keighley trade centre / motorhub
had a look at a car there today and seemed really nice looked and sounded fine. but looking on the net ive seen loads of comments about how bad they are as a company with selling crap cars. Mainly jap cars like evos and scoobs and skylines etc.
Anyone had any doings with this garage at all please let me know as im dubious about buying this car now.

its a multi storey car park been converted into a huge showroom with an impressive collection of cars.

Never had any dealings but I've only ever read bad things. Their cars always seem incredibly cheap though, that is one thing I've noticed. Suppose all you can do is just check the car thoroughly, like mega thoroughly.

My friend was going to buy a 106 from there for about £150, had some tax and mot but was just a bit too tatty. I'd buy something to tool around in for a few months but nothing more

Don't buy anything from them at all, worked on a few of their cars in the past and it was always a price cutting job.
All the Subaru lads and the Mitsubishi lads won't touch them with a barge pole.

Probably cheap because they're low grade cars when imported and thats why they're cheap.
Look good on the internet, but up close they have loads of niggles.
mate bought an S14 from them 8 years ago and it wernt too bad. they did rag it from cold on the test drive though :\

The guy from wakey on here a few years ago bought a car, turned out to be duff and ended up taking them through court for a full refund. Got it in the end

Guessing most of there stock is higher than average miles also seeing as most of them are listed as 0 miles. Normally a sign of high miles.
With a generic car like the Mazda you are looking at, it can't hurt to take a look. Probably been a trade in.
I think there bad name comes from the shitty grade imports they sell.

Got a terrible reputation in the local area for shoddy patch ups as i think a fair few of their imports come As crashed vehicles which try repair in the cheap and then sell on.
Also hear storeys of dodgy mechanicals and a few of them nicking the car back after you buy it by keeping a copy if the keys :/
I'd be careful if you do go for a look

Don't even think about buying a car from these lot mate. They're as dodgy as they come. Plus the whole thing's funded by drug money.
