A site to share about Richard Burbage and Stan Rudgley, two dodgy dealers in Hampshire who have been ripping people off by selling non road worthy vehicles. Some company they have been known to use are:
Swiftbird Ltd t/a The Van Centre Southampton, Delta Flag Ltd t/a Pro Motors, Stratton Cars, Oakmount Cars, Valley Cars, South Coast Enterprises, Service 4 Life Ltd, The Elite Car Company, Fort Wallington Car Sales, Woolston Car Supermarket Ltd, Hampshire Vehicle Sales
Where has Fort Wallington Car Sales gone. Or should I say where has Service 4 Life Ltd re-opened as? The Southern Daily Echo story from 17/2/14 is below. Would be interested in knowing if Stan and indeed Richard Burbage have set up together again in and around Bitterne or Botley areas?

MYSTERY surrounds the whereabouts of Hampshire secondhand car dealers at the centre of scores of complaints over defective cars and bouncing refund cheques.
Keeping an eye on Stan Rudgley, Richard Burbage and the companies they are or aren't involved in has pulled up another change. Service 4 Life Ltd which trades as Fort Wallington Car Sales appears to have changed its registered address on 31 Jan 14. I'm sure you wouldn't be too surprised to find out that it has moved to83 DUCIE STREET, MANCHESTER M1 2JQ, which funnily enough is the same address where Woolston Car Supermarket Ltd changed its address to recently. Now this could be being used as a postal address. But it could also be the next stage in the plan to rip more people off. In my opinion I believe the later as Stan Rudgley is seeking legal advice over the Woolston Car Supermarket Ltd scam and Richard Burbage denying all knowledge it even though he has been caught on camera and seen agreeing car sales. I and I'm sure other would be interested to know why Manchester? and when is the planned move happening Stan and Richard? http://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/service-4-life
...........shame he couldn't do that when he was caught on camera
Thank you Southern Daily Echo..............
So Stan not honouring what he promised. Who would've guessed it. May be the heat from trading standards and the media getting too much plus not being able to advertise the same dodgy cars that were at Woolston Car Supermarket on Autotrader won't help.
The inception of his business in November last year. Really? For one Woolston Car Supermarket Ltd was registered in Sep 13. Prior to that Woolston Car Supermarket and Hampshire Vehicle Sales were trading under South Coast Enterprises (UK) Ltd, registered in Jul 13 again with Mr Stan Rudgley (oh and Ryan Overton) at the helm. So Stan, you as a Director was not in charge of your own business? Even Service 4 Life Ltd now trading as Fort Wallington Car Sales was registered in Sep 13. How funny that both Woolston Car Supermarket Lt and Service 4 Life Ltd were registered within a day of each other. Some might say it was planned to scam a lot of people the move on. Why the change of address to Manchester though with Woolston Car Supermarket?
THE CHAIRMAN OF Bristol City FC was a special guest during the official opening of a new customer care centre at a car supermarket in the south west.
Steve Lansdown was shown the £800,000 facility at the Bristol Trade Centre shortly after the business announced that it would sponsor the club's shirts next season. The customer care centre is the first significant expansion by the supermarket since it was acquired by top ten dealer group Lookers at the start of the year. Bristol Trade Centre managing director Richard Burbage said: “This new centre is a step forward and demonstrates our commitment for further investment.” The supermarket sells 4,000 cars a year, specialising in the three-year-old market.

