Not is all as it would seem

I bought a car from Alastair Cars last year and to be honest I have had nothing but problems. From the initial purchase things were dealt with shoddily. Had some work done on refurbing the wheels. When the car came back it was missing a bolt on 3 of the wheels. Waited a week for rear parking sensors to be installed only to find it was not done when I came to collect it. Installer was doing it when i came to collect it. Didn't bother to mask the area when he sprayed the sensors leaving paint smeared around the installation area. Alistair cars cleaned it up but made me feel like I was being argumentative. 6 months after purchase had a massive moisture issue. Took a while to annor it down to 3 inches of water standing in the boot. My usual garage reckoned it had been there for quite a while. Alistair cars did helped me to clean the water out and remove the rusted jack but really didn't want to know beyond that. Then less than a year after getting the car, had it MOT'd only to find significant corrosion underneath it. Just had to replace the front calipers, discs and pads after they seized for around £500. And to top it all, one of my neighbours hit the side of the car. However what it revealed was that the car had been in a significant accident before. I was told it had never been in an accident. Have also been told that whoever did the job did it poorly. All in all a horrible experience and I would never consider using these guys again. Car may have looked good but all that glitters is not gold, particularly in this case!!
