They are a complete scam outfit
Engine failed on Astra Cdti, found Recondioned engines on the web, talked to them & they promised the earth (hindsite is wonderful)They quoted £995 + Vat to totally recondition the engine but wanted 100% up front, l refused & offered 50% & balance when engine rebuilt which was agreed. Delivered the engine on 12/01/2011 & was told 7-10 days. Waited patiently for 2 weeks with no contact from them so decided to phone them & that's when you realise what a scam they are. You get left hanging on the phone, a differant person answers all the time, eventually after a week of trying l get hold of Ronnie & he says engine is stripped & parts on order so you think finally getting somewhere WRONG. Another 2 weeks goes by & nothing, try phoning again & get the usual run around until l get told Ronnie not there anymore so get guy called Kevin & he says engine not been touched but will get it done & get back to me, a few days later surprise Kevin phones me but with the news that the head is too badly warped so will need a new one, will cost £300 extra but if paid now engine will be done within a week so regretably paid £300 more - HUGE MISTAKE. Have even driven from Devon to see whats happening only to find Ronnie is back but got even more lies etc etc etc. While l was there other people where arriving demanding there cars back but with no joy. Anyway as it stands l have paid them just under £900 & have no engine with little hope of even getting a box of bits. They are a complete SCAM outfit.

This company must not be touched
This company must not be touched. My car was sent there with a problem with it's engine. Was given an estimated invoice of 3100.00, when asked what why it was 1400.00 higher the the quote given on the phone they gave a long list of extra jobs that needed doing. I was tol that this was the price and if I didn't want the work completetd I had to pay 690.00 to get my car back with the engine in bits. While talking to Martin, I was told whtaever I did it had to be payment up front, who would require this. Started to incetigate and found ourt what a rouge company they are, trading under many names. The web site is very convincing about when you get thee it is a dirty workshop with no speaking tradesman. It is now the 3 February taken all my engine parts out of the car (not being a mechanic) I can see that I have no gearbox returned. Now not sure what else is missing.
