Having blown up far too many customers cars, they thankfully went under. One of them is still trading as a breaker and has an FB page but I wouldn't waste your time frankly

Doesn't look like Mark Cook was a Director.

I'm in Wing every now and then and I didn't even know these cowboys were there! I can always pop my head in when I'm next in the area if needed? They are about half hour from me.

On his own SNET profile page he's been called Mark by someone and his username is Cookster, plus I remember his green type R that's the image on his websites. That's most certainly him.

Yes, that is Mark. After Joe left Mark was the 'Mechanic' and was responsible for far too many horror stories. He eventually walked away and left James (known as Jamie) with a bunch of people threatening to sue. Some small refunds were paid after much chasing and threatening but many people were left several thousands of pounds out of pocket. James now trades as something like James Subaru Spares but you'll be in for a long wait if you order anything.

Dont know them but also read the horror stories. 1 guy had a build/repairs done for his disabled mum which they claimed they had used RCM parts but when they got the car back there was nothing RCM on it and the headgaskets failed within 3 months. Think her name is Jan Turner.

Seems to be a fair amount of info on facebook so may be worth asking on there?

I met Jan Turner and her son at a meet earlier this year and heard about their problems with JJM. Absolutely shocking! Only a few thousand miles after they rebuilt her engine (for the second time I believe) the head gasket went. I don't know how that panned out in the end or whose fault it was but I know her family were out of pocket for masses of money.

As a guess, Are RCM chasing outstanding debts?

There is a Jamie Reem Kirsop on facebook who is a former co-owner / founder at Herts Scooby repairs and spare in Watford. I know it's 40 minutes away from Wing, but is that just a complete coincidence? Is this a different person as that Jamie seems to be a Watford lad.

May well be the same person actually as he's posted on the JJM facebook page before.

Stockcar, are we allowed to know the issue you have had with them? There's quite a few of us been burned by them in the past so can maybe help.

Very local to me and I've been tempted to buy some of their parts, which I would have collected in person and therefore checked before parting with cash.

It's not the parts that were the problem - it's the £1000's people are owed for blown engines. I'm out by over 5k. Soon as people started asking for money back they shut the company down. They carried on selling breakers and parts but instead of paying people back, the money went in their own pockets.

looks like he is attempting to get the company wound up so maybe there are more than a few "problems"

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/c...00647/officers

would suggest anyone with an 'interest' writes to companies house using the info on the Strike PDF and puts their case for the company to remain active........

Anyone who paid by bank transfer, particularly anyone who paid to their personal bank accounts rather than JJM.
Go for a chargeback through your bank. The bank don’t let on that you actually have 540 days to do so.
