I bought my car from these guys back in August 2017. They'd put it through its MOT just the week before and although it had failed the first time round because of its bald tyres on the back, (with a note about how tired the front two were and a recommendation that although they were just about legal, to replace them soon) they must have replaced them that evening because the next day it passed its MOT. When we first went to view the car, we obviously checked that the tyres were ok. We even took a quick look at them again before driving off with it a couple of days later, and everything seemed fine. My car must've still got its new tyres on that it passed its MOT with. We had a 3 month warranty with the car, and several things went wrong with it in those few months; one of the headlights kept going out and had to be fixed, the heater wasn't blowing hot air, the car refused to start due to a problem with the starter motor, two pipes in the engine seemed to have basically melted and needed replacing, and we had to investigate an apparent leak in the boot, which still harbours water now. For these different repairs, I often had to leave my car with the garage for several hours at a time, once overnight and another time with a garage down the road that they subbed the work out to. Generally we were happy with what seemed to be an efficient service. Although things were going wrong with the car, at least they were working hard to fix it. After having this work done, we went to stay with a relative who used to be a military car mechanic. The first thing he did was glance at my tyres, and send me straight to a garage down the road from him to get them replaced. With those tyres on, if I'd been stopped by the police I would've gained 12 points on my licence. If I'd been in a car crash, I wouldn't have been covered by my insurance. I keep my car in a locked garage every night. I work in a gated independent school with cctv on every corner. I'd driven my car nowhere else (other than my relative's house and the car garage) in this time. The tyres our relative found on my car fit the description of the tyres on the car's failed MOT to the letter. The only conclusion I could draw from this was that GPMotors had swapped the new, road worthy tyres they'd put on my car (to get it through its MOT and sell it) with the old ones they'd taken off it, when I'd taken it to them to have work done. The only plausible alternative was that the garage they'd sent me to when they subbed the work out could've been to blame. If this were the case I still felt that GPMotors were responsible as they were the ones ultimately responsible for the work done to my car, (and also the security of my vehicle while it was worked on) whether they subbed it out or not. I went back and spoke to Tom. I remained totally calm the whole time. He may have (in my opinion) cost me £300 for a new set of tyres, but I was the one legally responsible for checking them every time I got in my car. He might have stolen from me, and potentially put my life and the lives of others at risk; he may have taken me for a fool, but I'd acted like one, and I couldn't start openly accusing him of anything because I had no hard proof. I explained the whole situation to him and although he (obviously) tried to look surprised and denied all knowledge, he did say that he was sorry this had happened to me, and when I showed him how bald my spare tyre was (it was just as bad as the ones I'd been driving around on) he offered to replace it for me "as a gesture of goodwill". Make what you want of Tom and GPMotors. I'm not writing this to get emotional and say bad things about them, I just want to give an honest account of what I found it was like to buy a car from them. I wouldn't even go as far as to say don't buy a car from them. Personally I wouldn't, but wherever I do buy from in the future, GP Motors have helped me learn the hard way; ALWAYS CHECK YOUR TYRES.