With Trading Standards on the case Stan Rudgley is in it up to his neck. It looks as though Richard Burbage may be slipping away again. Well done Richard.
I know he has totally distanced himself from Hampshire Vehicle Sales, Woolston Car Supermarket and Firt Wallington Car Sales even though many of witnessed him in there doing business and promising things to customers.
I do hope all the bank accounts are checked out as the money will have had to have gone somewhere and probably in Richard and Lorraine's back pockets.
So come on Richard you've spoken out about Woolston Car Saupermarket and Australia now let everyone know about the new number plate scam and screwing over a car dealership in Bristol?
Another good story from the Southern Daily Echo. Keep it in the press to stop others being turned over.
Trading Standards officers investigate car dealer complaints
Another day another story from the Southern Daily Echo......
This time it sees Richard Burbage denying involvement with Hampshire Vehicle Sales, Woolston Car Supermarket or Fort Wallington Car Sales. Maybe with Fort Wallington Car Sales if you believe the big fall out occured but the other two, REALLY, pull the other one.
I am still interested why Woolston Car Supermarket Ltd has is new registered address in Manchester...What is the link.....
With a supposed fall out between Richard Burbage and Stan Rudgley and Stan being left to face the music to angry customers, media, trading standards and potential the police will he ever be able to run a legitimate car sales company again?
If Stan and Richard have fallen out Stan needs to do the right thing and lead the investigation to the real crook of the operation. If he is to have a chance of making Fort Wallington Car Sales a success this has to happen.
However some cynics will says that the fact that Woolston Car Supermarket changed to an address in Manchester on 10 Jan 14 (published on here first) that it is a matter of time before both Burbage and Rudgley move the operation north.
Burbage is nowhere to be seen but is believed to be hauled up in Marbella, Chorley, Bristol or Botley (all past addresses) so believe what you will. However with cars on the drive and closed curtains I have my suspicions.
We are pleased to see Autotrader finally listened to all the scam complaints we put in.
More from the Southern Daily Echo............Keep it up guys.
Please feel free to comment if there is anything that think is not quite correct as there are a few areas that are quite vague. Note there is no sign of the Richard Burbage as a Director in recent companies but we know he was involved somewhere along the line in some capacity.
More customers come forward with complaints against Woolston Car Supermarket
FURIOUS customers have inundated the Daily Echo with complaints about a Hampshire car dealership that closed suddenly.
Another 20 people have contacted this newspaper since we published the results of our investigation into Woolston Car Supermarket in Southampton on Saturday.
They have complained of being sold defective vehicles that broke down and cost them hundreds of pounds to repair.
Many reported major faults with their vehicles – from a Peugeot 307 with a bonnet that would fly up if it went above 30mph, to a Toyota Celica that was not driveable due to an engine problem.
Bounced cheques When some complainants were eventually given refund cheques, they were horrified to find that they bounced.
With effect from 10th Jan 14 Woolston Car Supermarket has a new registered address in Manchester. Stan Rudgley is still the Director and with Richard Burbage nowhere to be seen at Fort Wallington Car Sales could he be setting up the next scam?
Fort Wallington Car Sales is now a legitimate business......... Stan Rudgley and Richard Burbage no longer on speaking terms....... Surely he still owes you money from Woolston Car Supermarket Stan?
USING a mobile phone while driving has cost a Hampshire man his licence.
Richard Burbage, 40, of Moorhill Road, West End, was caught on April 15 driving his 52-reg Jaguar X-Type in Marine Parade, Southampton, magistrates in Basingstoke heard.
The case was proved in his absence and Burbage was disqualified for six months because of repeat offending.
He was also fined £200 and told to pay costs of £85.

It's the car deal which is almost too good to be true.
Now that Woolston Car Supermarket have disappeared in to the ether up has popped a company by the name of Fort Wallington Car Sales. Service 4 Life Ltd is a company run by Stanley Rudgley probably with a not so silent partner called Richard Burbage. Having taken a look around at Fort Wallington Car Sales there appears on the face of it to be nothing there. However after looking through the gates and speaking to a very helpful individual (thank you kind sir) I found that a large number of vehicles had been moved there over the last week or so which ties in to when Woolston Car Supermarket were moving cars.
Well you two little crooks, I hope you're reading this because we know that Service 4 Life Ltd trades as, yes you guessed it, Fort Wallington Car Sales and that you have recently placed a large number of adverts on Autotrader so keep moving because I will keep sharing the information I found out and my followers will only grow and we will share where you are and what you are trading as and identify others you involve in your scams.
I bought a car from Woolston Car Supermarket which is under the Directorship of a Stan Rudgley. Long story short the car has had issues ever since I bought it. After some digging on Google searches and finding out other names associated with Woolston Car Supermarket a few names keep appearing. One is a young man called Ryan Overton with whom I have a degree of sympathy for. Another is Stan Rudgley who is the current Director of Woolston Car Supermarket. Finally the last name is a man called Richard Burbage.
Now Richard Burbage is the interesting character amongst the mentioned individuals. It appears
