I suspect the cost of changing the steering wheel / the time it would take would add to that quite a lot! Would a video showing the swap help recoup the cost of the time spent?
It isn't a case of 'washing them and sticking them out the door' with you James because you do it right and are incredibly customer focused...........but in my 37 years of buying cars I haven't experienced a dealer like you!!! Most sadly aren't like you. I wouldn't hesitate to trust buying from you and look forward to when that time arises👍
Another great video, I get what people are saying about employing a mechanic however that comes with costs employing sonebody, staying as you are is best option.
James check the Hyundai mot history, in June 2014 it had done 13,349 miles, July 2015 it had done 18,099 miles then in June 2016 1578 miles then following year 5,891 miles etc, it's showing approx 16,000 miles less than it should be, it's closer to 70,000 miles 😮 You wont get any service history for this car. You've been had 😢
@@budgetguitarherogeartv4143 I have a 2010 i30, same model, with close to 100,000 and the steering wheel doesn't look anything like that thankfully. No idea how it could get that bad with 70,000.
Employed mechanics - off 2 months on furlough - came back wanted 2 weeks from their annual leave in the remaining summer months - then one went on sick leave for a month. OK did not pay furlough payments BUT still had fixed costs. Best young mechanics we had and trained as apprentices after 5-6 years moved onto main dealers. Could not pay them the 30k + they wanted. Gave up and called it a day. Think very - very carefully before you employ people.
To make cheap cars work, you've got to be hands on yourself, do everything in house, be very, very firm with comebacks, be really good and astute in buying, keep all costs low, you simply can't have an open chq book policy, all your doing is keeping everyone else in funds. For example I bought a Peugeot 207 estate at auction last night, I checked everything I could, St away driving off its go a rattling cv joint, I'll do it tomorrow, 40 quid for one, service it, vallet it and it's up for sale, bought with a long mot, I'll keep all costs down, 30 days engine, box warranty, I'll do the whole car and the profit is mine. That's how it's got to be on cheap cars.
The owner of moors must love you james😂,you compare yourself to Lee at the car pitch but he has a full time mechanic so easier and probably cheaper in the long run to have one,the hyundai is definitely more like 65/70k as it has a mileage discrepancy on vehicle score,I would definitely change the whole steering wheel rather than a cover personally🙂
Informative video! 👍🏻 So do you think there are any adjustments you can make to limit the amount of time and cash you are spending post-sales or is it just luck of the draw?
I know you don't want to expand massively but having a full time mechanic on hand would surely make sense with how much your spending down Moores. Like Joe always says that area you've got is perfect James, so much you could do! - Has the forecourt been laid with stones yet? Looking forward to seeing it at some point, think it'll look amazing 👌
With all the tech on modern cars isn't a good thing nothing is made to easily repaired a cambelt change would be say a couple of hundred now it's a lot more parts prices seem to have risen a lot too
To all those guys who are saying " employ your own mechanic because it will be cheaper" I have noticed on the invoices that although the overall bill looks high, ie £378, the labour is only £120, the rest is materials and vat, so he will only save £120 by having his own mechanic I am sure that James, who obviously knows his way around a spreadsheet, will have done a yearly analysis on what he spends on labour throughout the year against what the cost of employing a full time mechanic would be. My uneducated guess is that a mechanic would cost him at least £34000 per year, unless wages for mechanics in darkest Devon are seriously lower that UK average. Chops is clearly financially astute and a super honest car dealer, and does not need your advice !!
