I've heard bad things about this garage, but this advertisement simply says it all, enjoy :-)

It's a sad reflection of the Scooby scene in this day and age i'm afraid.

And no, I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them based on that advert...........

I did get them banned from selling on ebay.

They came back a couple of times under different names so I reported them again.

I'm not sure if they are on again now, but if they are I will pick up the phone

They seem to have some pretty reasonable prices, but you do not get what you paid for.

I had loads of contact from other people with almost the exact same story about them.

They gave some s""te excuse in court about it being a mate of theirs that sold it to me, but the excuse failed miserably.

Yes, rather 'off your face' editing. nice to see the thorough details gone into showing the 'Twin' turbo set up and running.....

Unfortunatly my volume doesnt work on my PC so cant hear but just looks like some one kicking the *** out of a white dieing impreza?? then sum chavved up 1s?

When i first started doing what i do i got a phone call throug an ebay add saying that if i didnt stop advertiseing i was going to get a visit "and get mi head kicked in innit" that was from some one called jap parts doubtfull same one??

To be fair thought it was a joke but it happened a few times till the point that i gave them my address postcode and sat with12 mates tooled up waiting as apparently they were going to rape my mother, But they didnt turn up

If it was them I wouldn't worry mate, the weak F"£kers couldn't lift the gearbox between them when it arrived.

Yes Valid point, please do NOT assosiate the video with any other business other than the one stated in the video. There are many Jap Auto companies, but this is the one in the midlands....
