Default keighley trade sports and performance

what are these guys like?

seem to have a hell of a lot of stock in at the minute.

do they sell good examples, or do they just sell anything and everything?

Do a search, but their reputation is very poor indeed.

Id keep away from 'Torque of Keighley' too; they both have appalling reputations.

Got a friend who lives in Oldham who echos the same opinion as above. The black death seems to have a better rep.

I wonder how much trade we've actually cost Keighly lately as there have been quite a few posts of this nature asking if they are any good. Each time we all give the same reponse --->

They're like that damn S202 (you know the one I'm on about ), they just won't go away. Like a cockroach. Flush it away and it comes back.

As said before complete waste of time going. I went when looking for a scoob all the cars were sheds and not even worth spending much time looking at as you could tell how poor they were without getting close. I actually saw a bloke hammering a screw into a bumper of a skyline to hold the number plate on.

Hence to say I have not been back and have no plans to

I bought a 93 WRX off them, and it was solid enough. Ran low boost for a while, but that cost me 38p to fix.
I'd get an inspection if I bought from them again though, having read feedback.
