Not responding to my e-mails either

[drift nut]

yeah they ve got whats left of what little money i have and from what i can tell they've packed up and gone, i mean the phones disconnected ffs

[drift nut]

i have been informed by many not to deal with them!

[hamiltonau]

yeah they never answered the phone much even when they were up and running. guess this means they are flammable now on here?

Yoou used to hear good things about this shop, I never dealt with them as I thought they were too pricey, but they had some happy customers.

In more recent times I am seeing on here that people have had problems with them.

Its pretty poor taking money from people once you know you can't deliver. I am sure they would have known a week or so before they closed down.

i ve been hearing things about them taking over a year to supply goods and not being able to conntact them the norm

I too, bought something on Jan 18, was given a 10 day eta (all was fine, and so on).. tis now March 23. Tried to call, and phone is disconnected.

Its also entirely possible they are just having problems with their phone

report to the police / consumer board, show them evidence and teach these guys a lesson they deserve

dk, i rocked up a week ago in the middle of the day just because i was in the area. place looked deserted, dust gathering in the shop etc,

own story is bringing my non boosting turbo there (wasnt making that swoosh sound..yes i know im a noob) anyway both brothers looked at it and told me i needed a new turbo.

booked it in for the week after but in the meantime a mate had a look and told me it was just the actuator flap/gate that had come loose. he fixed in five minutes with some basic tools. pretty much ruined the place for me though im sure they have done some good work in the past.

met the girl who seems to run the place at a few track days and she was always friendly, so mixed emotions hearing of their demise.

i just got my parcel after a month and a half, and it took an email, saying i will be contacting consumer affairs and possibly taking legal actions, it was express posted within the next two days, my advice is, look some where else

[antbradshaw]

i am english and found this post interesting.. am guessing your all talking about a postal service

[Hybrid905]

No a parts shop mate.. And with pp there is never anyone in te shop anymore. No one goes there. They are too pricy and the service has gone down hill. Wind back maybe 3 years ago and things were not so bad :-). Sad to see what happens to some people :-( and yes i would deffinitly recommend using the consumer affairs/ department of fair trading card as that may be the only way you will see your orders.

its pretty sad really, but I no longer deal with powerplay. I have bought 4 cars through them over the years previously though, and Ali is the most honest and thorough mechanic I have ever dealt with. But these days too many people have paid but not received goods.

Ask Christan that runs these forums about what happened when he left a car there to sell on consignment.

[GTR-N1]

Ali - what a waste of a magnificently knowledgeable technician! I hope he bounces back!

Robert was a fine one himself - and honest.

Tosh who did a lot of co-ordination left about 4 years ago and he was a real good communicator.

[GTRsean]

Great. Read this the other day and just my luck.....

About 2 weeks ago I went there to put down a deposit on some coil springs after contacting them a few days before that. They looked like business as usual and some good stuff there too.

So now you are pretty much telling me I will not get my parts, or a refund of my deposit?

I drive past this shop every day, it's in Gladesville yeh? Some nice stickers plastered on the windows

[hamiltonau]

yeah thats the one, so do they look open again? curious about the ongoing saga.

odd so many conflicting reports as to their honesty/reliability though it seems like the golden days are long past. must be a good reason behind this?

[MrStabby]

I drove past today and from a brief glimpse there was no sign they were out of business, ie the shop looked like it always did.

I myself have had similar problems to whats already been stated above so I feel your pain
