Talk in the pub is of dodgy deals, taking several cash deposits just before they did a runner. How unusual for second hand car dealers!

This place was renamed `motormall` after the original company `wallasey car centre` where named and shamed in the paper in connection with money laundering. Several staff where arrested in connection with that offence. They are still wallasey car centre with a different name.

The cars where being removed at around 10pm sunday night,next morning the place was empty omg

I `heard` they may of moved to widnes, how true this may be i have no idea.

Very shifty company though, i don`t suppose there are any old customers in here who had trouble with them?

Me and jase used to work for seaviw motors (one next to kwik fit) and they were forever `hiding` cars in our garage.

Allegedly they have declared themselves bankrup following a visit from trading standards. Not sure if it's true !!!!!

Your right they are trading in widness under the name of Motorswitch. Tan house lane is the address. Surely they cant get away with what they have done, many people have lost deposits on cars. Isnt it fraud that they have commited !!
