Title: Administrators?
Post by: lukemk5gti on April 05, 2017, 02:51:33 pm
Hey @dazza (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10457) or @rich83 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=709) along with anymore admin.

An Irish car company - http://www.micksgarage.com/

was onto me and they're willing to put up the odd post with special offers and also give a members only discount code.

Could anyone send me on some info on what's required, can they just set up a profile as normal and post away?

Nothing to do with me... you need to speak to @vRSAlex (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1981)

@vRSAlex (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1981)

What do you think?

Can they just set up an account and post their weekly offers and put a discount code in their signature?

You're correct!

They have a great guides on:
Full gti servicing
oil pickup pipe
performance mods

It's also handy considering it's all done on as you say their GTI project car.

They get alot of plugging from 'DannyDC2' on you tube.  They prob send cheap tools / parts for exposure on his vlogs.  Never used them personally  :happy2:

See what the boss says.

I've been using them since they started and have always found their customer service fantastic.

Do agree with the cheap tools, they sell Draper stuff and a few other types and none of it looked like it would have the longevity of more reputable brands.

Prices though are much lower so it probably suits the DIY mechanic who dusts them off once a year.

Sorry I didn't mean cheap as in cheap and nasty. I just meant I think he gets them given discounted for promoting them.  I could well be wrong of course!

@vRSAlex (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1981) sent you a pm!

Any issues with just throwing up the odd special offer for us?

Don't think @vRSAlex (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1981) has been on much lately.

I was contacted by Micksgarage again.

The intention would be similar to Opie Oils where they will post up special offers maybe once a week for forum members and include a forum discount code.

I'll go ahead and let them set up a profile if that's ok?

I can't see a downside here for anyone!

Thanks lads!

The garage would have to  register as a trader on here and pay a contribution to the forum like oil man does and get Alex approval first

The system need sorting out.

Ah ok, can anyone confirm the charges associated?

Can they just set up and discuss charges when the system is sorted out?
