My Dad paid £1400 to have a rebuilt engine on his Toyota.
Was more than hard work to get the var back. Engine blew up after driving 14 miles.
Had 2 independents look at the car... both said the old engine hadn't been taken out.
Going to cost another £1,500 to get sorted out.
Can't get the money back.
Do not use these people.
They have also set up under other companies, so just be careful

So sorry to hear people are still getting ripped off by this guy
I'm just urging people to contact BBC Watchdog
The more people that do, the better
This man must be exposed to as many people as possible

We actually had contact from Watchdog
I think it was towards the end of last year
They were investigating, but said it was put on hold
Was hoping they would reopen
And yes, trading standards should be doing something
