Hi Sha

Really pleased to hear you had a superb experience with Mr Zain. It’s brilliant the swap of cars was easy and the processing was so quick — we’re glad he was helpful throughout.

Thanks for leaving the kind words. If you need anything else, Zain or the Bury team will be happy to sort it for you.

Many Thanks, The Car Co team

⚠️ Avoid This Dealership ,The Car Co.

⚠️ Avoid This Dealership – Extremely Disappointing Experience ⚠️

I visited this dealership with my friend; he bought a Toyota Prius, and I purchased a 2023 Lexus ES300h.

On the day of the test drive, the vehicle was covered in heavy dust and dirt, making it difficult to properly inspect the paintwork and body condition. Trusting the dealership, I proceeded with the purchase.

However, on the day of delivery, once the vehicle had been cleaned, multiple issues became visible, including deep scratches, scuffs, paint defects, and a misaligned passenger door. When I raised these concerns immediately, I was assured by staff that the issues would be logged, photographed, and resolved in a way that would leave me satisfied.

Unfortunately, this was followed by weeks of stressful phone calls and delays. Eventually, I was instructed to obtain an official repair quotation from a body shop. I did so and received a written quotation/invoice totaling £700 for front bumper paintwork, driver-side wing repair, and passenger door realignment.

When I later presented this quotation, I was shocked by the response from management. Instead of trying to resolve the matter professionally, I experienced what I considered rude and dismissive behavior, and I was told they would not contribute toward the repairs.

The entire experience caused significant stress and disappointment, especially considering the amount of money spent on the vehicle. I am sharing my experience publicly so that future customers can make informed decisions before purchasing from this dealership.

فارسی:

از این نمایشگاه خودرو دوری کنید – تجربه‌ای بسیار ناامیدکننده

من به همراه دوستم به این مجموعه مراجعه کردم؛ او یک تویوتا پریوس خرید و من یک لکسوس ES300h مدل ۲۰۲۳.

روزی که برای تست و بازدید خودرو رفتیم، ماشین کاملاً پوشیده از گرد و خاک بود و امکان بررسی دقیق وضعیت رنگ و بدنه وجود نداشت. ما به این مجموعه اعتماد کردیم و خرید را انجام دادیم.

اما روز تحویل، بعد از شسته شدن خودرو، ایرادات زیادی مشخص شد؛ از جمله خط و خش‌های عمیق، ایرادات رنگ، و رگلاژ نبودن درب سمت شاگرد. وقتی همان لحظه اعتراض کردم، کارکنان مجموعه گفتند که همه موارد ثبت و عکس‌برداری می‌شود و مشکل به شکلی حل خواهد شد که رضایت کامل داشته باشم.

متأسفانه بعد از آن، هفته‌ها تماس تلفنی، پیگیری و استرس شروع شد. در نهایت از من خواسته شد خودرو را به صافکاری و نقاشی ببرم و برآورد رسمی هزینه تهیه کنم. من نیز این کار را انجام دادم و فاکتور رسمی ۷۰۰ پوندی برای رنگ سپر جلو، تعمیر گلگیر سمت راننده و تنظیم درب سمت شاگرد دریافت کردم.

اما زمانی که این برآورد را ارائه دادم، برخورد مدیریت بسیار ناامیدکننده بود. به جای تلاش برای حل حرفه‌ای مشکل، رفتار بسیار بی‌احترام و غیرمسئولانه‌ای دیدم و به من گفته شد که هیچ مبلغی بابت تعمیرات پرداخت نخواهند کرد.

تمام این تجربه برای من استرس و ناراحتی زیادی ایجاد کرد، مخصوصاً با توجه به مبلغ بالای خرید خودرو. این تجربه را به اشتراک می‌گذارم تا مشتریان آینده بتوانند با آگاهی بیشتری تصمیم بگیرند.

لە ئەم کۆمپانیایە دوور بکەونەوە – ئەزموونێکی زۆر ناڕەحەت و ناامێدەکەر

من لەگەڵ هاوڕێکەم سەردانی ئەم فرۆشگای ئۆتۆمبێلمان کرد؛ ئەو تۆیۆتا پریۆسی کڕی و منیش لێکسوس ES3
0ینی ئۆتۆمبێلەکە، ئۆتۆمبێلەکە تەواو پڕ لە تۆز و خۆڵ بوو و نەتوانرا بە باشی دۆخی بۆیە و جەستەکە بپشکنرێت. بە متمانە بە کۆمپانیاکە، بڕیارمان دا کڕینەکە تەواو بکەین.

بەڵام لە ڕۆژی وەرگرتنی ئۆتۆمبێلەکە، دوای شۆردنی، ژمارەیەک کێشەی دیارکەوت؛ وەک خشت و ڕوشانی قووڵ، کێشەی بۆیە، و ناتەواوی لە ڕێکخستنی دەرگای لای سەرنشین. کاتێک دەستم کرد بە ناڕەزایەتی، کارمەندانی کۆمپانیا دڵنیاییان دامێ کە هەموو کێشەکان تۆمار دەکرێن و بە شێوەیەک چارەسەر دەکرێن کە ڕازیم بکات.

بەداخەوە، دوای ئەوە هەفتانە پەیوەندی تەلەفۆنی، دواداکەوتن و سترێس دەستی پێکرد. لە کۆتاییدا داوایان لێکردم ئۆتۆمبێلەکە بۆ چاککردنەوە بەرەم و خەمڵاندنی فەرمی تێچوو وەربگرم. منیش ئەو کارەم کرد و فاکتۆرێکی فەرمیم بە بڕی ٧٠٠ پاوەند وەرگرت بۆ بۆیەکردنی سپری پێشەوە، چاککردنی چەملەخی لای شۆفێر و ڕێکخستنەوەی دەرگای لای سەرنشین.

بەڵام کاتێک ئەم خەمڵاندنەی تێچووم پێشکەش کرد، هەڵسوکەوتی بەڕێوەبەرایەتی زۆر ناامێدەکەر بوو. لە جیاتی ئەوەی بە شێوەیەکی پڕۆفیشناڵ کێشەکە چارەسەر بکەن، هەڵسوکەوتێکی بێڕێزانە و بێبەرپرسیارانەم بینی و پێم وترا کە هیچ بەشێک لە تێچووی چاککردنەوەکە نادەن.

ئەم ئەزموونە بۆ من سترێس و ناڕەحەتییەکی زۆری دروست کرد، بە تایبەتی لەبەر ئەو پارە زۆرەی کە بۆ ئۆتۆمبێلەکە درا. ئەم ئەزموونەم بڵاو دەکەمەوە بۆ ئەوەی کڕیارانی داهاتوو بە ئاگاداری زیاتر یار بده‌ن.

Buying cars can be an overwhelming experience however we knew we were in safe hands as soon as we met Abdul. Abdul answered all our questions and gave us sound advice on the cars we were interested in. He was brilliant and so patient with our boys too which made everything easier whilst making important decisions. We would highly recommend Abdul and the team at TheCarCo. We will be back when we're ready for a new car and some more sweets. Team John Deere x

Outstanding service from sales team

Came in the dealership today and was greeted by one of the sales team, Kas.

He greeted me straight away and treated me with respect from the start. He was very patient when answering all of my questions and took the time to make sure I understood everything. His knowledge of the dealership’s stock was excellent, which made the whole experience much easier. I would definitely recommend speaking to him if you’re looking for a car.
