Apologies for the muted sections, had some copyright issues , all Scotties fault!!

this lad is a wonderful person. I hope he finds the new premises as soon as possible.

I’d say leave the expansion tank repair as ‘good-will’ 👍

Bloody hell, the landlord need her head testing, she is lucky anyone is leasing her units at all in this current climate, and she is lucky to have people like you running your business from there because the site always looks clean and tidy an a landlords these days would give the right arm to have tenants like you! The mind boggles but probably the push you need to better your business!

I really like this channel, thank you for your time and effort in making these videos.

I've got a feeling you moving to your own premises maybe the best thing that happens to your business. Good luck

In these troubled times, good luck to the landlord in finding a new tenant quickly! Anyway - onwards and upwards!

Let’s look at this as a blessing in disguising and you can find somewhere better where you are wanted. I know it sucks but im sure this isn’t the end.

Two car sold..... goodwill. Hard luck about the sales but if their getting dirty from the yard next door may as well move. Or just store them there and sell from home. She can’t really complain about you storing them. Good vid. Thank for sharing.

There’s a unit going at chivenor, right at the back next door to propaints. It’s got an indoor unit and a lock up external space for approx 20-25 small cars. I got some bodywork done 2 weeks ago at pro paints and the other company were moving out that day. He said they didn’t have a new tenant but that was 2 weeks ago. Worth a look.

Found this video in the recommended section! This is exactly the kind of thing in my end goal plans! Just subscribed and will definitely be checking out previous videos :)

Came across your channel by chance and I must say your customer service is second to none. You take time and care about your customers and I wish you all the luck in the future and hope you find somewhere suitable. Your current landlord is losing a great tenant and probably won’t find another like you . Good luck.

Hi James hope you are staying safe and well and sorry to hear about the problems with your landlord and hope you can find a new unit soon and good luck with finding a new unit

Good luck, mate. might be the best thing moving on with your business. 👍 BTW You can apply those long decals wet, squeeze out ther water with a squeegee and they stick perfectly, you can move them about while they are wet. There is plenty on youtube about how to. Might be handy for the next time you have to so some.

Good luck with finding a new unit. I really enjoy watching your videos. Your a really honest and kind dealer who go's out of his way to help people. Another good product for interior dressing is poorboys natural look dressing :)

White Vauxhall Corsa - definitely free of charge, repeated customer, word of mouth goes along way towards a good reputation. - But it wouldn’t hurt them to place a £10 note in your tea boat or supply you with a few packets of biscuits!! It’s a real shame about having to find another location ......but “every cloud has a silver lining” .... are there any petrol stations locally that have just closed down, they might make an ideal car sales area? You come across as being an extremely hard working person - and very determined to succeed, it could be the making of you! All the best! 👍🙏

I’d say goodwill, since they have bought 2 cars and are likely to buy in future 👍

On hot summer days i take the seats and carpets out and use the big steam cleaner. All done by 11 am and dry by 5 pm. They look like factory.

Hi James congratulations on getting over 5,000 subscribers and well as always for your work on the cars and the videos as always as well

A tip on the trim,tie a peice of string and pull it to the side out of the ,otherwise i love your channel always interesting,keep up you deserve to be rewarded for your hard work and dedication, hard work and honesty 👍speaking as a mechanic of 45 years +.

Think a free repair on the Corsa as it was basically a glue job is good business sense for goodwill especially as they've been good customers. You're being generous on that Alto putting a warranty on it...I'd expect the 30 day or 1000 miles if I bought that and the customer pays for anything beyond that. Shame the landlord has put the brakes on but to be fair I guess it wasn't in the terms of the rental, fair of them not to put an immediate stop. Guess it's just forced your hand to take the steps you were going to take anyway, wish you luck James on finding somewhere more suitable.

Only just found your channel, so I’m playing catch up with your uploads.. Glad you did the expansion bottle fix with no charge. Given that they’ve bought previous cars.. putting out goodwill and positive karma will be reciprocated just when you need it 👍🏼 Appreciate the effort it takes to work on cars and film at the same time! 👊🏼

Goodwill, but I would give an advisory that if unfortunately the customer breaks it, they pay for it. They sound like good customers , so good customer service is 🔑

When ever i have bad news like this, i've gone on the find better and do better, good luck fella. p.s love old skool dance music :)

Thats tough James. Good luck with the search for new premises.

The little Alto looks worth every penny, I am sure the new premises will be a step in the direction. Wishing you good look.

Great video mate, very disappointing news. What's wrong with that landlord very weird. Good luck in the near future

Good luck finding a new sales pitch, same happened to a local guy I know, he’d rented the same place for 20 yrs! He ended up buying an ex main dealer site - which included Eastern European car valets living on the premises. Worked out ok for him in the end!

Just found your channel and I love your honesty, thank you. I’m sure you will find what you want. I subscribed👍👍👍

Ide say good will on the corsa Happy customers always come back 👌

Onwards and upwards for yourself now. It may seem harsh she’s told you to wind down on car sales. But in truth you would be better off in a bigger unit where the cars can be kept inside. It would make viewing in winter more pleasurable for potential customers. I manage in a retail environment myself and find if items are displayed correctly, even things that sell in low volumes. They will sell if displayed and priced competitively. As for the header tank, do it in good will.

