I have used AUT Direct on two occasions, both times actually visiting the premises to buy my items. Most people reading this may just use the website to order from AUT Direct so will not know how the shop works.
Their address is AUT House, Towerfield Close, Shoeburyness, Essex, SS3 9QP. ... Read review
The location is out of the way, lack of bus service/travel is a pain. If youy live in the local area and have a car you should be fine, good luck finding a parking spot.
The products are all on show and easy to see, there is alot in the shop that is not on the sight. Prices in the shop and on the website differ for the same product so allways ask before bying instead of asking for the product and buying it straight off you may be in for a shock.
... ...found cheaper places i ounly bought from here because it was local.

I had a radeon 4870 512mb it was all working fine. Until it came to the 6 months, my graphics card stopped working because the fan packed up. So i took it back. They said it's my fault that i never cleaned all the dust out of it, apprently i was meant to remove the sticker and oil it.

Advantages: ok for local people who need items fast. Disadvantages: 20% roughly more expensive than similar online shops. Pushing more expensive sales.
As mentioned in other reviews here AUT are now about 20% more expensive than other retailers such as scan.co.uk aria.co.uk or dabs.co.uk. So i dont recommend them for any online sales nor can i comment on their mail order service. I also ponder on the positive reviews here for them and wonder if they were actually submitted by AUt employees themselves, but who knows? As a local person to their brick and mortar shop and a pc builder i have had to ... ...out "trouble" rather than wait for courier delivery from my preffered online shops. In store BEWARE they will ALWAYS try to sell you the more expensive items in shop rather than cheaper items, if your after a cheap solution for example for a pc fix, they will frequently tell you the cheaper items you require are not in stock or alternatively try the sales of the expensive items way before the cheaper. One example of this is i needed a replacement ...

Advantages: Price is too good to be true and after you order you know why Disadvantages: Blame their customers for their mistakes
Ordered a barebone system from AUT last year.
Impressed with the price but when it arrived it did not work.

3 weeks past and I finally received an email, the email told me that the barebone was damaged but not from them but by me. I replied telling them it was not working when I got it but they seemed ...

Quick review of autDirect.co.uk
I am on my second PC in 4 years and I buy all my accessories from AUT. They are without doubt one of the cheapest suppliers around and I cannot fault their service. I used to build PC's for a living and I couldnt build from trade, PC's as cheap as they sell them ready built. ...
