WORST GARAGE EVER AVOID AVOID AVOID

Bought a Vauxhall Adam in August 2022. Wish I didn't. Drove the car straight to petrol garage after buying it late one evening. Put petrol in and the gage didn't move. Rung the bloke and he said no problem bring it back and just make sure has fuel. The next day the dash starts flashing and bleeping at me saying engine is overheating stop engine. I ring him and he says it must be a dash problem as it wouldn't be overheating as it's been checked. LOL. Sent it back to be fixed and left it with them a week as I was going away. Was told the water temp sensor, brake pads and in take fuel gauge and a 'few other little bits' had been fixed. 3 days later the dash is bleeping away telling me the engine in still overheating. He ignored me for the whole day and then had to the cheek to tell me he wasn't working that day so didn't have to reply. Ended up then overheating and smoking, luckily (if you call it that) just after I had pulled over off the A40 on the way back from an important work meeting, which then left me working off my laptop on the side of a road and waiting for them to come and recover the vehicle. Baring in mind to get through to them is like trying to get blood from a stone. To then make it worse, my neighbour knocks at my door (as we're a block of flats) and they've registered the car that I part exchanged into my name but her address? I ring the DVLA and considering I bought the car 26th Aug 2022, the DVLA received this application at end of Sept 2022. Why my old car was registered to my neighbours address I will never know. I confirmed with the DVLA they had no application by this point for the new vehicle to be in my name. This was Oct 2022 by this point. As expected these shambles of a dealer had no valid reason for me by phone so I thought I'd pop in person to see why my old vehicle is being registered to my neighbours address as I already thought they was dodgy. As expected, lie after lie and promised my log book would be applied for. Didn't feel I wasted my trip as I managed to let viewers of another vehicle let them know how awful this garage was and they thanked me and walked out. Just grateful my 7 year old daughter wasn't in the car with me when it blew up. Now the vehicle doesn't start and I've had the battery changed, and now looking at getting a new fuel pump. Had the car just short of 7 months (minus a few weeks off that as they had it back in the garage numerous times). So again I'm left without a car and forking out hundreds, because of these awful dealers.
