Awful service selling cars not pre check
you and your wife test drive the car that you were interested in.
As you did not have the vehicle that you wished to part exchange with you,you returned the following day for me to value it.
Taking in to account that your car had covered 108000 miles and required both bumpers to be repainted,all 4 wheels in need of refurbishment,and 1 tyre to be replaced,i valued it at £660.
After lengthy negotiations with you,i agreed to increase my offer to £895 and reduce the price of our car by £100.
After going away,you phone me later that day to say you were happy with the deal and offered me a part payment of £500,which i accepted.
On wednesday 28th August 2019 your wife phoned me to say that she could not afford the car.By this time the vehicle had been MOT"d and prepared for you.
Regards Alan, A B Autos

My partner brought a car here in November 2022 from James the owner who should be called Del trotter, and his side kick Alan, who's been in the trade for many years.... don't be fooled by his old face and friendly ways, neither are to be trusted.
When first looking at the car I asked if the cam belt had been changed with the cars yearly servicing, I was told yes by James, on further examination i went through the service history receipts myself, I saw that it was only changed along with the water pump and thermostat due to overheating issues.
I was assured the car was ok and all checks were done (as A B autos are an #RAC registered trader) so I took the car for a test drive it seemed OK. Took it home and then the trouble started first evening.
All weird lighting up of dials and electrical faults which stopped after a minute or two . The following day the water censor light came on. My partner called them, and Alan was like bring the car back in a few days and AB autos will fix the censor issue, but my partner would have to go back again to get the electrical issue sorted.
This would have meant over an hour and a half drive each visit to their mechanic of driving, along with arranging for someone to collect my partner as well to bring her home and return her to collect the vehicle when repaired which was ridiculous, as well as being without a car for more days, as it couldn't be used due to not knowing what the issues were and if it was safe to drive.
After some shouting Alan agreed to refund the car and tax money (James the owner), used my partners money to put 6 months tax on the car rather then giving her a discount ,and she taxing it herself which was wrong.
I drove her to AB trotters independent traders so she could collect her money and return the car. She went in by herself and Alan (not to be trusted), held back a 100 pound of her money saying she would get the money back when the car was sold with the tax on it.
My partner never owned the car, (log book wasn't even sent off in her name ), so I messeged james about her money obviously quite upset, as he never returned messeges and didn't want to talk about the issue, he eventually messeged back and stated the government had my partners money lol, which I did find funny as he was deliberately holding her money back for whatever reason. I did tell him that what he was doing was theft as the log book wasn't even sent off....
Her 100 pound wasn't returned for over two weeks , when it eventually was it £25 short with no explaining why. I'm suspecting he'll say it was to clean the car which he should have not have taken as the car wasn't ready to be sold in the first place and my partner and I wasted hours driving back and forth to his dodgy show room.
Don't believe a word they say or trust either of them ,Dodgy car dealers don't even cover it and cars aren't fit for purpose . Couple of con men.
