Dealers don't want my money???

[8Tech]

After deliberation for weeks on whether the expense of the glass switches is worth the benefit, I decided to treat myself following a good weeks work.

Approached HWM and asked for the price for the switches, reminded 3 times. A week has gone by and no response.

I decided to take my business elsewhere, Nicholas Mee in fact and rang them. They asked me to tell them what I needed in an email......you guessed it, never heard from them again.

They must be making too much money elsewhere to not bother with a £500 ish order!

Probably stay with the plastic ones now, I have lost interest.

I saw those BR switches but at their quoted price of $95.00 for standard AM ones that retail at £20 - £30 each, they can keep them.

I liked the special heated window ones too but $295.00 each is way too strong.

I have now heard from Nicholas Mee and HWM through this forum thread, so hope to recharge my interest and get them done.

Nope, take a look at this quote......

Park switch £26.27, Drive £22.75, Reverse £31.36 and Neutral £23.95.

Total £137.19 RETAIL incl VAT and shipping for the set, less any disco you can negotiate.

Fitting them myself so will post a pic when done. All here now.

I got the BR price from their forum quotation. Post number 9 here....

Where did this quote come from because I would like to update the switches on my car.

HWM Aston Martin in Walton-Upon-Thames.

Ask for Rob Sims, parts manager. Very helpful and my switches arrived in 48 hours.

Digging around today it seems this pricing was a one off deal for 8Tech and never be repeated
Shame that wasn't mentioned at the time

In which case then try Nicholas Mee as their quote was £137.19 and that included £10.00 postage.



I can understand they do not give non trade customers the same discount as trade but retail was pretty close.

Here is the RETAIL quote.....

"These are the only switches that AM do in glass Gerry, BR I believe can make the rest if required. Retail prices with out VAT as below:


AD33-7L021-BC

PARK SWITCH AUTO 29.91

AD33-7J175-CC

REVERSE SWITCH AUTO 29.91

AD33-7A247-BC

NEUTRAL SW AUTO 29.91

AD33-7J177-BC

DRIVE SWITCH AUTO 29.91

AD33-15A860-BB

PARKING SENSOR SWITCH 45.78

AD33-2C418-DA

DSC CONTROL SWITCH 45.78

AD33-15K237-BA

FOGLAMP SWITCH 49.79

AD33-14B626-CB

SPORTS MODE SWITCH 104.24

I would point out too that I never quoted exactly what I paid for the switches, I quoted the retail prices I was quoted before my trade discount. I purchased mine from HWM rather than Nicholas Mee as they are my usual suppliers and I wanted to stay loyal to them. I can understand why HWM could not repeat MY discount as it was a special because of the initial mess-up, but cannot see why you cannot get them at retail money of just under £30 each.
