Stockwood Vale Cars - Avoid

JooFox

Anyone looking to buy a used car in Bristol.
Please avoid "Stockwood Vale Cars", they are also known as "Stockwood Vale Cars, 4x4 & Commercials" and just plain old "Stockwood Cars".

Will report back why just after I get off the phone to them :mad:

Had a bad experience myself with them. Very dodgy outfit selling death traps.
I bought from there due to the 3 month customer protect warranty. What a joke that is. They are more cowboy than Stockwood Vale Cars themself.

Sad - Idiots like this give the motor industry a bad name. When will garages like this realise that they are putting people in danger.

I really hope that lots of people read this. Same of it is that they will just start trading under a different name!

Does anyone know how they aren't listed under companies house?
I mean I didn't expect them to be, but I thought you had to be???

BJV

I don't think that they are a limited company are they i can not find much about them?

BJV

In fact type Stockwood vale cars into Google and the only mention i can find is this link the rest are ad's and listings.

And to think, used car salespeople have always been held in such high esteem.

AVOID THESE CONMEN, THEY ALSO TRADE AS BS5 MOTORS AND HIGHBRIDGE MOTORS. THEY TOLD ME THE VAN I BOUGHT HAD 80K ON THE CLOCK AND AFTER i HAD PAID I NOTICED IT HAD 187K, THEY THEN SAID THEY WOULD REFUND £200 STRAIGHT AWAY BUT THEY NEVER DID AND AFTER i DROVE AWAY WITH MY 3 AND 4 YEAR OLD IN THE VAN IT BROKE DOWN AND NEEDED NEW CLUTCH (THEY SAID IT HAD A NEW ONE), NEW GEARBOX AND BEARINGS ALONG WITH A STACK OF OTHER WORK. WHEN I TOLD THEM THEY SAID THAT THE GUY WHO SOLD ME THE VAN DID NOT ACTUALLY WORK FOR THEM AND HE ONLY USED THEIR CASH MACHINE AND THEY HAD ONLY MET HIM TWICE! COWBOYS! I HAVE CONTACTED MY SOLICITOR AND AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET SOME MONEY BACK. I REALLY DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE SO PLEASE BE WARNED!
