Moorfield Motor Services

Took the car in to get the water pump fixed, upon collecting the car our bill was suddenly double what we'd been quoted and told that actually we need a new starter motor now too and wanted to do that there and then. There had been absolutely no problems with the starter motor prior to this and when car had previously been at a different mechanic this was never mentioned, so we declined.

Today the car is now stuck in a car park due to the starter motor suddenly blowing.
So we paid £310 to get one problem fixed and came away with a whole new costly problem - which he wanted to charge us to do of course.

Now after having 2 mechanics look all round the car, one which worked for Ford, I can now confirm that the starter motor has been purposely broken. The connection has been smashed with a hammer and starter motor rammed back in.

We took the car in with a leak. He has apparently fixed the water pump. The car is still leaking from the same place it was when we took it in. It is also now a write off and we are going to have to get a new car while going down the route of small claims court. Thankfully the phone call where he quoted £160 was recorded.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!
