Iv recently had failed dealings with him. I ordered a chassis pack before xmas and sent a deposit. After 2 months of chasing and him continually sending emails saying it would be ready one week, then the next, then another excuse I finally demanded an actual delivery date.
It that point he sent an email saying he ws too busy to supply me and that we didn't 'gel' and wasn't going to supply me. His pervious email said he was waiting on more parts coming for my chassis. I have since four out that at the same tike as emailing me to say his didn't have all the parts for a chassis in he was also emailing someone else who he told he had several in stock ready to go. I emailed him several times to get him to ring me for an explanation but he did, I think he's a coward and I have absolutely no respect for him. If he'd given me the time of day to ring me then I might of just let his actions go.
His business practices are appalling, his customer service is non existent and he didn't have enough respect as a business owner to ring an un happy now ex customer. At least for his sake he refunded my money or things would have got messy.
So my advice to anyone considering ordering from him is to be wary. Sounds like he prefers to pick and choose who he suppliers to and the time frame is to suit him. The company he suggests he is, Autosport GP Engineering LTD has been dissolved since 20th June 2017. He is clearly acting as a sole trader. Not saying don't, im saying be wary, he might like you and think you 'gel' better.
Iv learned my lesson, his loss as I'm spending my money else where. Mike at Southern GT has be brilliant, you can actually talk to him on the phone and he's prompt at replying to emails. So chassis is now on order with Mike and I look forward to continuing to work with him as I build my car, so Darrens loss and Mikes gain.
