My experience was smooth from walking through the door to walking out, from Chris and phill the sales men to Olaf & Jake, Olaf explained everything thoroughly so I understood & Jake went the extra mile even helping me sort out my tax and insurance before I left. Highly reccomend.

I do not recommend this dealership.

I do not recommend this dealership.

The cars may be cheaper than elsewhere, but the customer service is very poor. I explained that I don't have a driving licence and only have my passport. I was told I could email a copy of my passport and that would be fine.

I spent over an hour filling in all the paperwork, only to be told by a member of staff that they needed to see the physical passport. She spoke to the manager, who confirmed that I had to bring the original document.

I explained that travelling back and forth would cost me more money because I don't drive, but I was simply told that wasn't their problem.

This could have been explained before I made the journey and wasted my time. Very disappointing experience.

Ignored after sending receipts. Appalling service appaling after service.

This is my third update regarding my purchase (Reg: LA71 UTZ). After raising serious safety issues via an independent health check, including severe steering vibration caused by their "Premium Pack" tyre gel, aftersales advisor. Actually claimed the shaking was an acceptable "product feature." Shaking to the point of being unsafe is a major safety hazard, not a feature.

Because I use my car daily, didnt want a car pulling right,unsatisfactory tyres, 3 differnet brands out of 4 and one as 2.7mm and 3mm,and the phantom appointment to sort the problems out was 4 weeks I was forced to pay for 4 new tyres and an alignment myself to make the vehicle safe. They requested that I email over the invoices so management could review the case. I did exactly that, offering a very reasonable compromise to collect the missing parts (wipers and parcel shelf) and settle the remaining faults (non-working lights, substandard alloys) via a goodwill gesture payment less than the amount needed.

They have had nearly 4 weeks to prepare for this. If thr appointment was even genuine, they should have had the parcel shelf and wipers sitting there waiting as an absolute minimum. Instead, since providing the receipts, the communication has gone completely dead. They are happy to take your money, but as soon as you present them with invoices to rectify their own safety failures, or have any complaints they ignore you. You'd think they would reply with you can collect the parcel shelf and wipers or post them out. As they should.have already ordered them unless of course they was lying. Shame really because this compromise is a good deal

They think comsumer rights act doesnt apply to them despite the claims on theyre website.

Disgraceful customer service. Avoid. If they was a national football team they'd be argentina

A truly terrible place to buy a vehicle…

A truly terrible place to buy a vehicle from faults a week after purchase. Ongoing engine management light issues. Vehicle returned after they have had the car for weeks at a time. No fault fault safe to drive. No diagnostic reports given to see if they actually did anything. My presumption is they turned the key and the engine management light was no longer on. Less than 3,000 miles done in a £15,000 car (yes I know it’s second hand) and the turbo fails and takes the engine with it.

Then it’s the “bulletproof” warranty you claim on. Nope drive on damage we won’t repair. £13,500 engine replacement on a car I’ve had less than 8 month. Over 2 years fighting this with the motor ombudsman who have ruled in my favour TWICE and they won’t accept the ruling.

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!
