Default Looks like Genuineaudiparts is no more...

I attempted to check their website for some prices on parts today, and the domain name now appears to be not registered. I also tried genuinevwaudiparts.com, and genuinevwparts.com and also had similar results. Has anybody else recently placed an order and/or been in contact them? So now it looks like we only have Rector Audi (www.audipartsnationwide.com) as an on–line discount dealer for parts.

I'll be damned!? Perhaps they just forgot to register the website address. They were kinda forgetful occasionally. Anyone in San Diego know if the dealer is actually still under the same ownership? I hope they didn't go out of business...

I just called them and the told me they are having a technical problem with the web site and it should be back up and running soon, hopefully by tomorrow morning California time.

If anyone is interested it is Audi Miramar in San Diego CA. 800-939-5207.

That's a relief. I've had great luck with them and I'd hate to lose them as a resource.

Thanks for checking - I assumed that they just spaced out / screwed up and forgot to register the domain. They are honest and I use them all the time - but they are kinda' spacey... Good news in my mind.

Not the same, but more expensive prices than either genuineaudiparts.com or audipartsnationwide.com.

They are back on line. The old www.genuinevwaudiparts.com now redirects you to:

http://genuineaudiparts.com/

According to whois it is, both domains are registered to the same company. Apparently there was some web site restructuring going on.
