Avoid

If I could give a minus score I would but unfortunately the lowest is 1. So…. Where do I start? Initial problems were resolved promptly and efficiently and was happy until however a few months later the wheels which looked perfect started to show their true colours and Colour being the right word….. spray painted and a bad job at that!!! We knew they had been refurbished!!!! But never expected it to wear off a few months later. Also bits of the car had been spray painted and very well concealed by the valeters, by 6 months the body work was showing its true age as the mask wore off. NOW a year on after a routine oil change we have discovered that a significant oil leak had been patched up with oil stop leak fluid. When fresh oil put in the engine began to leak from the rear crankshaft oil seal. Looking in the belly pan we could see that there was old evidence of leakage, not something that would have been seen at point of sale unless I removed the belly pan. Looking now at a very expensive repair to be done to rectify the issue, in excess of 10 hours labour. Just hope that the oil stop leak fluid hasn’t caused more damage to the engine and turbo. AVOID IF YOU CAN BUT IF NOT MAKE SURE YOU FULLY EXAMINE THE CAR ON YOUR KNEES!!! The car was serviced before collection and stamped therefore the person doing the oil change KNEW there was a leak.
