance process?
