The Approved Car Centre is the worst ever. We called about a car we liked, they said they had someone interested and thinking about the car so we laid a deposit to book it. I asked about the car and was told the condition was good from non smoker and olderly person who looked after it well. When my husband arrived there he said the condition wasnt great and the car smelled with cigarettes so he didnt like it. It also appeared that it was a year older than stated on autotrade. So he said he wants his deposit back as the description doesnt match the car and we dotn want to buy it and the sales person said ok they would refund it. A week later I called to ask and they said it was directed to their account dept to pay to us. I called after a month and they said they would check and nothing, then after another month called and was asked to give them details of the transaction. I replied and nothing. I sent a few sms saying we will report them to Trading Standards. They responded it was a gamble and deposit is lost. So we are now dealing with TS and Motor Ombudsman to get back our money. So avoid them. They are dishonest horrible company that will rip you off. We ended up taking almost new car from Bristol Motor Cars on their promotion with 0 % credit for half a price of new. Glad we didnt bought that old snelly car from Approved car centre. I hope we can recover £100 our deposit.

"Car came with dangerous defects"

I purchased a car this past June from the Approved Car Centre in Harlow, it just went in for an MOT and has been written off due to SEVERAL dangerous defects. Also, they lied on several points in the advert. They said it was the mid-range model and it was the budget model that even lacked power-assisted steering. Car was advertised as smoke-free, so I'm left wondering why the ashtray was thick with ash. I confess as a learner driver I was naive, but the fact is this dealership lies about the cars it sells and is quite happy to sell cars so defective they could kill the unwitting individual foolish enough to buy from them. However tempting a car they're selling is to you, do not make the mistake of buying from them. You will seriously regret it.

I went to this garage to see a car and I felt very comfortable with the way that they treat their customers , the variety of cars was pretty good ... i decided to get a Nissan qashqai ...that turned out to be an excellent investment. . The staff was very helpful and friendly, as i was new to the country they guided me very well through insurance and other difficult processes. I would definitely recommend this company! Thanks to Approved cars centre staff for making it a comfortable experience for me

I've had nothing but severe problems with approved car centre. They never answer the phone the car is a heap of scrap I've had to pay hundreds of pounds to chips away to sort the work out that I made them do because I refused it. I'm still waiting for them to refund my expenses which they said they would. I'll never get another car from them nor should anyone I advise you not to.

Bought a car here as it was round the corner and a fair price. Car needed some work before I collected it which was not done a temporary fix was. When the cold weather hit the car completely froze and battery completely died. No antifreeze in the car when it was sold at all and now don’t know if internal damage has occurred due to this...

I bought a car from these guys in June. It came with a 128 point check, however there are various minor faults including a rear door that does not open from the inside, a warning light relating to the start/stop system and a faulty drivers seat belt mechanism. Delivery was promised for 9pm but they arrived at 1 in the morning without contacting me about the delay. To top it off, they failed to send off the new owner docs, then proceeded to lie to me on the phone and dish out some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

We just part exchanged and purchased our new car from approved car centre. From start to finish the team were friendly and offered care and excellent customer service, treating all of the customers equally. They were not too pushy and had such a relaxed professional vibe trying to find us the easiest and best deal to suit our needs . They even made sure all of our needs and questions were met and sorted before purchasing the car. Highly recommend them. Very very friendly staff. Thank you approved car centre.