Sorry to hear of your hassle hope all goes well will keep watching.👍👍👍

What a straight up, honest guy much respect 👍👍👍

Good will for sure. Important to keep those customers coming back and good will ensures repeat customers

Next time the Autosmart guy comes around, order 5 litres of "FINISH" It's a great dressing for all your plastics, tyres engine bay plastics etc. Plus it smells nice. Squirts some on to a clean new sponge and wipe the dash/ plastics etc.

You are such a nice guy, and I like your videos. I would like to give you some friendly advice: Appearance is everything. And to be honest, your shop doesn't look very professional and would probably not pass a fire inspection. In your next shop, throw some fresh paint on the walls and get some proper shelves, so you don't need to have everything on the floor, it doesn't look very good. And throw out the trash every day instead of collecting it in the corners. This will make a good impression on customers as well. I really hope you don't take this the wrong way, just trying to help. I used to have a shop for many years and in the beginning it looked a lot like your place, then I had some fire inspectors come visit me one day together with the land lord and they were not impressed to say the least. Oil, paper and sparks is a disaster waiting to happen. Put yourself in your landlords situation, would you like to be responsible for that? I cleaned up the place and did some investments, best thing I ever did, working in a clean and nice space is so much better for you. Good luck mate!

Units that like the motor trade are rare, especially in Devon!, we are also trying to find storage (also in Devon)but unless you’re sat on a stack of cash pretty tough.

Good luck in finding premises. I'm really struggling to find any in Sussex 😐 I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🙂

A mate of mine had same problem so he got a unit and sold car in the front part with some nice lights and did repairs at the back half and never looked back maybe it'll work for yourself .

Always goodwill for repeat / loyal customers especailly with no parts cost

Definitely good will on the white Vauxhall it was only a hour of time for a what seems a repeat customer. I’ve been to a lot garages and they are on farms where it is cheap and plenty of space and in Devon I would imagine you could pick and choose. As a customer going out a little way is not an issue as you about to spend £1,000’s. Anyway good luck in your search for new premises

Brilliant video. I like the way you present your videos. I have been watching for a few months now. All I can say absolutely brilliant. You need to show your face in the video. I am curious to know who is behind the camera. Regarding the land lady who does not want you to sell your out side the premises. What is her problem you are paying her rent for the premises you are working in.

Goodwill, given you have sold to friends/family of the customer. Until you said that, I was thinking to charge.

Defiantly goodwill on this one, been a good customer and will continue to be so, and recommend friends

If they are telling you to stop, it's because they don't like how successful you are......

Perfectly acceptable to charge for it but I’d give it to them in good will. Especially they are repeat buyers. A few quid isn’t worth the word of mouth they will spread around and potential third car from you when needed.

Perhaps a move will be the next big step. Be brave, it'll be hard but will pay off massively I'm sure. Good luck and we'll be with you all the way. 👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

sad times James good luck !! :)

Hope you find a new place cause your doing such a great job..

Being honest and fair the way you are going. You will go fare keep it up what your doing is great. I would buy from you👍

Goodwill on the tank,you will get that repaid ten fold ,where are you from scottie,im from Glasgow now in SA.?

Did you put a gromet in that drain hole in the Alto boot?

In the current economic climate, that's a bit crap from the landlord. Hope you find the perfect place to build your business and channel soon. Only discovered your channel a couple of months ago but really enjoy the videos. Best of luck with finding a unit and the move.

Onwards and upwards good luck to you. I enjoy your channel and I think your hard work will pay off

Definitely do ot charge the customer for Fixing the knocking noise as they are regulars and will appreciate you fixed something outside the warranty period.

Good luck with the new premises. Hope you find somewhere soon,,,

good luck and best wishes to you, love watching your uploads, rare to find an honest fella , again, best wishes

G101 and a Magic Eraser brings textured plastics up like new.

That rot round the sunroof on the 106.......... was it an aftermarket fit by any chance?

Great job James don't give up something will turn up

May be a blessing as the business is growing and the space was not lending itself to building a bigger brand / presence.

Good vids Chopper. Unfortunately lots of landlords dislike motor trade....

Good luck sorting new premises

Sometimes a change of location can give you a wider perspective of what you’re trying to achieve, if you’re new place is easy to find or in a place where people are passing them that has to be a good thing

A good boss of mine said you can provide free service but it has to have some value.. in your case provide it free but make sure you detail the cost on the invoice and that you have provided it free of charge out of warranty. Customer realises your a good guy and comes back

The vast majority of Bona fide motor traders prep the cars properly. Gone are the days when you threw a bucket of water over it and put a bandage on the exhaust. It's went full circle where almost every niggle has to addressed whereas the private sellers are expecting retail money for a car that hasn't even been cleaned properly let alone mechanically inspected on a ramp.

Buy me a Coffee for the expansion tank repair😉👍👍👍 You need a head- or body mounth for your go pro, so you have your hands free.

