theyre well dodgy. the warranty is as good as useless (most warranties for used cars are...but keighleys is probably more useless than most!).
All the cars are accident damaged cars which have been repaired (many poorly)...ive not seen a nice car in all my forays up to west yorkshire..
Wat sort of car are you looking for?

Popped in to have a look a few years ago.  RX7 with rust on the roof, nuff said.  

Asked to look at another and the guy gave me the keys and stayed in the office.  Must have realised it wouldnt get far down the load, lol

100% Agree

The couple i\'ve seen have looked \'great\' in the pics, \'ok\' in the flesh and \'fcuking shocking\' mechanically. It\'s one big downhill slide starting as soon as you mention the word Keighley lol

As said, they buy all manner of cheap crash repaired cars and flog them off as quality used examples. Heard many stories of cars blowing up or destroying gearboxes on the road when being driven away for the first time. As soon as you\'re out of their gates, they don\'t care.

What ****es me off more than most is, search on any jap forum, anywhere in the UK and they have a bad name. Who the hell is buying from them to keep them in business?!

People on Autotrader for one! and people who dont have a clue what they are looking for. A friend of mine fancied a soarer they were selling (looked good in photo\'s but too many friends burnt) I barked him off it without even letting him see it!

I dont understand how someone with such a bad name can continue trading in car sales.  How come they never get shut down?

I have never heard 1 drop of good news about them either :rolleyes:

When i went for a wander around they had a ferrari, noble and GT2 sat in the show room.
 
Some of the cars inside looked good from a far, but up close many were absolute dogs.
 
I went fully aware of their reuptation, i just wanted to take a look at an RX7 in the flesh.

A whole bunch of other pies, but i don\'t know how much is hearsay, so i wouldn\'t want to spread nasty rumours.

All i know for certain is that a friend drove a very long way to see a car there that was certainly not as described, and in the sort of condition that you\'d not really be interested in in buying a car in, even if you wanted a super cheap \'drift project\'.

So, to recap:-

They sell \'drift spec\' cars ;)
