Drive Motor Retail Reviews 

They actually sold me a Jeep for over £17000 that was not fit for purpose.
They Actually broke the Law according to the motor ombudsman by selling me a car that was missing two recalls and causing lots of problems and expenses down the line.
They offered no compensation for their incompetency and very little in the way of an apology even though when it was sold they knew it was going to be used by a disabled driver. Thankfully the problems all occurred at my home address, otherwise things could have been a lot worse.
The Jeep was purchased back in October and the problems arose on 17/12 the week before Christmas. We are now trying to catch up with all the shopping etc. that could not be done for the four days that we were without use of a car.
During this period on 17/12 I had to refuse a doctors appointment at the surgery.
Jeep are now looking after me and trying to sort out all the problems and I can not praise them enough.
I hope that Jeep decide to recover their costs that have all happened because of the incompetence of Drive MG , Weston-super-Mare.

Jose Hidalgo,
Jose has been amazing he has gone above and beyond to help me chose my new car he is polite and kept me updated throughout the whole process I can reccomend Jose with a 5* rating across th board. Thank you you Jose

The entire team made the experience excellent. I dealt primarily with Connor, who was consistently on top of everything. He delivered exactly what he promised and ensured the purchase was completed within my timeframe, which was particularly important given I was five hours away. They also had the car in the exact colour I wanted, which made the process even smoother.

I was told they would get in touch this week to check how I am getting on with the new car, and based on the level of service so far, I have no reason to doubt that they will follow through.

Highly recommended. A beautiful location to visit, with great roads to fully test the car and the added bonus of driving it away if you like it.

Just went to look at purchasing a Hyundai hybrid one year old car at the branch of Drive Hyundai Scarborough Happy with the car, sales chap said balance of a 5 year warranty comes with the car, but what really shocked me was the cost of advice should there be a problem with the car, one simple question was if I have a problem with the car and bring it back for an answer, they want you to sign a disclaimer that you would pay £144 if it’s not a warranty item, I asked how would I know if it is warranty item, there answer was it’s your problem that’s our procedure’s, well I don’t mind paying for some time for an explanation to find out what the problem is but a standard fee of £144 is shocking, practices like this bring the word rip off springs to mind. No way will I buy from this company.

Great service team - after a recall on my Grandland-x went a bit wrong when they needed an additional part, Andy on the service desk couldn't have been more helpful in sorting it out - no fuss and got me back on the road. It not when things go well that shows how good service is, its when they go wrong and they do what they say they'll do when they say they will to just get it fixed.

The people to talk to Lucy was on top of her game in WSM

I have rung Drive Scarborough and left phone messages three times today, and not a single response? even after a promise they would!!

They have our Peugeot Van in for a warranty engine leak, which was supposed to have been sorted out 4 weeks ago, which they finally you got onto last week? advising us it would be ready for us to collect, but we cannot get any response from them. We can however get constant promises of return calls but nothing else?

Hope fully their contact box email will be answered because leaving phone messages is a complete waste if time.
We experienced the same problems last time but thought it was a one off occurence, but it appears this is the normal with their sales/service staff

Poor service throughout, would not recommend

Drive Motor Retail Scarborough

We have just purchased our third Hyundai i10 and on each occasion have worked with Danielle Boocock.

Danielle is very professional whilst doing her absolute best for her clients. She left the organisation for 18 months and we decided that we would not buy our next car from Hyundai Scarborough. She recently rejoined the company and we were thrilled and have just taken delivery of our third i10.

Danielle is an absolute asset. As a female purchaser I would prefer to deal with a fellow female and I felt Danielle had my interest at heart.

A big thank you to Danielle and I hope I will be able to deal with her when I buy my next car.

Andy King. 100% professional and helpful.

The experience was first class aided by the wonderful Layla and Emily.

Took my car to Drive Hartlepool for an Alarm fault, charged me £140 for diagnostics, told me it was the battery. Fitted a new battery but didn’t cure fault.
They then wanted me to pay for parts ad hoc to try to fix it! Found out from Peugeot that they should have raised a Technical ticket. They then wanted me to pay for further diagnostics!
Not what I would expect from a main dealer, steer clear!

Second car purchase having had a very positive experience last time that was 8 years ago.
All calls were followed up in a timely manner with enthusiastic and timely updates on our car purchase this time around too.

Only slight negative is the recent introduction of a centralised call system where you cant call sales team members directly,but call team do follow up in a timely manner

Van was recalled by Vauxhall and needed a service nothing was wrong with the van drove perfectly. They phoned me to say they had done some checks on the van and it requires £3000 worth of work , no warning lights had come on , I said no , now three days later coincidentally the emissions light has come on ?

Bought a Renault Zoe EV. purchased with ease. The most economical ev I have ever driven, at 5 miles per kilowatt, most EVs are about 3.8 miles per kilowatt.

I came to Drive Marshall today with my mum and partner and the staff were very polite and helpful. Jonathan is such an amazing sales advisor and always make sure you get the best from their services.

Stockton -on-tees: The attitude here is shocking. Sold us a vauxhall corsa griffen and in 2 years has been back to them with serious faults. Said we wanted to exchange for another Griffen but they tried selling us more expensive cars. Spoke to us like were scum. Manager never rings back and had the phone put down on us. After sales !! What after sales.DONT BUY FROM HERE. Con men who dont care

Do not get involved with the heavy discounts on Vauxhall corsa.it is basically a con!if you take the £4000 discounted price it does not include the 0% finance,you have to pay 9.9% interest!!!never ever known an interest that high on a brand new car.the charge for credit is £5000+ depending on deposit,tried everything with the sales person but got nowhere.the only way you get the discounted price is by paying entirely in cash.i have gone ahead with purchase but regretting it already.

Booked in for my car to be looked after after paying for this to be repaired elsewhere. YouDrive Darlington booked this in very quickly and after looking at the car we’re able to identify the problem quickly, my car required a full wet belt repair. The technician were brilliant and completed the work very quickly and getting my car sorted quicker than I thought they would, a lot of garages couldn’t get me booked in for at least two weeks but YouDrive got me in within a few days. The customer service from everyone I spoke to was excellent and I was updated throughout the process, the lad on the customer service desk named Jake was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and kept me up to date throughout the whole time. I must say the technician that carried out the repair has done this to a very high standard, I will be booking my car back in for a service and MOT and wouldn’t take my car anywhere else.

Jose Hidalgo,
Very good service, very helpful

I enquired about a car at another branch and was told it would be delivered to my local branch, four weeks later and after many phone calls and emails it never came. No one communicates which each other or lets you know anything, shocking service, complete waste of my time, the first time I have not been able to buy a car off a garage.
