Let us hope these petty little thugs get all that is due to them.

I'll tell you something, they're not the sort of chaps which we'd invite to join the country club.

Hopefully,this bulletin, if spread far & wide on the this interweb malarkey, will prevent these horrid little boys spouting their venom & pedaling their substandard goods & services.

After soaking them with it. How the bloody hell do they manage to keep trading though with so many negative experiences? They must be known surely?

Similar thought had flitted across my mind pani_k, along the lines of wondering if any of the good people on here knew of them, or maybe had any dealings with them?

I'm positive any first hand reports would be of a most fascinating nature.

Not just people on here but through word of mouth especially in the local area. How can they still get customers through the door apart from passing trade?

I suppose one could say that the London area is rather large, & seeing as they have got a proven track history in changing their trading name at a whim, which in effect produces a most effective smoke screen (figuratively speaking ) in so much that feedback would be almost impossible to asses.

So I would imagine that many customer just don't know, or indeed have never heard of them.

If you read the report it's all about them scamming old peeps and far away folk, the southall massive would have dealt with it

there are plenty of dodgy garages around, you simply avoid them and go to a recommended place

Because it isnt a serious crime.



Now if they were speeding....it would be a different matter entirely.


And then speeding with a loud exhaust, holy fuck...they'd send in SWAT



And if they had illegal font number plates, the SAS and SWAT would move in !

unfortunately a good friend of mine found out the hard way!!
the internet was to blame and so was a lack of knowledge and homework.
these people deserve to get shot through the holes in their bullet proof glass.
surely the police can stop this from happening......

These counts have been trading for years,I recognise the heathrow engine reconditioners name,always had a huge ad in the exchange and mart offering dirt cheap recon engines for any make of car hence why you've got mancs and people from Bridgend going up there.
As usual,buy cheap,buy twice.

What is this Lord Melbury twat? Is this an attempt at humour, talk about dragging out something that wasn't funny in the first place, what you're writing doesn't even make a lot of sense anyway, sounds like a thick twat trying to be posh but failing on the intellect

I've recovered a couple of cars to this place and the geezer was a cunt on both occasions!!

Started having a pop at me about the cars that I dropped to him because he had fitted engines to them that were fucked. That aint my problem!

Even before I'd spoken to anyone there I knew the place was a wrongun!

Being rather presumptuous are we not Dick? I mean to say, one would have to be rather "special" to believe that I have referred to this company's behavior as amusing in anyway. As to dragging out, you must learn that these stimulating conversations tend to develop, I must confess that I haven't noticed any regulations on here to prevent this, maybe this isn't allowed happen in Spain, perhaps due to some law left over from when Franco was incharge?

Well, that is your prerogative I suppose, & fair play to you for voicing your concerns, as ever it comes down to a matter of personal perspective, however, may I be so bold as to draw your attention to your own rather tenuous grasp of the Queens English? (as highlighted in the first paragraph) & that's before we get onto the thorny issue of resorting to insults, you must understand that it not only lowers the tone of your argument but weakens your position within the very same.
I'm not, for a moment, suggesting that you are failing on the intellect front Dick, but that is a rather sweeping statement you've come out with, after all we've never met.

Still, I'd like to bid you good day all the same Dick, I notice from your signature that you're a Motorcyclist, so I hope that you get out a little bit more & enjoy this superb spell of very unseasonal weather.

You never know, we may one day be friends.

The ripping people off aside, am sure that one doing all shouting must be commiting some sort of public order offence for putting people in feal or violence ?
