After reading some of the reviews on here I have to laugh. I bought a car here a few years ago, it was 17 years old, had definitely seen better days and was not much longer for this world. The people at the yard were not experts and nor did they claim to be. I asked about a different car I wanted but it wasn't running very well, they said I could pretty much make them an offer of peanuts to take it but I couldn't have driven it him in the state it was running. They didn't try and waffle me about it, they just admitted that they don't check the cars over and don't know what most of the faults are. Everything is sold as seen with no warranty given or implied, which was made abundantly clear to me several times. I find it baffling that people on the reviews are talking about consumer rights etc. There are none. You check it over, you buy it or don't buy it. I was happy with the car I did buy. I kept it for 18 months and for £300 it was a bargain.

"All Sorts Wrong...."

I bought a camper here, my very first. I took the van for a service the following week and found a cracked leaf spring and massive hole in the exhaust. It also needed a new battery shortly after and the two front tyres were bald. I couldn't check underneath as it was parked on muddy, wet ground. I think also that the rust that is now forcing me to get rid of my van, had been covered over, but I can't be 100% sure of that. Tbf, if I'd had more of a clue and been able to look under, I would have probably seen the stuff that was wrong but I couldn't/didn't. I've still got the van, and engine and gearbox wise, it's been pretty good. Mind you, after reading the other reviews, I'm thinking this was perhaps more luck than anything else! I might try sell the van back to them.. Excluding body work, it's actually a much better van than I bought. It'd be interesting to see what they'd offer me... 🤔

"Probably don't buy anything over £500"

Came here as I needed a run around while my car was having work done. The forecourt is like a car graveyard had to just go with what looked and sounded like it wasn't about to fall apart. The car I bought lasted the couple months I needed then I got rid of it. I would never spend any real money here but if you don't want to spend lots, and you have low expectations it's fine.

Would've happily given a nice rating & review a couple of weeks ago, but things have since changed. My car *seemed* okay when I got it, just a couple of small things that needed doing, nothing major. Sorted out at Unique MOT centre, who were absolutely brilliant by the way. Within a few days, my local garage discovered a faulty wheel cylinder which was causing some sort of leak. I gave TCC the benefit of the doubt and got it fixed myself, out of my own pocket. I then had my engine light coming on a week after that, and it turned out to be an issue with the timing belt, which I later discovered hadn't been serviced for 9 years. Apparently it's 'not their problem'. The part that upset me the most wasn't the issues with the car, but the fact that I described the issue to TCC and I was laughed at down the phone, and when I mentioned my consumer rights I was spoken to with a sarcastic tone. I was told "There's no way to tell if a timing belt is on its way out,". Basically claiming the mechanic at my local garage with 40+ years experience is wrong. Even though the engine light literally came on to warn me about the timing belt? So obviously there is a way to tell - the mechanic showed me the belt once he removed it, it was cracked and frayed so you could see it needed changing. I've since had 3 more underlying problems which I've also had to have repaired, so in total I've spent about £450 on repairs since buying the vehicle. Luckily I have AA parts cover which helps with a small amount of it, but I've still had to pay the majority. Someone else might not be so lucky and will get stung for full whack. Do I want to go down the route of trading standards and small claims? Absolutely not, it's a massive drain on everyone's time and resources. But I feel backed into a corner on this one. I'm genuinely disappointed because I got a good feeling from them initially, nice family-style setup with honest salespeople. But I just can't get past the issues with the car and the way I was spoken to the other day. Laughing at someone down the phone is downright disrespectful. I consider myself a nice, fair bloke but I can't forgive that.

Clackheaton car and van centre ( Ebay name ) bought a van £8500 a week later the engine started to knock badly . Rang them bsck up as I was in my 30 days they messsd me about for 3 week till the warrenty was up then laughed at me when I said I wanted a refund . I’ve since then found a reciept for a engine so rang the company . It had a replacement engine a week before I bought it . They refuse to deal with me so Iv made there life hell by constantly ringing them 400 times a day to jam there lines . Now they are threatening me .

I read all these reports of trade cars. I am on my sixth car from them you get a good deal the cars come as is which saves me money. I clean it, it goes to my mechanic to have it serviced & checked over as I do not trust other garages. I have never had a bad word with them & any problems with any of the cars we have come to a good solution.

I take it you work for them wise up

Theses guys are bigger cowboys than John Wayne. !!! They have been getting away with selling death trap cars for far to long . I should know i was unfortunate to buy one . I am so HAPPY to hear of them getting fined , but doubt that it will stop them. ? They need closing down for good and stopping ever selling cars again .
