I bought a car from this dealer in 26th September 2022. I was told by ACE Motor Vehicles Ltd the car will be serviced and will have one year MOT. Within few days of purchasing this car, I noticed so many faults with this car which includes : the service lights for the car was on and requesting the car should be serviced, Service ESP Light came on, ABS light was on, the rear tyre was loosing air, there was warning light that the oil is low etc. This same car started having coolant problem shortly after purchasing the car and kept displaying on the dashboard. I requested for the details of the ombudsman or information of the regulatory body from this dealer so I can send my complaint to them. This dealer until date has not sent me this information. Please be aware that the first time I got in touch with them to make my complaints, they did not respond to my email. It is shocking how a car that this dealer mentioned was serviced will be requesting I top oil within days of purchasing the car. I also requested information of the mechanic who did the servicing and the MOT. Please be very careful before purchasing a car from this dealer.

Customer bought a petrol insignia in september 2022. The car was supplied with 24 month warranty, 12 months mot and was fully serviced. The customer inspected the car and was given a test drive. He was happy to proceed with purchasing the vehicle and took the car away on the day. He drove the car back to Aberdeen(300 miles). His initial complaint and everything really thereafter was because a service message appeared on the dash in the coming weeks. He did not believe the car was serviced even though official proof was provided. To keep him happy we booked the car(he is above booking his own car in for diagnostic) into a local garage in Aberdeen to service the vehicle(Again!) and diagnose the service light. The local garage will not deal with this customer anymore because of the abusive and threatening behaviour he showed towards them at the time. He has been abusive and threatening to our staff with a chain of threatening emails to both us and a legal company we retain. He is quite simply the most ignorant, entitled and unreasonable customer we have had the displeasure to deal with in all of our years selling used cars.
Brilliant service from Ace Motor Vehicles. I recently purchased a car from them and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I looked at a range of 4x4s and they were great in helping me select the right car for me and my family. Everything was very quick and any repairs needed were dealt with timely for me with a quick turn around. Would definitely recommend this dealership.

Bought a car last year had problems from the start. Got 18 months warranty not worth the paper it's wrote on. Car in garage at the minute over 2k work needs doing on it. Warranty covers nothing. We've only done couple 100 mile in it. How is this garage AA approved.

Judging by the provided name the customer bought a 15 year old(07) Mercedes Ml320 from us 12 months ago on the 4/3/2022. Heard nothing from the customer since apart from 2 weeks ago(30 Jan 2023) when we were emailed asking for a copy of the service invoice from the point of sale, which we duly emailed back. It is impossible that the vehicle has only covered 200 miles in 12 months. The extended warranty IS worth the paper it is written on and is provided free of charge to all of our customers at considerable expense to ourselves,a practice that 99% of other used car garages would not provide. The vehicle also has a history of no advisories on the MOT(14 MOT'S in its lifetime with no failures and only 3 advisories across them all), the last 6 MOT's having no advisories at all. Ace Motor Vehicles Ltd cannot be blamed for a failure(of which we have no information on what the failure is) with a used 15 year old, 100,000 mile vehicle 12 months after the vehicle was sold.
Anyone out there who has dealt with Ace motors please do not buy any cars from this company, as I have dealt with them seven weeks ago and I bought a car that faulty and I didn't not know after one day of having I had to jump start twice because there the battery was flat and it was suppose to be a new battery. Lights came on the dashboard and kicking out black smoke out of the exhaust. I phoned the company up wanting my money back and he not give I threatened with trade and standard which they were not bothered about so they give me a another same price range what I really didn't want, which was not worth the money what I had paid for the other that was faulty. So I repeat please do not go to this company.

Customer bought a 13 year old 120,000 mile Nissan Qashqai in early Jan 2023. The car was serviced and MOT'd by a local independant garage at point of saleand was provided with a brand new battery. Customer had the car a few days and reported an issue about the vehicle not starting(i.e battery fault). He was told to bring the vehicle back for inspection. The customer was not happy with the vehicle but could not prove the fault existed when the vehicle was returned. We offered the customer a different vehicle that was listed at the same price £3500 as the customer did not want the Qashqai anymore. As part of the deal for the new vehicle it was agreed that we would replace the timing belt and water pump of the new vehicle at our expense (along with engine and gearbox service). £500 worth of servicing. The customer collected the vehicle a few days later and we have not heard anything since. The Qashqai was taken to a local garage for inspection. We could find no faults with non starting and subsequently sold the vehicle to a new local customer who has reported no starting faults in the first 30 days.
Great experience, very helpful staff. They made my purchase very easy. The car I purchased is great and I could not recommend them highly enough.
Excellent choice of cars, friendly and helpful service.

Went down last month. We were offered a test-drive on the day, but decided not to and walked away. Possibly the best decision I have ever made. We looked up the MOT history when we got home. The car has been recalled by Honda. The car had no MOT. The boot was jammed shut. The Air-Conditioning was broken. There was a large dent to the right rear-side. There was significant damage to the paintwork. It rattled and made some worrying noises, after being jump-started. Get a garage you know and trust to MOT the car you want to buy. Or insist on having the AA or RAC to conduct a comprehensive inspection on the car - especially if you want to purchase from here. If they won't allow you to do either of these things - they may have something to hide. Do your research. Look up the history of the dealers and the owners - it is freely available online. You will be shocked and glad you did. Check the MOT history. Check the company's history. Stay safe. Don't put yourself at risk. If you really want to risk it - protect yourself by getting the AA or RAC to perform a comprehensive inspection. They are expensive but better to spend £100-200 making sure the car is road-worthy than spending several £1000s on a car that you cannot use or will break down soon after purchase. Check the VIN number matches, make sure you see the V5C document and service history. Get an MOT or vehicle check from your a garage of your own choice - not the dealer's choice. Make sure you look up the MOT history on the Government website and check if it is safe to test-drive.

ANONYMOUS NON CUSTOMER Keyboard warrior carrying a non existent grudge best know to him or herself. All cars are sold with full 12 months mot and service at point of sale.d. No car sales company in the UK would allow a customer to take the vehicle to their own MOT garage for MOT as part of standard practice at point of sale. If there are any issues(mechanical or bodywork) you find when inspecting the vehicle please let us know and we would be happy to rectify them free of charge. AA inspections are welcome. All of our cars are HPI checked and are clean. We do not sell write offs. 95% of our vehicles come direct from national main dealerships. Ps, this reviewer arrived on site with very questionable motives to look at a 50,000 mile, 1 lady owner Honda Jazz automatic with full main dealership service history(12 services all at HONDA). Car was sold shortly thereafter to a happy customer. He arrived on site in a scrapheap car, a 2002 reg "suzuki wagon r" with 135k miles on the clock, worth £100 and has an astonishing 17 key advisories notices on the current MOT. He saw fit to transport his partner and baby in this vehicle(they were in the vehicle).

Ask reputable MOT & Servicing garages in the Durham area about Ace Motor Vehicles or their previous known trading names (JGM Car Sales and JGM Motors). See what they say about them and whether they have brought a car to them for an MOT. You may be shocked & appalled. I cannot post the names of the people that run this company - as outlined in this websites terms & conditions - but, if you happen to search for their names, the search results will bring up a wealth of shady information, dodgy dealing, and news articles. Their replies on this website alone are indicative of what type of outfit they are.