With regards to the kia, they do suffer with oil burning issues having done a few. Genuine block and pistons used to be £900 plus vat as they know theres issues. Also worth noting that I'm not saying it wasn't done properly before but its best not just to replace valves just by lapping them in thr old fashioned way, its a specialist job at a machine shop that would cut the worn seats to the correct angle and then lap them in, thus giving them a chance of lasting as good as new.
As someone who has taken to buying cheap old cars for daily use as a means of long-term cost saving and whilst not minding spending a bit on troubleshooting/fixing, doing it on a daily basis as a means of making a profit must be pretty damn stressful. I don't do my self any favours by generally opting for fast Audis but imagine that on an exponential scale like the one dealers have to work with. My head would explode.
Lees the main man, does the job right, ramp, tools, mechanic, knows the faults, gets em sorted, very, very knowledgeable and tbh that's what the job is now, selling is the easy part, it's getting the faults sorted. Lee even puts new steering wheels on when required (!)
The MOT history on your i30 shows 18099 miles on July 2015 and 1578 miles in June 2016 ... I guess it had its speedo changed ... It also shows 42049 miles in March, it's done a lot of miles in the last 7 months! Other than the steering wheel it looks in good condition for a 70k miles car ... hope this additional mileage doesn't remove any profit you can make. Would a steering wheel cover be glued on to stop it moving? My daughter test drove a Prius with a steering wheel cover and found she didn't feel 'in control' as it moved a bit!
(and being unkind, I reported the advert for that Prius to autotrader as the mileage it was advertised at was lower than the previous mot ~6 months before and ~30k less than the ~330k on the odo!) Given my experience of car dealers, James is absolutely the best and most honest dealer I've come across (genuinely mean this, though it is quite a low bar I'm afraid ... he does smash it though!)
The Hyundai has done about 70k miles as between its 2015 and 2016 MOTs the mileage went from 18099 down to 1578 so I think it had a new instrument cluster fitted.
I had one of these Hyundai i30 for 6 years.Brilliant car very cheap to maintain. Had to give it away as the heater stopped working and mechanic told me it was not an easy fix. Also the locks were playing up.
Schadenfreude used car dealer videos have always been popular on the tube however some of those Moor's bills are remarkably low compared to some places I can think of...
I have to say. My Fiat Panda is great. I have spent extra grand on new battery service tyres shocker new door handles temperature sensor. Still its reliable. You have to up keep the car. Ebay parts are good any my mechanic sorts. Shop prices are too high.
When you show paperwork in future, i would do your best to blur out or not show account numbers and sort codes, far too many dodgy people out there. I know this the hard way after some paperwork i threw in the bin ended up losing me £1900, which took me a long time to get back.... I'd had someone use my bank details to set up direct debits and other dodgy stuff on my account, which did not make my day a good one.
To try to keep your costs down, perhaps you and a couple of other local traders whom operate in a similar way, could actually employ a mechanic between you, maybe a mobile one, who would solely work for you and the other included traders. That way, the mechanic gets a wage, and you're not paying so much to Moors Garage with all their overheads. Worth a thought ?
That black hyundai is never 52k mate, check milage history, be lucky to get history as it probably won't stack up. On those costs mate it's just amazing, only one justified is probably cam belt with going half. On that seized slider, should never have gone to halfords and alarmed them, you could have got it in yourself and freed off the slider, zero cost. On that kia after 11 mths, we'll, no comment, saying buying it back now is crazy, barchetta OK, but if ticket sales aren't high enough it'll be a loss.
If you got a mechanic in bud a valleter /paint prep guy, you'd make a fortune bud, you sell your cars quickly and for really good money. You'd be selling more cars and loads less hassle, clues in your title mate chops garage.

