Ohh my God I should check the reviews. I did purchase a car from this James on the 14th February 2023 I did pay in 2 instalment and the car was supposed to be delivered on Monday 20th February 2023. Suddenly he did send me a long email saying the car got problem need to go back to the garage for a check up. I did call my bank a d advice to wait 48 hours to allow the company to refund before them takes action. So I asked James for a refund and says to wait 2 Working days and today I did check my account still nothing so I will contact my bank. My brothers are looking for him aswell as his landline is connected with his moblie.

Avoid at all costs. Purchased a car in November from James. James is a compulsive lier, quick to take your money. Makes lots of promises but never delivers. You've been warned, take my advice and run (trust me)

We brought a car from James (the director) all we got was excuses as to why he couldn't deliver the car, so we asked for a refund and yet we're still waiting for the refund 2 and a half months later. More excuses.. he's trying to blame it on his bank and all sorts. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM HERE!!

If it would be possible to leave a zero star review I would, these guys are nothing short of criminals. A long story that has rambled on since February where I returned a faulty vehicle, I haven’t seen the car since. Multiple attempts to reason with the director James Diffey who is a compulsive liar just don’t attempt to involve yourself with this man you’ll regret it for as long as you live. After months of chasing and receiving multiple compulsively untrue responses I attended the premises where James offered to but my car back of me for almost £2000 less than I paid for the car which in itself is a joke but I wanted free of this nightmare so reluctantly agreed to his proposal. The conman took my bank details back in May and told me the payment would be in my account within 3-5 working days. Unsurprisingly the money never arrived. I now have debt collectors acting on my behalf to retrieve my money. I urge anyone and everyone who has ever dealt with this individual as it appears there are hundreds who have had the misfortune of his company to share your stories with everyone and drag his name through the mud. Avoid small claims court at all cost, this guy knows every trick in the book and even if you win, you’ll never get your money back anyway so save yourself the hassle. I have debt collectors acting on my behalf who will retrieve my money back eventually and will hopefully harm his business’ reputation as they persist in their efforts. Let’s hope one day that James’ luck runs out and he ends up where he belongs, behind her majesty’s cosy prison walls.

"AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!"

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! I bought a zafira vxr from here. I live miles away so bought it unseen. I phoned them and was told it was in fantastic shape and needed nothing mechanically so I bought it and they delivered it. After it was delivered I checked the car out which was covered in rust, paint flaking off everywhere, smoking and spluttering, steering wasn't working. I messaged them and explained the issues and said I wanted a refund and asked them to collect the car. They said it needed to be checked by a mechanic first and to get quotes on the repairs. I did this wasting time and money getting this done. My local garage were shocked at how unsafe and in bad shape thr vehicle was. They said there was no way it would have passed a real MOT as they found at least 10 MOT fails amongst the other long list of issues. I sent them the info from the garage and have been ignored for a week now since sending the requested info and still requesting collection and a refund. Looks like I'm heading down the legal route now.

Bought a car from MSP in January 2022 ,after driving off site the car broke down & the engine management light came on , we took the car back & they said it was the battery as the car had being sitting there for a while.During the first week of driving the car it wasn’t changing gear & not going into reverse . I had 2 diagnostics done which showed the car had gearbox problems . The warranty which came with the car declined the work ,so James the director said to bring it back they would fix it .After weeks of been mucked about James said the car couldn’t be fixed & he would swop the car for another car on site which we agreed .On the day the car was due to be delivered James called to say the car had a fault & couldn’t be delivered,so agreed a full refund .This was at the end of March ,since then I have been lied to & sent fake documents regarding my £ 4800 .Everyday is the same going round in circles & not getting my money . I don’t have a car or no money to buy a new one ,but James doesn’t care ..As long he is ripping customers off. AVOID this car dealer !! Would put no star rating cos they are that bad.
