This is a long review from my personal experience. I'm not trashing them because i'm sure in different circumstances they'd be different BUT i didn't really have a great experience with them.
Update: Car requires a while new exhaust due to rot & failed the MOT. To clarify they said it would be fine and you could spot weld over the holes. After trying to contact them a few times after purchasing I've had no luck. Be very cautious when buying here!
TLDR: If you're going to buy here, make sure you check it over & don't take their word for things like cosmetic damage and rust. Could improve on customer service since after speaking to them about the complaints i had it felt like i'd be f'd over. BUT they did offer to take the car back which i credit them to. Unfortunately I had already invested too much into getting the car sorted to let it go for the issues it has. See below for more info.
I'd say some of the reviews I've read about this place are true but too extreme. They're more than happy to help (well, give you some of the information) while making the sale but once the sale has gone through, don't expect any assistance.
(All i requested was help sourcing the part & if they'd be willing to contribute the money they'd spend taking the car back to be told to stiff myself)
Tbh, they're not willing to go the extra mile for customer satisfaction (From my experience)
I'm sure in person they are fine, from my experience from doing things remotely during the lockdown i'd advise to wait till you can go there physically.
Just make sure you check over the car yourself or have the AA inspect it.
There was damage to my car that I wasn't told about (My fault since I got it delivered since i couldn't travel over there. I guess it's just what happens when you try to buy a car during lockdown)
Wouldn't take their word for damage on vehicles since was told it was only minor on the bumper but clearly more. Rotten exhaust which also wasn't told about. Since I took the car they're not willing to help.
To give them credit, they did offer to collect the car but at that point I already spent £500+ on delivery, road tax, insurance etc & selling my other car. There are things here I may have been able to do better but the fact for me is that they missed out details I asked about to make it look better than what it is (cosmetically).
Mechanically, the car seems to be ok, I will update in a week after the service. Service light was on when delivered which was not informed about.
Granted, the car is 10 years old, sure its going to have some damage to it. My main complaint was the fact I asked for the details of damage & rust which they said was minimal damage and no rust. So you're going to be p***ed off when the car arrives in worse condition than what they told you & supplied pictures of. They try to justify saying it's because of the age of the car but I expect when I ask for specific photos they'd not miss any out to make it look better than what it is. THAT is the mistake of your staff and you should take responsibility for that and not blame it on the customer.
I'll give credit to the guy "H" who was helpful when buying the car. Another employee, "T" not so much. Very rude, doesn't listen.
More care should be taken when inspecting the vehicles & accurate information should be given when requested.
I had it checked by independent Company and I have been told that the vehicle was sold to me with this pre-existing water leak.
I have contacted him and asked him to refund the money wherei have been told that I do not know the Law and that he ca not help me.
Avoid this dealer as this is the biggest scammer.
It’s been over a month. Been driven up and down, regularly to Manchester with no issues.
They sales guys are not pushy. They have their own test track driving area. It all makes the experience really stress free. Great garage, great guys 😊
Raise it with them - no care - not covered by warranty as "serviceable" item. What kind of dealership sells cars with dead batteries. Pretty fkn basic. Wouldn't trust them and would avoid. Safer buying private.
