Hi Has anyone had any new outcomea? My car has had so many issues since having it back.

He also uses a car wash place on the A127, and s6 autos on nobel square x it is sad to see so many cars in the yard looking dirty and abandoned.

My car came back but the clutch went, I am still in the process of getting it fixed at a different garage. I have had his work looked at and it is a lazy poor job he has done. I am going through my credit card to claim my money back.

Well, we are waiting to see the damage done to my car, then i will have to pay to get it repaired. I am just glad we have my car back. There were a few guys there, I don't know their names though. I think they are people that work for him. Eastern European guys. The yard has all kind of cars there in various states of repair. I think Lee also has something to do with the car wash place on the A127 where he makes most people collect their cars from. I will try and find the details of that place from my google map timeline. I think there were a few cars there too.

Hi, Yeah it is such an awful thing to go through, he has caused me so much stress. The number we have for "Lee" is 07940954553 I have an email address too: [email protected] The address for the yard where there are loads of cars is: Burnt Mills Rd, North Benfleet, Wickford SS12 9JY This is where I dropped my car off and collected it. I hope this helps x I have contacted trading standards and have also started a section 75 against him, luckily I paid on credit card. Good luck, let me know how you get on. X

I have been searching online for info on this guy and finally came across this forum. I have had a nightmare with this guy! My 1.8t beetle needed a new engine, we used an online site to find somewhere and this guy came up, company "engine ex" contact was Lee. We phoned him gave him the details of what we needed. Agreed a price and we arranged recovery. The recovery never turned up I drove the car there as it was still drivable. I was told to take it to s6 Autos at nobel sq basildon. When i got there i called "Lee" and he said to bring it to a different "workshop". Which was in North benfleet. It looked like a car graveyard!! we were told 7-10 days but then each week he told us there was a different problem. Said that the ECU wasn't working, then all the electric looms needed replacing. 4 weeks later we went to collect my car, from a dodgy car wash on the A127. Ran the car and it was losing water, he topped it up. We told him we were paying by credit card which he was very upset by. we had to drive back to the car graveyard in nth benfleet, pretended to struggle with the card machine but i stuck to my guns and paid 2200 on credit card. Drove the car 7 miles down the road and it was losing water. Pulled into the dodgy carwash place again and looked under neath, water was pouring out of a pipe. Called Lee, he came down and tried fobbing us off saying he couldn't get the part so left the old rusty pipe on there. We told him to take the car back to fix and we made him pay for a rental car for us. A few days later he said it was fixed and we made him recover it home to us. 40 miles after having it back, the clutch went on it, called him up and he was very aggressive and said it was our problem. We have now sent the car to our local garage to check it over. I am in the process of contacting my credit card to start the process of a section 75, as he has not provided what we paid for. I now know why he was so scared of us using a credit card! We are also now concerned that he has put the wrong engine into the car. We asked for a VW AWU engine which are like rocking horse poo, so we believe that he has not provided this. I have phone numbers for this guy if any of you need it and the address of his workshop. I feel so upset and angry how I have let this happen.
