I brought a car on finance from mjc motors and within 6 weeks of buying the car I had problems, took it to a garage ( that mjc motors recommended) and within 10 minutes of picking it up and driving off an ( oil pressure fault stop the car) light came on. Took it back to the garage and they couldn't fix the problem ( also said there was 60 odd electrical fault codes coming up on the code reader) mjc motors then said they would take it to another garage, mjc motors then called me to say the car needed a new engine and that mjc motors would pay 900 if I paid 900, I agreed. After weeks of me not having a car and being lead to believe the car was having a new engine fitted I was called to say the car actually didn't need a new engine and just needed a new cambelt and some other smaller things fixed. I was then called to say that the new cambelt etc had been fitted and the car was fixed so I could pick it up. Upon arrival to collect the car Karl said he was unable to access the receipts for the work so wrote them out on a piece of paper( which after saying to him on the phone I really wanted the receipts and him saying they would be there, I thought was dodgy) After paying 350 for the 'new cambelt etc' karl turned my car on... as soon as he did I knew it hadn't been fixed at all, the Rev meter was bouncing all over the place while the car was idil and the engine was spluttering and kept cutting out also had an awful smell of petrol. Karl was adamant that all peugot 208s do that and it's normal and just kept telling me to take the car. At this point I refused to take the car and had a refund for the 350 I had paid, Karl said he would take it to another garage. Karl then called me to say the problem was something else and asked if I would like them to proceed with fixing it I said I would call them back when id thought about it as my finance company had told me not to go ahead with any more repairs. I was then contacted weeks later by my finance company to say that mjc motors had said the car was repaired and ready to collect. ( I had not agreed to this) Again I turned up to collect the car and the car was in the exact same condition ( Rev meter bouncing when idle and engine spluttering cutting out) again I said this was not right or fixed. At this point the guy I was dealing with ( not sure if his name) raised his voice saying they'd spent 900 pound on this car and that it was fine there was nothing wrong with it, he then took the ' reciepts ' he had given me back off me and when I said I need the receipts he said he had paid for it so they were his, he then eventually agreed he would photo copy the receipts for me and when he brought them back i knew they wernt legit as they were crumpled,dirty, screen shots of how much a cambelt costs to replace in a peugot 208 and had numbers written on the back, when i pulled him up on this he got angry, snatched the receipts out of my hand and personally insulted me. Long story short, on the advice of my finance company I got an independent engineer to come and write a report on the car. They found the cambelt had definitely not been replaced ( so mjc motors lied and tried to make me pay for work that had never been done) the finance company then got their own engineer to come and assess the vehicle and again they said the exact same thing so finally I have been able to reject the vehicle and get my finance closed. This company is not to be trusted, they saw a young female who ' didn't have a clue about cars' and thought they could take advantage. After reading the good reviews on trust pilot about this company ' Karl Johnson' comes up as a positive review which is interesting as Karl Johnson' is the person I dealt with for most of my ordeal with mjc motors, it could be a coincidence but after dealing with this unreliable company I would not be shocked if they were writing their own reviews. Please for your own sake stay away!
