Well what I paid for was a refurbed driveshaft(£60) for my berlingo NSF.

What I actually got was a butchered piece of  rubbish.

The outer boot ring was obviously put on with a hammer and screwdriver and the boot was split allowing grease to leak, the other side of the ring the boot was also split and you could see the screwdriver mark had caused the split..on top of this the cv joint was messed along with the retaining ring and was worse than the one I needed to replace...I rang the guy up and was told 'I have been doing this for 35 years' the state of the refurb suggested 35 mins..I would upload pics of the shaft if I could, it was a joke, this guy is obviously a dirty ripping off .he suggested I order a shaft from an AUTO PARTS SUPPLIER..Which I had to do and rather than mess about I had to use his driveshaft to trade as they wanted the old shaft or a surcharge...I could have sent Motorhogs one back but to be honestfrom the sound of him I wouldn't see my money back either...DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DIRTY RIPPING OFF PIECE OF LYING USELESS....HE SHOULD NOT BE TRADING...HE IS ONE TO AVOID....NEVER RING MOTORHOG,  IF YOU WANT A PART THAT WORKS....

Recently i phoned motorhog church lane enquiring about a bmw 520d and asked if someone can check the car to see if the rads have been damaged and if the seat airbags had been blown.i was told that they will comeback to me.waited two days and no answer,rang back was told they dont have staff.its the same excuse everytime.i was told to come down and have a look.i live in london and they expect me to drive 4 hours there and 4 hours back to see one car.where as it would take them 5 minutes.

Thd photos they put on there are very deceiving.cleaverly taken to hide damage.this is a case trading standards need to get involved.

The manager wont speak to you so what is his role i dont understand

The girls in the office state were not mechanic but all i was asking was simple questions even a 5 year child could answer.

If you dont have staff then employ more staff if you cant offer a service then give someone else a chance.

Also i finding is the same cars appear again.my gut feeling is that they are pushing the prices up then selves

So the bottom line is dont buy from motorhog Doncaster church lane.

Purchased a HPI clear non runner Audi from Motorhog and upon delivery realised the vehicle has been totally stripped of anything not bolted down.

Spare wheel,mats,battery,book pack,navigation dvd,sump,3 engine mountings,engine bracket, sway bar, timing belt cover, turbo inlet pipe, diesel injectors, injector wiring harness,engine cover,engine under tray all vacuum lines and I suspect more items are missing once I get deeper into it.

I managed to get hold of the garage who had the vehicle in for repairs and they assured me the vehicle was complete with nothing missing when it was collected by Motorhog.

Contacted Motorhog and was given the details for Martin Horsfield the Motor Salvage Manager, after several emails trying to get to an satisfactory resolution I was told I had 1 day to return vehicle (cost £260 in transportation and would cost £260 again to return) and he would only refund for the vehicle not the auction fees meaning I would essentially be £920 out of pocket due to them not describing a vehicle properly.

Motorhog has now told me they will not discuss this further and that is the end of the matter, my account has been suspended due to me being in dispute like so many others that you hear about in reviews.

Long and short of it is Motorhog do not describe vehicles accurately and try to hide faults, they also seem to strip vehicles for parts to stock their parts department to essentially make more money. When challenged they are not interested in communication with the outcome being a suspended account for the ripped off customer.

I hope this review stops someone from being tempted to bid on an online action from motorhog as you may well find yourself in a similar situation. If you do intend to bid please go inspect the vehicle thoroughly or you will be disappointed.

I went to motorhog to have my own tyres fitted.

It took two members of staff over two hours to replace three of the four tyres.

Then the compressor broke. I was told that I would have to take my car to a garage 2 miles away to have the last tyre fitted. This seemed to be perfectly acceptable to motorhog even though I would be driving a car with two different sized tyres on one axle which is a criminal offence! Luckily a friend was able to take the wheel for me as motorhog were clearly not going to!!

I had the fourth tyre fitted at the other garage and returned home to find that I'd lost an hub cap and the rotation on one tyre was incorrect!!!!

I have never experienced such poor service and incompetency

As soon as you dare complain they will freeze your account in an attempt to withhold evidence.

The first car we brought from them was clocked by over 31,000 miles. This company has completely refused to help us establish the reason or origin of this discrepancy. They take a tough luck should have read the small print attitude and don't give a monkeys about there customers.

The second car we brought turned up with loads of bits unbolted from it costing over £500 to replace even though the bits were in the pictures when we bid. They said they need bits for other cars they were doing up in there yard and just laughed at us also saying you should have collected it yourself mate!!

motorhog tries to rely on and hide behind its shaky terms and conditions to get out of everything which they are serious mistaken will protect them. We have reported them to Doncaster Trading Standards and taken legal action in the county court to recover our losses.

They will take your money and blatantly rip you off. We have been buying salvage vehicles for over 15 years and never ever have we ever come across anything quite like this lot, SHOCKING!!!
