Honest and straight forward dealing with 3x motors.

Firstly if I could award a 0 I would. I purchased a BMW 3 series M-sport from 3x motors in May 2016. If you wonder why I am leaving a review over 2 years later, its because I had to take this company to court to ensure justice was served with the motive of hoping it may deter future customers from loosing a lot of money. I will try to keep this brief. The car broke down 8 months after purchase. Green flag ran a diagnostic and said there is something very, very wrong with the engine. I took it to a BMW garage who conducted a full inspection of the vehicle. They found numerous serious issues all around the engine, specifically 5 leaks in the engine itself, but more catastrophic was that the entire engine was fully sludged up. I paid just under 5k for the vehicle and BMW said it wasn't worth fixing it. I contacted 3x motors and they said it was nothing to do with them but wildly claimed that the BMW engineers were lying. They asked that I take the car to their mechanics (over 30 mins drive away). Under law you must allow them the opportunity to provide a remedy so I had the vehicle lifted to them. Well what can I say a year later they still had the vehicle. They ignored the BMW report and starting fixing all sorts of things on the car. After a month without a car, I demanded a courtesy vehicle. After a lot of disagreement they gave me a courtesy car from their forecourt. This car it turned out was un-taxed so it was clamped outside my workplace. 3x motors were forced to pay the clamp fees. Later down the line I was driving the courtesy vehicle and the drive shaft fell through the bottom of my car whilst I was travelling with my children at 60mph, it was terrifying. 3x motors were informed of the broken down vehicles location to collect but they ignored me. They claimed my vehicle was fixed and arrived at my friends house at 9pm. I asked them if I could test drive the vehicle as they wanted £1,471 from me but they refused to let me. They said they would not give me the car unless I paid, so holding me to ransom. I reluctantly transferred the money to them and they disappeared. I sat in the car and sadly it became immediately obvious that it was in the same condition it originally went in with, nothing was fixed. I demanded they take the vehicle back which they reluctantly did. They then said it would be an additional £500 to fix. At this stage I sought legal advice and reported them to trading standards. I was advised to pay no more money and issue legal proceedings which I did. They played silly games claiming they did not receive instructions from the court etc but eventually a year later we went to court. Thanks to the condemning evidence from BMW which clearly stated along with photographic evidence that the damage was historic and therefore was not caused by me they lost. They even used made up evidence which the judge tore to shreds. This included an alleged service that had been done on the vehicle. They showed the judge who noted that £6 spent on oil and no other parts is not a service and laughed at their evidence. I think the judge was as insulted as I was. The judge awarded me all the money plus costs and told them clearly that their right to appeal was refused and the case should not be heard in court again. They had 14 days to pay the money but once again they did not comply. I then instructed high court enforcement officers to attend their property and cease the money which they did plus they incurred an additional £2,000 for playing their silly games. I thought it was all said an done but much to my surprise I recently received a court summons and this time they were taking me to court, for the return of their courtesy car (this was already addressed by the judge who stated that I had no liability for that). I submitted my defense knowing that not only was I going to defend but that I would be looking into getting a harassment order for abuse of process and a fraudulent claim. At this stage it was my view and that of a solicitors that they were trying to wrongfully claim money from me. They failed again to comply with the court and their case was struck out. Since then I have reported them to action fraud and previously reported them to Bedfordshire police for knowingly providing courtesy vehicles without tax etc. Believe me when I say this is the shortened version of events. Stay well away from this firm, they sell substandard vehicles and hide behind the 3 month warranty. Remember it is difficult to prove historic damage in a vehicle so stay well away and save yourself the money and the heartache.

Very helpful people always recommend.

I had been let down by a private seller and needed a car quickly. I found a Peugeot 207 advertised on Autotrader for £3300. Seemed a fair price for a 12 plate with 43k miles. I went the 50 miles to see it. Apart from some dents in the door, the car and documentation seemed fine. I left a deposit and arranged for the car to be delivered when the body repairs were done. The car was dirty. No warranty or AA cover was given, both were in the advert. First drive over 50 mph, severe judder from the front brakes - £130 to be replaced. The following weekend I took the car to Wales and under pressure and load, the clutch became very spongy. Clutch lit cost £280. Was due a 20k service and this was an extra £170, as the car was sluggish. I sent 3x motors a message and an email - no reply. I sent further messages by text, eventually having a reply telling me what the warranty was, and that I was told this verbally when I bought it! - I was told that they had driven it and that there was no obvious problem, and that I should have discussed any issues with them. Fact of the matter is that no warranty would cover these items, and there should have been a proper documented check of the car before it was put up for sale - terms of the 'AA promise'. On the face of it, nice guys but not at all interested in customer satisfaction. Don't buy a car of them.

When I pulled up outside the building, I to admit I was a bit disappointed with the appearance of the place, but i thought as I had driven over 50 miles, I might as well as view the car that I had arranged to see. As I test dove the car to my surprise I found the staff to be very kind and knowlegable. I asked to see the cars history which I was shown and they answered all my questions. They pointed out the things which needed to be done, and had got them fixed. Unlike other car dealers that I had been to they didn't try to hide anything, and I got a free one year's membership with the AA . If like me, you are quick to judge on appearance then dont, after all I came to buy a car, not to look at fancy show room or a plush sales office. All I can say is well done guys. I would not hesitate to buy a car fr0m 3Xmotors

Yesterday I arranged a part exchange deal with my Volvo for a Porsche at 3x Motors Ltd, I requested that 12 months MOT was added prior to collection, I double checked first thing this morning that everything was still ok and at 4pm I received an email to confirm the vehicle had passed the MOT and was ready for collection I immediately arranged new insurance for the Porsche and travelled down to Dunstable to collect. I sent a couple of progress updates as traffic was slow and at 5.50pm I sent another message to say that I was only 5 minutes away so what could possibly go wrong ? I received a text message reply that read as follows - "No problem someone has bought the vehicle just now..." These type of people have no place dealing with honest members of the public.
