Yea I use the same Tps as you alex and I've noticed the invoice in garages names aswell lately, hope they don't stop selling too us as I always get a decent price.I usually use TPS as the first port of call when I need a genuine / VAG only part.
Have been using my local one for the past 5 years.
Up until a few weeks ago I never had an issue - all invoices were just referenced in my name.
I ordered a few bits last week, they seemed reluctant to sell to myself, but explained I had been using them for the past few years, they allowed the sale - when I received the part and invoice they had selected a garage address who obviously had an account with them.
This has happened twice now, both with different addresses on the invoices.
Seems they are cracking down on it now - which is a shame, ill be gutted if I need to start paying full price!
Maybe its worth trying to open my own account?
Balls, I need some bits for my a3 but the stealers are way too much for such tiny bits.
my local gsf aren't much help either, go in and tell them what I want, they tell me its not what I want because its not for my car........I know what I want, just sell it to me, lol
My local VW club has a trade cash account with TPS,you just need to give them membership number and show membership card when paying to get discount.
i very much like this idea, maybe something that audi-sport can look into....PLEASE

Hi Adam - any update here by any chance? This would be awesome!
Cheers
How does TPS compare with ECP? Guessing its cheaper?
TPS = discount(usually) OEM parts
ECP = aftermarket Servive and Maintenance parts, some are OEM, and some are the exact same parts minus the VW/Audi logos.
