Absolute charlatans - avoid
Absolute charlatans. Avoid at all costs. I had a vehicle all booked in for an inspection only to have them cancel the day before citing the car did not pass their inspection, and so they returned it to the seller. I was not even given the opportunity to inspect the car to make my own judgement.
Unfortunately, i was only notified by a single text the day before, which i did not see until the morning of the inspection. I only realised this after my inspector called to tell me the car had been sold. Note i said sold, not returned to seller. He'd driven 75 miles to the seller by this point though.
I asked for their inspection report but none could be provided. My inspector could also not see the vehicle as it had been apparently 'returned' to the seller.
In reality I'm sure Carhub, Harlow, sold the car from under me despite allowing me to arrange and pay for an inspection and also confirming they would not take viewings on it until after my inspection. CarHub Harlow would also not take a deposit to hold the car pending inspection when i asked to do this.
One reason I am sure it was sold is because my inspector saw the car driven back towards the dealer while he waited for me to confirm what was happening. Odd for a car that has been 'returned' to the seller.
Another reason is that when I viewed the car it had been fully valeted, alloy wheels restored, and 4 new tyres put on it. What dealer does this and then takes 82 pictures and posts them on autotrader, before confirming a car is mechanically sound.
Consequently, i was dubious about all this and called them. I was told the problems with communication were because 'Ricky' who i had dealt with, was new, only 2 months in the job and training. Funny how 'Ricky, was getting reviews last year on auto trader before he even started there. Something tells me the autotrader reviews may have been written by the afore mentioned 'Ricky'.
I could go on and on about the lies I have been fed today, but I'd be here all night. Suffice to say this company is on my blacklist and now also my vehicle inspectors blacklist.
I'm out of directly out of pocket by £200 and indirectly by £1400 due to dealings with these jokers.
As I said avoid.