Moors seem very expensive, even down to the cost of the MOTs. Moors appear to charge £50 whereas the place I take my cars is £35, over 40% more. Maybe that is why they are called Moors
@@kaptinkeiff I think that it is a "supply and demand" thing, if you are in an area with lots of MOT stations, then to get any business they have to lower the charge, just to pay for the cost of the MOT specific equipment.

@@kaptinkeifftest centres buy mot slots from the dvsa for a quid or so... They make money on what they charge, which is up £54 or something around that.

Your mate needs to out that car before those valves burn out again, should have swopped that injector out, check live data to see if mixture is right, was the last valve correctly cut in last time tho? If it wasn't perfect it would burn out quickly. Maybe try another compression test in a mth to see if its dropped, you needed to make a note of them as they are now.
Well I have thought for some time that your garage bills are top weight,in the spirit of spreading the joy around use a couple more MOT garages in your area
James it's alarming to see , you basically are like a gambler but worse because after the race ,the winner is confirmed and the money is won or lost ,but in your case when you lose after the race ,you may continue to lose ,lets hope the numbers game works but the numbers game requires a mass turnover
@@ChopsGarageI live in Devon, from my experience you get a good deal from Moors as you probably well know, ignore people telling you to get your own mechanic.
How halfords garages are still trading is beyond me, they are worse than kwik fit for ripping people off with false diagnosis, what’s more shocking is some people actually trust them
I hope that hyundai was cheap bud, it's hardly a 50k fsh minter, unfortunately it's an incorrect mileage, non history bit of a rough thing, oh James service history is to follow, well maybe...
You really need everything in house mate, you working on the cars and a mechanic, paying all these bills is going to get you, your calling yourself chops garage, not chops I'm spending 1000s elsewhere, say 400 quid a week on a mechanic would be awesome, ramp, tools, take some work in, if you could get a good all rounder, valleting, paint prep, you mentioned Lee at car UK, I've met him at Prees heath Aston barclay, follow exactly what he does, virtually every thing is in house, no flies on Lee mate.
Say your guys are charging 50 quid an hour, yes that's cheap, but your own guy on say 15 quid is a massive saving, he'll probably bring his own tools, loads of time saved for you, you've just got to work smarter, toughen up on these claims, most aren't fair on you at all, tbh for example a slight knock and it's discs and pads all round, I bet they were OK, in house you could look yourself, your just been bullied into things, I'm very fair, but I'd not stand for 90% that you do, imho it's all getting out of hand.
In theory no one should be able to extract money from someone's bank account by just knowing the details, after all every invoice issued in the country will have "how to pay" bank details on it, but that said I would not publish my bank details !!
Don't forget there's that rattling chain, kia I think to add to your bumper warranty bill, so you'll be knocking up 3k, add on the clutch the other day, that auto box and a few others, cat on that Peugeot, I bet your knocking on 8 grand over a mths period on warranties, add on the worthless WW you pay for and they don't it's a helava lot of money bud.
The profit you quoted is not net profit , premises hire , leccy bill , petrol etc, all tax detucble I suppose if you make enough then there are all the old interesting cars which are depreciating at the moment , I reckon you are another Joe , just a hobby mate lol.
Sorry mate but sympathy is waving thin when you carry on giving that moors garage thousands a month when you could have a full time mechanic saving you a fortune. You've just paid them a full month's wages on one repair. You've gotta look at your own set up too mate.

In theory no one should be able to extract money from someone's bank account by just knowing the details, after all every invoice issued in the country will have "how to pay" bank details on it, but that said I would not publish my bank details !!
Don't forget there's that rattling chain, kia I think to add to your bumper warranty bill, so you'll be knocking up 3k, add on the clutch the other day, that auto box and a few others, cat on that Peugeot, I bet your knocking on 8 grand over a mths period on warranties, add on the worthless WW you pay for and they don't it's a helava lot of money bud.
😢😢
Don't know about displaying bank account details for Moors lots of Scammers out there just saying... Recently a victim so now more cautious

The Hyundai is a wrongun you really should have checked it out better and I don’t think you’re like car uk at all,he makes money.
I’m never buying another car again after watching your channel yikes
The profit you quoted is not net profit , premises hire , leccy bill , petrol etc, all tax detucble I suppose if you make enough then there are all the old interesting cars which are depreciating at the moment , I reckon you are another Joe , just a hobby mate lol.
When I quote profit it's net. See previous video. I make a deduction for those costs
Oh ok , the ground improvement will be good. You certainly work hard !
And why not do simple jobs like discs pads shocks etc yourself rather than moores skin yer cant be flat out all day selling boomerangs 🤣
He does do work himself, but you also have to remember he is a ‘one-man-band’ - it’s just him running all aspects of the business
Sorry mate but sympathy is waving thin when you carry on giving that moors garage thousands a month when you could have a full time mechanic saving you a fortune. You've just paid them a full month's wages on one repair. You've gotta look at your own set up too mate.
Kia's ande Hyunday's are junk!!!!
Totally disagree
@ 😌
@@ChopsGaragethey are big sellers here too - value for money even from new
Their does seem to be a batch of each that suffer similarly. But on the whole. Both great cars
I owned a Kia picanto 1.1 2009 owned it for 4 yrs without issue sold it with 135k I got it with 60k
Realistically, you should now be at least 50% owner of Moors Garage🫨
Lol
