King Spring Distributors Gone Belly up

[Disco_owner]

Hi Guys;
I've had my vehicle in ATV now for 2 weeks which is getting Kings Springs and Bilstein Shocks Fitted however there is delays with Suppliers of King Springs and I think I heard the After Market 4wd accessory distributor National distributors has gone Bust , has anyone heard this?

Looks like the vehicle is going to stay there for a few more days until they source the Coil springs.

Isn't that the company that was on the news?
Owned Auto1 or AutoPro stores or something like that too.

Yep, National Parts.

YEP

went belly up in the last few days

supplied about 60% of the after market parts throughout oz, many of their suppliers unlikely to get paid

expect parts price increases across the board to compensate

local distributors madly scrambling to re-source affected items

some of you will be aware that many parts fitted & charged to the consumer as "genuine" by franchise dealer workshops are sourced at lower prices through this market

This mob at Penrith/Kingswood or something should be good???

Welcome to Wholesale Suspenion, King Springs Sydney!

I used to use them and I was happy

Hi Simon;

I suspect ATV has tried sourcing the King's Coils Spring from this Mob in Penrith " Wholesale Suspension" but they may be out of stock, now I may be mistaken but National are the suppliers for these guys.

That is very sad - AutoPro in Nowra are the wholesaler for most of the grease monkeys in the district! They are also the most reliable of all the local auto parts retailers.

I wonder what the AutoPro franchisees will do - a Co-op or something maybe - hopefully!

SupaC......Yuck

Ahhh, thats a bugger. I wonder if they can go direct? Perhaps they've tried or thats what they're doing.

I used to deal directly with Kings (IIRC talking to one of the King boys) getting custom spec coils wound, but that was 15 years ago and they are a lot bigger now.
