Do not go to this garage. The worst place to send your vehicle to be repaired.
The owner gave us incorrect advise on repairing my vehicle and decided to install a second hand engine, as he thought he could do it. This is not the case. He basically did not install parts back properly and had the vehicle for over three months, then I collected my vehicle . drove it a mile up the road and I got smoked out, enough to affect my asthma for a week, as I could not breath due to breathing in burning plastic fumes. The owner admitted to not putting a part back correctly and the manifold melted it. The owner confessed to me in his own words "I forget things and in hindsight I should have not told you I could repair your vehicle" So back the vehicle went again. He has bodged everything on the vehicle and even raised his voice over the phone to me this morning for no reason. I kept very calm as do not rise to insult!
The owner previously forced an old intercooler pipe to the manifold with an incorrect Jubilee clip which was not part of the pipe. (his words today, he did not want to spend any more money on it) Even though he did not mind taking thousands from me, when I could have put that money down on a new vehicle. This has now caused the pipe to blow and come away from the manifold. I will now be taking my vehicle to a trusted garage to have this fixed and to find out what other damage Paddock Wood Autos have caused.
My strong advice is to anyone considering using this garage, do not ever take your vehicle here. as they will lie and rob you blind.
They do not care about keeping you safe in your vehicle even if you have young grandchildren in the car.
Please be safe and go to a garage that cares and fixes your vehicle properly. read more
