Met Mark who sold me the car, George and Bill who where there for me to finalise and pick the car up, there was an issue with the car but this was resolved very quickly in a financial agreement between us, all three guys were professional in their treatment towards both myself and my wife. No worries about dealing with them again despite being 250 miles away. Happy customer!

"WARNING WARNING AVOID ALL COSTS"

Not really sure where to begin as I have so much upset, fear and emotion as I right this review. I would advise in my opinion based on my real and very recent experience with Mark at GDC Motors Ltd, no body visits them at Manchester Road BOC Car centre. The month of January has been hellish for me due to a car I purchased on 5th January 2023 from GDC Motors Ltd ( right next to the indoor cafe in top corner of the centre). The car needed to be returned in less than 24hrs and I was told I CANNOT have a refund it doesn't work like that and that he has worked in the sales for ove 40yrs and know soo much more. This man was aggressive, patronising and very disrespectful to women and has a horrible aftersales approach... invaded personal space given patronising forced hug upon first collection  of car being apparently fixed. Less than 3 days later car is needing to be returned as another issue with the vehicle. At this point I have taken legal advice and dropped of vehicle to be "repaired" solicitor fees incurred for advice so far... I decided with their support to request the refund as I was entitled too from that start. This now resolved due to persistence of my legally trained partner and solicitor paid support. Very aggressively Mark handled the refund but trying to negotiate what refund I would get and reducing it, why made clear it's full refund that I request, tantrum kick off, name calling us, snatching card from us, aggressive stance towards us... absolutely pathetic but if was a vulnerable person or single female I could imagine would intimidate them. This place is highly unprofessional and if goes  to them please please be warned this are not good people to purchase a car from at all!. I have proof of my interactions with said person Mark and I have had to report to local community police and also install CCTV at my property since this experience with Him. Avoid at all costs.

John McAlpine in response to WARNING WARNING AVOID ALL COSTS

Some review and description of Mark, I have to say I cannot have but such a polarized experience than yourself, yes there was an issue with my vehicle when I picked it up but GDC Motors and myself came very quickly to a financial resolution to which I was happy with and which Mark honoured fully and professionally without the feeling that I needed any legal advice, which I have to say seems aggressive on your part from a bystander point of view and to get CCTV installed/police contacted well that's just OTT, next you will be telling me Trump told you so ha ha. No well done to GDC motors for a great service!

I bought a car off Bill and the team at Cresta Cars at BOC Bolton four years ago. It was so reliable so when I needed a change I decided to go back. Bought another car from them and I am so pleased with it and even in this pandemic they met me there when it suited me. They are so helpful I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a good reliable car.

I purchased a green mini off Mark Oliver at BOC in March and paid £10,995, after 2 weeks I found out that it had been in an accident and 2 doors were full of filler. I contacted Mark who said he would repair it. I phoned Trading Standards who told be the law states he had to give me a refund within 30 days. He ignored any correspondence I sent, this went on for 3 stressful months, eventually I got a solicitor to sort it out which he did, When I took the car back this obnoxious ‘person’ started throwing paperwork about like a child. Be warned avoid, it will cost you dearly.

"Very Bad after sales service "

We purchased a car from James Hancock at BOC Used Car Sales in April 2019, his opening line when we called him to see the car was “ I was on my way to buy some jeans from the Trafford centre!!” We should have walked away at that point! when test driving the car all the sales patter was applied and the buttering up, we liked the car so agreed the purchase provided the second key be replaced and the advisory of a leaking exhaust fixed as well as a full service and Fresh MOT. Collected and paid for the car a week later all’s well .... I rang James as the radio didn’t work properly, and the exhaust was still leaking we were about to take it to the garage then the car lost power on the motor way, turns out the coil pack and 2 spark plugs had gone. The 2 spark plugs were so rusted because they were sat in water, the garage advised me Someone had jet washed the engine. I had the garage write up what they found wrong with car ( spark plugs/coil pack gone/ leaking exhaust/ + the radio didn’t work right) I contacted James and said it’s in the garage and what needs replacing, (at the time it was just the spark plugs and coil pack) he went off to speak to his mechanic and didn’t get back to me for a number of hours by this time I had to have the work done as I needed the car for work and my garage was waiting. James disagreed with the price my garage quoted and said his would do it £30 cheaper! When I confronted James His attitude on the phone was appalling, I don’t let anyone speak to my they way he did. He told me I’ve been ripped off by my garage and that he was sick of this car, and that I had no right to decide to go ahead with the work carried out. He then rambled on saying I was boring him and he’s got better things to do than listen to me! The fact that James said the car had gone though a full service and MOT and they missed 2 corroded spark plugs, a leaking exhaust and a faulty radio it appalling, James Hancock should not be trading! they want you to buy the car and do not care what happens after you drive away, nor do they deal with situations in a polite professional manor. We have been nothing but polite with James and never demanded or raised our voice towards him and this is how we are repaid! The car has since had work done on the exhaust and radio at our expense as we didn’t want any more stress caused by approaching this man, we bought the car in April 19 and are now selling it I think that speaks volumes! Avoid BOC cars and James Hancock at all cost!

I'm a young girl who went to BOC used car sales to purchase a new vehicle. Id been looking online and come across a car I really liked so I went into speak to Chris. A couple of months later my back windscreen exploded, I rang Chris because I wasn't sure who to ring and he was disgusting. the way he spoke to me was awful. All I wanted was advise.. Basically once I drove the car away it was no longer his responsibility which is shocking! Terrible customer service.. I WILL NEVER use these again!

We went to see a Black Jaguar XJ Diesel eg GF55 HGA as advertised in the Auto trader at BOC Car centre in Bolton being sold by James Hancock.. The car is advertised an ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE CAR. After close examination we found that this was not true. In fact it has aluminium corrosion in quite a few places, front near side wheel arch, rear offside wheel arch, bottom corners of two doors to name a few. There is also very bad scratches to the nearside front wing and the side repeater is broken. The interior roof lining is sagging badly . When we pointed this out to the obnoxious salesman, he became very abusive and rude, and started to slag off our car saying you can't call my cars, when yours is just as bad. Does he not realise people go to car sales to upgrade and buy a newer better car. We do not know why he should choose to call our car as we were not using it as a trade in. We were going to pay cash on the day for the Jaguar if it was as stated an ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE CAR and we had no intention what so ever of trading in out car. How he manages to sell anything with the atrocious attitude that he has is beyond belief. He can obviously afford to turn down customers. Please avoid at all costs. James Hancock Car Sales at the BOC centre Bolton.
