Be Careful

Post by Imy » Thu May 02, 2013 12:58 pm

I dont know if anyone watched Watch Dog last night but if you did there was a segment on Rogue Traders on United Motors in Southall (previously known as Unique Motors, changed name when they got done for clocking offences).

They are a family owned company, I once checked out a 7 series in one of their other garages Stylish Motors in Greenford.

From my knowledge Unite Motors has closed and I know for a fact Stylish Motors has also shut.

Im being told by a few people that they are now back in business in Northolt under Northolt Giantz. I dont know this 100% for sure as I havent been there but just incase anybody comes across them because they do have this:

Just be on your guard. I have had experiences with them and walked away from the 7 series, when I asked what was wrong with it they told me nothing, when I told them my mechanic is just down the road, hel put it on a ramp and scanner, then they were like o actually he might find this and find that but all minor stuff. Bollocks!

Anyways, just trying to watch out for the community ::) ;)

Yes it was. I drove past their forecourt and they are now closed, although they didn't have much of a chance did they? It's coming common practice around west london at least where you open up a forecourt sell shitty cars with warranties, close down 7months later and then open up down the road under a new name and so the same shit all over again...
