I'm afraid i found your posts too late. I have recently bought a car from motorswitch in widnes and i am really worried now about the comments i have read on here. The car needed several jobs doing on it and i was told they would all get done for me under my warranty. This was a couple of months ago and all i keep getting from them is excuses as to why they cant do the repairs. I wish i had found this forum before i went anywhere near this dealer. Anybody else got any more news about them?

Report them to trading standards, if they receive enough complaints they will investigate properly.

The former Seaview Road site has now been split into three different businesses. the car wash bit is run by the pizza place over the road. the cheap cars along the back wall is the guy in the yard behind the pizza place, and the cars on the front are owened by another guy. wink

unfortunately I found this site too late! I purchased a citreon off motormall last January, traded my car in for it also and paid the extra in cash. Stupidly I took the car away on the promise the minor repairs I had pointed out and that it was due an MOT 2 months later were going to be carried out within the next week! 2 days after I purchased the car the clutch went so I went straight back over to the garage to find the forecourt cleared out, which had been apparantly done in the early hours of that morning, I phoned the carsales man straight away that I had done the deal with and he pretended he knew nothing at all about it, to cut it short we ended up having a huge row on the phone and he cut me off. I ended up paying £750 on repairs that the car needed, informed trading standards who basically said i didn't have a leg to stand on unless I could find out if they were trading elsewhere. Any how 12 months on the saga continues, after my husband loses his job we have to tighten the belt and one of our 2 cars has to go, rang a garage up and they were offering me a good deal cash but obviously wanted to see the car first, took the car down to the garage he ran his tests and my car has finance outstanding on it from the previous owner, plus its a category D insurance loss, which I knew totally nothing about ( this is one of the questions i asked the salesman before I purchased as having kids want them to be safe, yes should have done an HPI check myself!!! but didn't) and basically now can't even sell the car because of the insurance loss and finance outstanding. Have telephoned the finance company and now have to prove I was an innocent purchaser in all this as I could have woke up one morning to the repo man coming to take my car away as its not legally mine it belongs to the finance company. Just wish I could get my hands on the ... bags that have done this and really do hope they get their cumuppance !

Motorswitch has now gone and (suprise suprise) opened up again under another name! Same premises,same cars,new name. How on earth this is allowed to carry on is beyond me. Further to my comments many months ago about my car needing several jobs doing on it,it has now gone completely kaput. In a nutshell it needs £700 worth of repairs to get it through its next m.o.t so now i am stuck with a worthless car i have to scrap for next to nothing & take a huge loss on the price i paid for it.