Wow that car came up really well with the g 101 and are you pleased with the results

Definitely Good Will

This is the problem I'm facing, every landlord wont let anything to a mechanic near me, yet builders, engineering shops and everything else is fine

I just closed my small car dealership today .could not take the Mental abuse no more-money isn’t everything... used to b worries about selling cars .now worries about. Using them -that’s enough for me

Hi James,as for the corsa we would do it as good will.As for the car sales look at it as being positive,we found a pitch on a island in a medium size town with a four bay worksop,we never had to pay to advertise our cars,problem we had was finding stock and prepairing it quick enough,best of luck and hope you are sorted quickly,onwards and upwards.IT,s the same all over the country know one wants motor trade,to high a risk to much mess a lot of the time.

Good luck with new premises search. Sorry, I dont know Devon enough to help. A lot of Midlands pitches use petrol filling stations that have shut down. I often see hand car washes start up in them too. Is there that type of property available in your area?

Hi, loving your channel, bingeing at present as off with a broken shoulder! 😕 Is that G101 you’re cleaning with? Where did you get the sprayer from too? Great insight into car sales. Thanks.

Planning permission rules were recently changed - merging some categories and splitting others (though also depends what is in the lease agreement), Also I presume no sale prices are shown on the cars so its tricky to prove where advertising for and contract etc actually made. I guess what the use of the units is intended for is the mechanical workshop - which is what they are being used for bar the final five mins of cash changing hands !

Good will , will go a long way in the future

Totally get your point about losing the support network you've got at the current unit, but agree a larger site will give you more opportunities to build up stock. Onwards and upwards ☑️

If it were me i would do the header tank as goodwill, repeat custom is a blessing and should be treasured. That one freebie could lead to plenty of sales. As for the premises, onwards and upwards. I hope you find something soon and it allows you to expand. The world needs a few more honest used car dealers.

What about Tree Beech enterprise park at Gunn they are building more units and its only 6 miles out of town!

Definitely good will gesture for the expansion tank good luck on finding new premises

Very best wishes for the move to new premises. Your reputation will follow you there.

Sometimes an external nudge is what you need to make the big steps. Onwards and upwards.

Good will may as well because you have a happy customer who will return and probably keep returning to you.....

No charge for the water tank repair.

That’ mg looks really nice and hope you can get a new fuel pump for it soon

Corsa expansion tank. I would actually charge but not much obviously but time did go into understanding the issue before fixing it. Fair play this is the 2nd car they purchased but customers should be expected to pay since it is out of warranty and their loyalty and repeat business should not be based upon you giving free work out of goodwill.

I would not charge for that it's only cost your time , I would always say in these positions if customer buys the parts and you fit them both sides should be happy , you haven't spent any money and the customer has a cheeper bill

Just come across your great channel, In the early 90s I used to buy and sell Audi coupe gt's, the 1982-91 models Ur 10 value and the later 20 valve turbo Quattro's. If only had known then because these cars are rare but worth a bloody fortune now. I have now bought an early low mileage Audi TT and one of the first generation of the Ford focus that I will store as an investment because they are going to be a future classics and worth good money within the next 10 or so years, its better than having the money in the bank. Keep up the good work and all the best for the future.

Landlord could be asking for trouble, She’s got a good tenant, pays his rent, she could get a nightmare tenant , doesn’t pay on time , leaves a mess etc etc

Just for your information the decals on the rear should be more in the middle of the rear light and rear screen. And the front decal does look too short their are loads of images online for you to look at.

Hope sales start to pick up for the when the driving schools re open and take thier test

Good luck with getting a new place, I have been hunting for the last 2 years and barely find anything near me LOL

i'd say repair with goodwill. it was was a bodged repair in the first place

No car sales on site and she doesn't even want car repairs on site didn't bode well for the future. I hope you find a larger unit that suits you, preferably somewhere with a bit of cover to keep sales cars clean.

Hope you can find somewhere local, with the facilities you need. Shame the landlady feels that way, at least you know that you have people back at the current site. You can always go to, for Mots, parts an help etc..

If the Landlord knowingly accepts rent despite your infringement of the user clause then it could be seen as effective acceptance. Similarly, if you can show the premises are not used for the visiting public then one assumes you remain compliant with planning as well as the user clause. This could just be managing agents doing their duty? Maybe no further action?

Worst comes to the worst sell from the Home mate for 2/3 months make sure the new place ticks a few of your boxes. But really think you have made a lot of connections where you are just now so they will always last but fingers crossed you find somewhere soon mate. Really wish you good luck! Tbf mate would do it for goodwill different if it was cost of a part or that but repeat customers/possible passing a good review worth its weight in gold. G101 is good and covers loads of cleaning wise with the car but I use Finish a product from AutoSmart for the Interiors or AeroSpace 303. Tyres I use Autosmarts Highstyle Dressing would highly recommend. Seat wise again buy just a 5l drum of solution from eBay with a nice scent and I use a Bissel Spot Clean Pro another little magic tool!

Why does the LL not want car sales? Have there been complaints?

Nice update, thanks for sharing!

Hope it sells quickly for you
