Default midlands scooby possie help please

hello
my scoobys engine blew up,con rod snapped and smashed engine to bits,was doing 150mph.
got a quote for a fully reconditioned engine from a place called macc (midland auto care center) in birmingham, it cost me 2500 pound,got car back,macc had smashed my front bumper,various scratches to car,electrical faults,broke glove box and left chicken bones in engine bay,worsed of all i got ripped they fitted a second hand engine with loads of oil leaks and basically have nearly destroyed my car,my scooby is my pride and joy,had loads of hassle over the months with the company,now in hands of solicitors,might have to goto court,they are a bunch of liers and con artists,i live in newcastle upon tyne which is 4 hrs drive to birmingham,i basically would like to know if anyone else has been conned or have used this garage,or had any problems at all with them,they say they are a big company and say they are the best at scoobys,if possible could someone check them out for me,even a drive past to see if its a small buisness,i know i will get done even at court if i win and the only way i will get copensation is if i find out where the bosses house is in birmingham,so the court can send the baylifts round.
honestly this has had me head done in for months any bodys help will be excellent.
i have the name of boss the address of unit,and phone numbers to contact maccs,if this would help
cheers phil
silver scooby newcastle upon tyne

Can't believe you don't remember where you were when your engine went pop whilst doing a "Claimed 150" , why travel all the way to B'ham from the North East for a Recon engine, when there are reputable people closer?
Doesn't add up ??????
