Bought a Vauxhall Astra from here today, saw it online and I needed a car ASAP, they were friendly and I asked for a video call when I saw it and they called me when they said they would. Gave it a full MOT and service ready for me to have it delivered to me personally! Car drives well and it is clean and tidy! They also informed me of the little damage that was on it, with out me even asking! The delivery driver delivered it to my home address even though I asked for it to be delivered to my work, the owner even transferred me money and told me to get a taxi on them home, and apologised for the

AVOID!!Car almost caught fire!! Bought car 1300, delivered on truck, almost set on fire with children in back on first trip. Series of lies about it being in Renault, Citoren etc., returned a week later without Renault etc. reports, still broke, diagnosed problem had changed 3 times. Car collected without notice early Sunday morning, not given time to remove belongings such as debit card as tow truck driver in a rush, Lee promised a refund. Left in tears. No refund appeared. Owner Roger verbally abusive, name calling, "ignorant" and similar for asking for a refund when he had family problems

Be aware, the garage will carry out work on your vehicle that you didn't ask for and will then charge you for it. I was also concerned that the day they had it, they put nearly 30 miles miles on my clock. Taking the car around the block to test drive it is one thing, but using it as a free ride without reimbursement for petrol is another.
