Ooft did I have a hell of a time with that shower of Cunts.

Bought a Vauxhall Antara, noticed on the test drive that it had a vibration, oh we will get it through the workshop if you buy it and it’ll be top notch at pick up, done a deal. Pick it up, vibration still there, straight onto them cause I have the warrantee, workshops busy, can’t get in for 3 weeks…… car is in and out of the workshops with them being unable to diagnose this vibration, then it has starting issues. I get really annoyed one time picking it up as they blamed me for the starting problem saying “you’re not using it enough, the battery needed charged” bullshit, complete lies. Im an engineer I had checked the battery and it was fine. I explain that I’m near the end of my warrantee and still having problems, “oh every time you bring it in the 3 month warrantee resets” aye do you think they honoured that?

In the end I got in contact with the finance company and raised an escalation with them.
Black Horse were really supportive and investigated it all and upheld my complaint saying the car shouldn’t have been sold to me in that condition and should have been repaired.

They agree to take the car back but I wouldn’t get any refund as I had done so many miles in the car…… for every 2000 miles you do you loose a months (finance) payment refund. Eh “how many miles have they said I’ve done?” “16000 miles” in 4 months!? …. when the car was in and out of their workshop….. bullshit.

Black horse got them to get a picture of the mileage, barely 3000 miles I’d done.

What a convenient mistake they made.

I would avoid Peter Vardy car store/carz or whatever they call it. As they will sell you the world and drop you like a stone and ignore all the promises they made.
