Hi Guys!

Thanks for the move - its easier to comment on things within our own section

Firstly - the forum discount is offered to you as part of our support - its not a requirement of us being here, We could remove the code, and still offer the same support to members & simply highlight that weeks promotions......
however 4 things:
1. Yes we have many promo codes, however these are limited to certain products - The forum discount has only a few limitations (clutch/turbo/injectors) - The forum code is there to save you from hunting around for an active code

2. Again, the promo codes which are available online may also give customers 25% off - however they have time limitations, the forum code is active for 365 days a year (apart from during a sale, when items are reduced and all codes suspended)

3. Yes - We support the top 60 or so car forums - These also have club specific codes for the same above reasons, These also have a dedicated section for ECP to help members and these also get an annual payment for the support of the forum which we all use. This goes directly to helping the team finance the site and hardware and keep the forum running. So if we're conning you then we're not doing very well because we're helping to pay for the upkeep of the site & helping members with any issues they may have!

4. Yes we sell parts on eBay - These are priced depending on the market, if there are lots of people selling a particular brake pad, we may have to reduce that further than with a 25% discount, however likewise if there is less competition for a brake disc, we will keep the price the same as online (except without any promo codes) - so, although some parts may be more (by a few pennies) on the website, and some may be cheaper we believe that this is outweighed by the fact that with the website you can reserve online & collect in store the same day, Use our Same Day Delivery service & also the returns and warranty are dealt with by any ECP branch (not just mail order)

We are not forcing anybody to buy from us, We're not here to shove deals and offers down your throat, we are here to help service members needs (wether its help finding a part, or after sales help) If a part is found cheaper, we ask that you drop us a PM to see if we can tweak the price online - however we're here to support the forums, not just drum up more business.

Pat
