Adam the mechanic

Delightful if I a little expensive. Thanks

Well where do I start. Firstly, I must say I’ve read the reviews here and they don’t seem to match up with the absolute shambolic experience I had. But a quick google suggests it’s easy enough to start a new account and leave yourself a few 5* ratings to drag the score up.
Now the car. A polo. 1.2, for my niece. She found the car online and spoke with Adam. I’ve since read back thru the messages and he was very pushy for her to come down and view the car at his unit in Aylesbury.
She went with a friend and liked the car. He told her several other people were after it so had to leave a small deposit to secure it. £1000 later and she’s secured her dream first car. At this point she calls me up to go with her to collect the car. I oblige and go with her. He turns up in the car after I guess driving it for a bit and running the hose over it/wiping it with a dirty cloth.
Made it very difficult for me to see the condition of the paintwork. The engine bay was also wet and I’m not sure what he’d done to the inside. But he said it had come from his valeters. Now. We was about to walk away as I could see oil around the back of the block and it looked like there had been some paint repair even tho he said it was a clean straight car.
I then get told she’s already left a non refundable deposit. No drama. Take the hit and save yourself months of hassle. Nope. It was £1000 and he’s refusing to give it back. We have a few words and this guy really starts to show his true colours. Gets a bit passive aggressive and borderline aggressive. I wasn’t particularly phased by this but I imagine my niece would have been if she’d been alone.
He fully refuses to refund the deposit and even threatens us with the police and legal proceedings when he can see I’m clearly not scared of him. He tells me he’s got people on the way down so we make the decision to get out of there incase he wasn’t bluffing at this point. My poor niece is £1000 out of pocket and still no car. Lucky I find her a car shortly after and I’ve sorted her lost deposit. I’m gonna be making efforts to get that money back. But going thru more official routes seems like a waste of time. The initial unit we met him at isn’t his premises. And it was locked up when I went back the other day. The neighbouring business confirmed he didn’t have a unit here and this wasn’t the first time someone come looking for him.
I’ll be heading back soon believe me. But to anyone who’s took the time to read this. Please avoid this tool and disregard the positive reviews as they look doctored to me

Always does my business signage when I fancy updating it. They’ll even fit it too if you need. I don’t tho. As I’m more than capable. But a great offering. Thanks BE

I’ve had the old nag for years now and this place are great for supplies. Thanks.
