Bunch of clueless cowboys

The place looks impressive the cars look nice. But under the bonnet most have major faults. We bought ours from there but on the way home the car filled with toxic fumes. As it was sunday afternoon we couldnt get hold of anyone on the phone. So we rang first thing monday morning..6 times in all but no one got back to us. The EML was on and spanner symbol. Cruise control wouldnt work..radio wouldnt work..mirrors wouldnt retract..various other faults apoeared..we were given a date for inspection 6 weeks ahead! Out of their so called warrenty! We insisted and asked to reject the car after only 2 days. We had an independent inspection which confirmed the car was faulty but still had to wait for them to inspect it. Because of the fumes they brought forward their inspectiion and return car 8 days later. We told them to keep the car and refund us. We asked for our old car back but that had already gone.we had to make the 60 mile home with no transport. No money for another car..nothing! We eventually got a refund nearly a month later. We had paid outright for the car on the day of purchase..but they with held our money for a month only that we threatened them with court action they gave us it back and only £75 for our old car which wss worth a lot more. We just wanted out so we accepted refund...never to return to the place.shocking service.and the worst thing is they couldnt give a toss..the 99 point check is not worth the paper its written on..and we discovered it had not been servuced for 5 years

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Sales side was fine and all seemed to go smoothly on the day, a few pressure sales tactics (would not allow us to pay a deposit to hold the car we chose and collect it 2 days later after sorting insurance & tax etc, said it was now or risk losing it) but aftersales was awful. Can't make direct contact with aftersales, has to go through concierge service. Wait ages for a call back then several weeks wait for an appointment. No courtesy car available for 3 weeks while mine was off road, only when I asked to reject vehicle for a refund I was given a courtesy car but then waited a further 6 weeks for mine to have an engine replacement. Had my car back for 4 weeks before it failed again, this time both gear box and clutch need replacing. Again requested to reject the car for a refund and still not sorted. Trade Centre have had my car back there broken down for longer than I have had it working since purchase early in March. Now realising just how many others are in the same boat as me trying to reject vehicles not fit for purpose and left without a working car or refund, appalling service from aftersales.

Decent but can be very slow

Would definitely recommend using The Trade Centre. The whole team was very helpful, but a special thanks to Sam and Ethan for being amazing and making the process so much easier.

Other than Ethan, who came across as very rude. He wasn't very helpful, and didn't even apologise for the delay in receiving the vehicle.

Billy (Sales) was very helpful and attentive. No pushy sales. This is the 3rd car I've had from Trade Centre. Oshan (new to the company) processed my paperwork. Both Billy and Oshan were very friendly and pleasant. The Manager was also lovely, as was Jake. All in all, I am delighted to have been able to part exchange my vehicle and sort out the paperwork with no glitches during the intense heatwave! Thank you Trade Centre!!! xx

Now, all we need is for England to win tonight.
COME ON ENGLAND! You really CAN do this xxx

ROTHERHAM BRANCH - Flash Sale

We went to their 'flash sale' yesterday. We'd visited during the week to view the car we wanted. The salesman told us we needed to know exactly where it was, because we would need to be able to get to it immediately, due to the expected massive crowds, and to get there very early.
We arrived at 5am, having left home at 3;45 to get there, and we were 2nd in the queue. In the next 4 hours, another 9 people arrived but the atmosphere was great, and everyone agreed which car they were going for, with the exception of one guy, who arrived 3 hours after us. He said he wanted the same car as us but we were confident because we knew exactly where our car was and were ahead of him in the queue. My husband had been into the showroom at 7:30 am to use the toilet and 'our' car was still in place, so when the doors were opened at 9am, he ran straight to where the car should have been, it wasn't there!
By the time we found it, the other guy was standing smugly beside it. We approached the desk to ask what on earth had happened to be told 'oh, we had to move some around this morning " I said "what, in the last hour!". It seemed that only our car had been moved and given that our 'competitor' seemed to have gone straight to it, I can't help but think that there was some underhand dealing taking place.
Having spoken to everyone else, we were the only ones not to have got the car they wanted and we were left feeling stunned, bitterly disappointed and somehow cheated.
I now have absolutely no faith in this company and certainly would not consider buying a car from them.

Do NOT buy from this place.

Do NOT buy from this place.

Sold a faulty car that had a faulty airbag, faulty clutch and faulty cooling system that left me broken down on a dual carriage way within 48 hours of driving away. No call back on the day and left me driving around with it before deciding it wasn’t safe to drive 48 hours later. Took them 3 attempts to fix the clutch.

Be careful of the sales team - they lie on documentation and to your face. Offer no courtesy cars after 5pm and instead told me a random salesman would take me home!! With a courtesy car they couldn’t tell me if it was petrol or diesel. Very, very unprofessional place who care more about sales than people’s safety!! Met SO many people in Aftersales who wanted to reject cars because of so many faults!! AVOID.

Worst car company ever

If I could give 0 starts I would absolute abomination of a company and honestly wouldn’t recommended this to my worse enemy never mind anyone else sold me a car which has engine replaced within just a few months of owning the vehicle and now I want to reject the car constant refusal of fixing the car or providing courtesy car as the fault make this a danger to drive and when mentioned that my son needs to be in the car they didn’t care less don’t buy a car from this company unless you want headaches, bad customer service and pure lies from them

My name is Leon I bought a Peugeot 208 yl67 klz

Do not use this company!

Do not use this company!

They sold us a car that was of unsatisfactory quality. The car ran out of petrol on the way to the petrol station and then went into limp mode. They recovered the car in their own time and left a 73 year old lady without a car for 8 weeks, no courtesy car was offered as they advised they didn’t do courtesy cars. Emails to the complaints centre go unanswered, they refuse your right to reject the vehicle, picking and choosing which bits of the consumer rights act 2015 they adhere to. Despite repeated asks for timescales, full breakdown of works nothing was forthcoming, and kept refusing the right to reject. Even after knowing they were leaving a 73 year old lady who struggles to walk and breath and a carer for a disabled adult without without any form of transport, effectively making her housebound, they still didn’t repair the car for over 94 days.
Shocking treatment!
They also refuse to negotiate or enter into negotiation as they are not part of any ADR schemes and refuse to provide a name of a mediation company (as per the law) stating that they handle complaints in house, but then refuse to escalate internally to someone more senior
