Enginecraft Recenzje 3

This guy is a fraud and will scam you out of large amounts of money. He will hook you in with a low ball quote from his company called Enginecraft Ltd then hit you with a much larger bill for extra damage they have allegedly found. He will send you the same pictures of damage and work underway that he sends to everyone. He calls himself James Khan, but his real name is Jamil Mohammed Sadiq. I attended his so called workshop in Grays which is actually called Engines 4 Trade, they were very confused when I asked to speak to James Khan from Enginecraft. They claimed they did sub contract work and didn’t know where my car or engine was. I suspect Enginecraft does not exist as a physical operating garage. The list of victims apear to growing. I was scammed to a total of £8300 and I do not know the location of my car or engine. He has now stopped communicating with me completely. I have reported him to every organisation I could think of. Please dont become his next victim.

SCAMMER GOES UNDER THE NAME OF JAMES HIS REAL NAME IS JAMAL SADIQ
HAS NUMEROUS FAILED BUSINESS

I would be careful using this company. Once they had my car they doubled the amount they needed and put a lot of pressure on me to pay it before the warranty company had had a chance to consider it - (bank transfer only so you have very little protection).

Initially, they didn’t even provide a detailed invoice - just a text asking for a further £4,000 after the initial £750. Some of what they said didn’t seem to be true - for instance, saying that they needed to provide the part number to the warrant company (fine) and couldn’t do so until I’d paid for the parts (seems untrue).

When I did get a detailed invoice, the prices quoted didn’t seem to match internet searches and some of the parts seemed to be discontinued.

Once I decided to remove my car I was presented with another demand for money - saying that some work had apparently been done over the weekend - this specifically went against the conversation we had had on Friday when I requested they wait until I’d spoken to the warranty company - and also went against what they said about not being able to do work without an additional £4000 upfront.

I ended up paying this additional charge under protest to get my car back, if I hadn’t, they said they were going to start charging me £95 a day storage - despite it saying £50 a day in their contract.

As they never did anything to fix my car I can’t comment on how good they are as mechanics - but I’ve spent over a thousand pounds with them (to be fair £250 of that was initial recovery of the vehicle) and my car is in a worse state then it was when they got it. Furthermore, the information they provided the warranty company was lacking fault codes and a justification for the replacement oil pump, so further information would have been required even if I had stayed with them - This doesn’t make me feel confident that the process would have been quick or efficient - and it undoubtedly would have been expensive with my car held hostage.

The company was newly formed in the summer - I am not totally sure that the VAT number matches the name of the company - and I suspect that when the company has too many angry customers it dissolves and they start another. I might be wrong.

Final note - it says it has a high score on trust pilot and ‘James’ repeatedly told me they had 8-10 new cars a week - also sometimes said 8-10 new cars a day to push me into paying the money so I didn’t go to the back of the queue - but my review is the first. It doesn’t quite stack up. My advice would be to proceed with caution if you choose to use them - I wish I hadn’t.
