11am day of my holiday (96 mile trip there & 96 miles on return)
- took car to a garage. Prognosis being 2 illegal rear tyre & 2 badly worn & unsafe front tyres.
Called the company eagle motors - apparently the are'nt trading anymore theyve sold the business on! they told me to drive the car to their garage advised malik the outcome as per tyre pros he fully knowing the car was not roadworthy insisted on me driving all the way to the main place in Luton Beds. After thoughts of the risk to both my small child & I, I declined the offer to drive the unroadworthy car. I was given price for 4 new tyres, I told malik the price & he said call my manager 'sayid' I called & he told me no I wont pay for tyres or collect car nor reimburse me - despite the facts then said the company is no longer trading not his responsibility & has now sold the business.
Ive checked with companies house they are still trading under the same name eagle motors luton ltd
despite the change of name their email address is still eagle motors the website is identical (all but the name) name is now 'Haadi
18th July the turbo went ka-put! on way home the garage wouldnt recover the car so I had to under protest pay £174. Still now the car is on my driveway!! have had to hire a car £359.00 inc 200 as deposit
Please I'd appreciate your help on this.... as no idea what I can / cant do about this legally.
