M.O. of buying broken vehicles, clearing codes and selling on for cash
This business has 5 Outstanding CCJs from the last 12 months, with good reason.
The business seems to run a modus operandi of buying broken automatic vehicles with transmission issues, claiming to have fixed them, clearing the error codes, and then taking drivers on very short test drives (less than 20 minutes) before the transmission fluid heats up.
I have verified this, with evidence, after I caught them using the service stamps of another business in Exeter who confirmed that they had never worked on the vehicle. Omni Motor Group (specifically Raja) confirmed to me several times in writing that they had completed a £2000 repair on the gearbox, providing only a hand written service book using the stamp of another workshop. The workshop were unable to verify the work had been completed by themselves. When challenged, Omni motor pulled the sale.
This fits the pattern of other reviews, where a car is sold as working, having supposedly undergone major works, only to die on the first serious drive customers make the following week. The dealer refuses to accept credit cards, and only takes cash. They even negotiated a deal to take a card, only to refuse this on the day of purchase, in an attempt to pressure people into a cash payment.
People pay cash, for cars that break down the following day or week, and the dealer refuses to accept returns as required by consumer rights, and will absolutely not honour any warranty agreement.
This is their standard mode of operations. It explains why they have faced compulsory strike off action by companies house, and as of the 23rd July 2026, have 5 outstanding and unpaid CCJs against them from customers who have purchased broken vehicles with only cleared codes.
The main dealer will rant about how he's an honest guy and never does anything dodgy. But I've got hard evidence of misrepresentation and potential fraud, as well as the historical public evidence of CCJs and poor reviews.
I will be providing everything I can to Trading Standards in hope of getting this bloke shut down, because he also owns several other businesses in the area.
