G-werks goes out of business

[walshydub]

Builders of several PVW cover cars, with this being their latest creation,



and one of the biggest names in the VW tuning scene has gone out business. Sign of the times?

Wow now that is sad to hear such a tuner like this going down.

Definately a sign of the times. There have been a few VAG businesses ive heard of go under in the UK.

We are pretty lucky here in Australia so far. Hopefully it continues that way.

Apparently there was a lot of bad press surrounding their customer service too. This comment from Speedhunters was an example;

Its nice to see how G-werks is representing them with a nice Golf and nice rotiform wheels, especially when I as a customer had maybe paid for the wheels, which are on the car. FYI G-werks owes me wheels for 4000 british pounds since 7.3.2011. For all you, who are interested in purchasing rotiform wheels from G-werks - be carefull. There are already several customers from Germany, Slovakia, Czech republic who did not get what they had paid for. Nice work G-werks, carry on.
