You get horror stories about every place mate, CRD does have more than it's fair share however
My mate had his corsa in there to get an X14 put in, 6 weeks  later he got it back broken
You were talking about imports though, I wouldnt go through them mate, they lost there best mechanic recently to Torque performance, and just becasue they slap a CRD sticker on it doesnt make it worth £££££££££.
I know Mckay trading in edinburgh are quite good, my mate just got a Tommy Mack Evo 6 from them and is very happy with the service.
Speak to AK on here, he's the import guru

Everywhere you are going to get good and bad opinions. Some folk will have had a good experince some people not. Just gotta go and see for yourself really

i've heard the stories.... but i've only even been happy with the, 
Good work on the PGT and skyline.
McKays do have a 'cleaner' stock, most likely higher auction grades. BUT you do pay a premium 
I've bought two cars through Kye at Mckays now..... any problems with the car, it is sorted.

iv just bought my scooby from calders and was a few small things i wanted done.there was a crack in the windscreen and there was a racing seat in the drivers side. they did everything i asked of them with out any hassle. the body work,engine,exterior,interior were all minted.
everyone has there own storys about there cars. ppls cars that they bought from alder and had them 6 months and they blew up.to me thats there fault for ragging the ass out them.
id recommend calders to any1 but thats just me tho.
