DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE!!

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE!!! I BOUGHT A VAUXHALL MOKKA X AND AFTER 30 MINUTES OF LEAVING THEIR BUILDING AND HITTING THE MOTORWAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP ON THE VEHICLE. THIS INCONVENIENCED ME IN SUCH A BAD WAY AND I HAD TO TAKE 2 DAYS OUT OF MY TIME TO GET IT RESOLVED. HOWEVER ALL THEY DID WAS BOTCH THE CAR UP AND SENT ME ON MY WAY THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP AGAIN 6 WEEKS LATER!!! THEY BUY FAULTY CARS AND SELL THEM FOR RIDICULOUS MONEY WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THEY ARE FAULTY. THEY DONT DO THEIR CHECKS PROPERLY EITHER BEFORE SELLING!
