BIGGEST SHOWER OF COWBOYS I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS!!
I bought a car from these back in march which had 2 years NCT left on it and i was given a 3 month guarentee. When i drove the car home i noticed a problem with the fuel gauge and rang them, they said they would fix it no problem and would let me know when they got the part in. A few days later the car died and i arranged to leave it in to be fixed. They kept the car for 6 weeks and gave me a piece of crap replacement which broke down also. After the 6 weeks i demanded my car back and they sent it back to me claiming that the electrical fault i had sent it down for was repaired but they had not found a fuel gauge yet. After 3 days i realised that the electrical fault had not been repaird. So they had the car for 6 weeks and did not repair a thing. I sent the car back down again and was assured i would have it back in a week. I recieved another car from them which also broke down and then a 3rd replacement which , surprise, also broke down on me. At this stage they had my car for a further 6 weeks and i had to drive down and demand it back as they had refused on several occassions to give me a refund.
I contacted a solicitor who advised me to take the car back and take legal action against the garage. I drove to the garage and demanded my car back when i was told it was not there. I had to wait two hours for one of these donkeys to collect my car. When i got the car back, i realised that nothing was repaired. So basically they had my car in total for 12 weeks, (the whole period of the warrenty) and had repaired nothing.
I took my car to a reputable mechanic and spent 300 to get it back onto the road. I contacted my solicior and had a letter drawn up asking for a full refund. This letter was ignored and a couple of weeks later the car completely crapped out. I contacted the garage to ask why i had not recieved a response to my legal letter and was told that they had not recieved it. When I confronted the person who had signed for the letter which was sent by registered post. He denyed knowing anything about it.
So my situation at the moment is that i am approximately 5000 out of pocket and i have no car .
I ADVISE ANYONE THINKING OF DEALING WITH THIS GARAGE TO STEER WELL CLEAR OF THE PLACE. read more
