From what I have been told - and read - it does seem that Autosave is not connected to the new owner at the site Churchbarn autos. This site on Highfield Road as been a car dealers for as long as I can remember - so it does make sense that a new company should operate from there. It also appears that the new company have no liabilities for the old companies mistakes and debts. One can only wish the new company well and hope they don't get too much hassle's from the previous firm. Good Luck to them

Having a similar problem with the same garage as the original poster. I rang autosaves phone number this week - and a John Birkett answered - spun me some cock and bull story about the original owners doing a runner leaving a massive amount of debts etc - you get the drift - and that there was now a new owner in charge - spoke to him - couldn't get a name out of him. However if a business was bankrupt or defunct why would new owners take on there web site - telephone number etc and from what I can work out the same VAT number. You would want to do everything you could to disassociate yourself from the previous rouge traders. Not sure were I am going to go with my problem yet - as I believe the local news paper will be doing a feature on this company soon - so it may be just a case of wait and see - however I do feel that legal action is going to be the only way to recoup ones loss's.... the original owners wont be too difficult to trace - as there address was published in the local paper some years ago. Its always difficult going to court as it can often be hard to prove certain facts as Autosave put nothing in writing.... Will be watching this forum with great interest - see what happens next....
