Yes he is operating in accrington, spring gardens church st, you can always confirm with mark Dawson at trading standards, the cheek of him though he is trading opposite the police station!

My husband has spoken to Mark Dawson at Trading Standards and he is slowly but surely building a strong case against him, TS are fully aware he has changed names and he is definitely no longer trading from heys lane, we have a statement coming to us in the post to sign so that's another one to add to the case if I get no money back whatsoever I won't be bothered if this guy gets what's coming to him (prison hopefully).

Hi Tea junkie, I had vosa inspect my car last week, they have issued a mot failure mostly due to the corrosion. Vosa interviewed the mot tester at the time of inspection and they are now prosecuting him, it's not the 1st time that he has been caught out issuing duff mot's, the vosa guy gave my husband his contact info and is willing to help as best he can and he has stated that the car was sold in a unworthy road condition, It is that bad that I could have killed us. I will pm you my info if you want to get in touch privately I want to get get my money back but also I want to make sure these con men can't keep getting away with ripping people off! I am currently waiting to hear form the CAB Thanks for getting in touch sam

Thanks Lisa, I have pm'd you my contact info

Hi I bought a car from LANCASHIRE DIESEL CARS (LDC aka HEYS LANE CAR SALES aka BUDGET TRADE CARS aka RUNABOUT CAR SALES and probably a few more different names) on the 2nd Feb 2013, it was sold to me with a 12 months MOT done that same day and stated minor exhaust leak not excessive and some corrosion not excessive, the MOT was done by AUTO INSPECTION, INDUSTRY STREET, PERSERVERANCE MILL, OLIVE LANE, DARWEN. I have barely used the car it's done roughly 100 miles since I bought it, anyway whilst I was driving along my exhaust fell off, I have now had my mechanic take a look and whilst underneath my car he found the floor so corroded that his finger went through it, pipes were cable tied and the sub was leaking that was just after 10 minutes under there my mechanic has said that the car is a death trap and the MOT is not worth the paper it is written on. I have been back and spoke to Andy Long's side kick who is supposedly called Joe, he phoned Andy Long and he told me to get lost and that my issues were with AUTO INSPECTION as they are the ones who issued the MOT, also Joe told me that I wouldn't get very far as AUTO INSPECTION had covered their backs with the advisories. I don't believe for a minute that corrosion can get so bad within a month. My husband is going to contact CAB and VOSA and see where to go from here,

Hi Yes it was Mot'd 2nd Feb and I picked it up that day, I have had a qualified Mot tester look at it and he said the Mot was not worth the paper it was written on!! I will start my own thread thanks, don't want this to keep happening to people

Hi I bought a car from this man 4 weeks ago, the MOT is not worth the paper it is written on, the exhaust has fallen off the car, the floor is corroded so badly that you can stick your finger through it and the pipes underneath are cable tied together. I feel so stupid trusting this con man, tomorrow I will be contacting TS and also VOSA as there is no way so much corrosion could have occured in such a short time so the MOT people are in on the conning also.
