Refused a return on a 2 week old faulty vehicle My mother purchased a 26k car from them. The vehicle had scuff marks to the nearside rear. The employee stated they would buff out and that you could claim on the Paint protection to fix it. This was a lie. They also supplied no documentation on this £1000 option they sold her. They sold her a 3 year £3000 warranty and stated you can take it to VW. Now claiming "oh you can but we only cover £75 an hour". Stated this was in the terms but terms not supplied until the day after buying the vehicle. Took 8k from my card but this wasn't reflected in the finance amount. For comparison, VW offer 2 years warranty, 2 years servicing, 2 year breakdown for £750. A third of the price and servicing included. The vehicle has scored rear brake discs. Instructed to go to Halford. Halfords state it needs rear Discs and pads. Big Motoring World say it doesnt need them after seeing 1 picture. Their "master tech" says its just corrosion. They havent even seen the vehicle. The vehicles got knocking from the suspension. The Gardx applied with swirl marks all over the car, at a price of nearly £1000. Lied about the full price of the car with options. Refusing to replace the discs and pads. Requested a refund within 30 days and refused to accept the return. Charged £750 for Gap insurance when it was purchased elsewhere for £150.
I’ll start by saying if could give you one piece of advice in life it would be to avoid this company like the plague. Their prices may seem competitive buts it’s all an elaborate scam to entice you on site where the hard sell begins. I had spotted a car on their website I was interested in, then received a px quote from their website (which was close to what I was quoted from 2 x local dealers). I then spoke to one of the sales team on the phone (Yuvraj) and was given an approx. cost to change. So, then a I headed down, a 7 hour drive each way! When I arrived the place was manic, but in fairness I was seen quick. Sales rep was friendly and had a short test drive but all in all I was happy with the vehicle. Then they started the hard sell with all the bolt-ons, paint protection/interior protection, warranty, scratch etc..... I mentioned to the young lady the car was still under manufacturer’s warranty until 2025, she quickly dropped the whole warranty (which was circa 5k), she was also pushing leather care products which the car did not have ! Anyway, then came the price. So, they came back regarding the px and had dropped their valuation by >£3k, I was stunned and offered no explanation (car is showroom condition btw), I stated their website quoted a much higher valuation, so she went on and carried it out and it was indeed showing >£3k higher than they were offering. Surprised she advised this was probably a ‘glitch’ on their website, and they could only offer the lower price. (Later she changed her terminology from ‘pricing glitch’ to its only an estimate). I was ready to leave and she brough out her manager Robert who tried the hard sell further, thankfully I have a brain and walked out. So, 14 hours of driving wasted to view a car, was completely mis sold on the phone. Clearly their sales tactic is to lie to get you down and hope you go through with the sale anyway. Thankfully after reading some of the other review on here I’m glad I didn’t purchase anyway. I will be filing the relevant complaint to the regulator on the matter.

Absolutely awful. I paid a deposit for a car and booked an appointment for Wednesday to view the car and drive it away. I live in Sheffield so needed to drive to Peterborough to collect the car. I hired a car as I am currently carless, filled the car with £50 of petrol, paid £250 car hire, organised to drop the car off in Peterborough while I sorted a taxi to the car showroom. Sorted insurance etc….. Called this afternoon to pay for the car to be told the car wasn’t at the showroom and wouldn’t be for my appointment tomorrow!! If I hadn’t have called i would have been stuck in Peterborough with no car as they had zero intention of letting me know it wasn’t available. So I’ve wasted £300 plus my time and all the hassle of cancelling insurance etc…. Called to complain and they were suppose to email the complaints email. Surprise surprise they haven’t. Awful, you should reimburse me for my wasted time and money.

Was sold a vehicle with dangerous faults and they are doing everything they can to avoid fixing this. Had the vehicle one week and it has dangerous faults. They claim they carry out 200 checks don’t be fooled. The after sales team are useless still no resolution to the problem with the car.

The car i bought was advertise as having a hands free tail lift.. ( Place your foot under the rear bumper and it opens) The sales person demonstrated this to me on first viewing. However, after taking the car home a couple of days later. This function did not work. On closer inspection the parts that work this had been removed. I took the car back and explained the situation. But they denied that it was ever on there in the first place. And said they never showed it to me. After some discussion, NO joy. I kept the car. And as far as i can tell, no other parts had been removed. Fingers crossed! So please check the car thoroughly before driving away! I would never buy a car from these People again!!

Firstly I would like to start with the fact that when you purchase a car through this dealers they offer you a voucher to review them then and there, I imagine this is because most reviews will be positive it’s not until things go wrong that you realise how poor they actually are! I have had an absolutely shocking experience! I purchased an Audi A1, before I had even left the dealership a fault light appeared, it was taken to their on sight “mechanic” 3 times and each time I was sent away being told the issue had been fixed. On the third time the dealership had closed so I could not return but I was assured if the light came on again once I had left that it would be fixed. The car also had a light shake to it when stationary and as the days went on this become worse. I then spent a week phoning and emailing with minimal response, I was constantly told someone would call me back and they never would! I eventually took the car to be diagnosed to an Audi specialist as I couldn’t wait any longer, the diagnostics detected 7 faults throughout the vehicle one of which was an engine fault!! I finally spoke to someone from aftersales and sent them the proof of my private diagnostics, they informed me that they would have to diagnose the car themselves in order to provide me with any sort of refund. Initially I was told they would only repair the car but I did not trust for one second that this would be done to a good enough standard considering the shocking service I had received up until this point. The car was eventually returned and I have received a refund, since purchasing with them numerous people I have spoken to have had very similar experiences. They claim to carry out a 200 point inspection but somehow managed to miss 7 faults!! It makes me feel bad that someone else is probably going to purchase the vehicle and the likelihood that the faults have been repaired are slim. I would honestly avoid ever purchasing a car from this dealers and I regret not listening to the reviews myself.
Disgusting company with zero aftersales - we are still awaiting our refund after being sold an unsafe car that broke down on the 3rd outing. Impossible to speak to staff once your sale has gone through. Avoid at all costs.
