We bought a car recently with Botley Car Centre and they were great. Very professional, knowledgeable people and great response times. Nothing was too much trouble which we are very grateful for. Lovely little business. Thank you Jerry and Rob.

I’ve left a review once already but the business owner threatened to sue me, having read some of the comments here it looks like others have had the same treatment so heres my 2nd brutally honest review. I decided to buy a car from this garage in March as they were a local business to me I’ve known for years and it turned out to be a huge mistake. Sold me a car they had been struggling to sell because it had faults. They told me they managed to diagnose them and they would be fixed before the eventual buyer collected the car, they had a total of 9 weeks over 3 periods to fix them and never did. Lots of discrepancy between what he says and what is evident in reality, no invoices to prove any professional workmanship carried out, they damaged the car whilst I left it with them for the 3rd time to fix it. Admitted that it looked to be damaged by them and later said it was my fault for leaving the car in their care. Very shady way of dealing with customers, Others I’ve spoken to in the industry say they’ve had trouble dealing with this business in the past and a law firm I spoke with told me they’ve had dealings with this business before.

*To clarify* The vehicle ‘appeared’ to be damaged after I left it with them for the 3rd time. I don’t have any photos of the vehicle before I left it with them, only immediately after I picked it back up.
Robert Sanders from Botley Car Centre in response to The worst car business I’ve dealt with
The parts were not available from the main agent due to the vehicle being 20 years of age. We did not struggle to sell this car, In fact we had 4 other people wanting to buy it at the same time. We sold it to you and handed it over when the part was actually working but you later found that it had an intermittent fault with the I-control. We welcomed you back to fix it at our cost. It’s a 20 year old vehicle, no vehicle of this age is going to be perfect! We ordered the required part 3 times online, unfortunately the supplied parts were wrong twice, hence the time scale for repair… You were kept in the loop the whole way through and loan vehicle was offered and used free of charge. Unfortunately a bumper was marked whilst in our possession. We apologised for this and had it repaired at our cost. Mentioning that we have supposedly blamed you for the damage for leaving the vehicle with us is a blatant lie. I am the director of the business and dealt with you from start to finish. You are being slanderous here which is the reason I am speaking to our solicitors tomorrow. If you would like the invoices for the repairs I can email you these, The local repair garages bill us directly as we are paying the bills but you are welcome to them. We have nothing to hide and have no reason to lie to you. Vehicles go wrong sometimes! We have done our upmost for this customer again as always. Unfortunately we cannot please everyone!
***AVOID*** I brought a vehicle from Botley Car Centre that was not fit for purpose. I was told by Rob Saunders that I had a warranty on the vehicle and to bring it back if I had any problems. Within 1 week there was a knocking noise. The noise was so loud that three separate mechanic friends identified the issue as the DUAL MASS FLY WHEEL, for those not mechanics this is a MAJOR fault. I contacted Saunders who drove my vehicle for a couple of days and said there was no issues??? Saunders clearly does not know about cars as he said the DMF was not a MAJOR fault and not covered by the warranty. He clearly lied about the warranty cover. I would not trust him and strongly suggest shopping at reputable dealers. Also his customer service is atrocious as he never answers his phone and appears to avoid confrontation. Lesson learned by me and £1000 out of pocket due to repairs needed. Please don’t suffer the same fate.

John, I personally drove the vehicle for two days straight covering roughly 120 miles. It got me from A-B perfectly well with no noises/ issues. Our mechanics drove it who were also 100% satisfied with its condition. The finance company inspected it and have also agreed there was no issue with it. I said to you if a clutch failed or the apparent noise got louder then we would sort out what was needed. We have been in business since 1981 and have a very good reputation. We are here to help you but we are not going to spend money on a vehicle if there is nothing wrong with it. .
5 stars for this dealership! Upon arriving at their office I was instantly handed the keys to the vehicle of my choice. I was left alone to have a look at my own leisure and handed a cool drink as it was such a warm day. I then went for a test drive followed by purchasing the vehicle there and then and it drove home perfectly without any issues. I am delighted with my new vehicle and what a great team at Botley car centre
I was not sure really what size van I needed for my business until Rob let me look at several various vans before making the correct choice! My new van came with a new MOT, service and cambelt, it was very clean and well presented. Rob there in 3 months warranty which a lot of other van dealers didn’t offer and said that if I were to have any mechanical issues then he would loan me a vehicle whilst being repaired which has given me good piece of mind! I will definitely be returning to Botley car centre for my next purchase!
Bought a vehicle last September and had a problem with it. Took the car back 3 times and assumed that it would be fixed. No, they drove the car to London and left the car empty. Took for MOT in January and discovered the complete suspension needed doing plus front brakes. Response - wear and tear - must have known about it when I bought it. Now lost £3k in repairs. Don't buy from here unless you have an AA check

Robert Sanders from Botley Car Centre in response to Very poor service.
This has got to be a competitor dealership or something surely? I run the business alone, I have no interest in travelling to London and even if I did why would I use a customers car to get there when I have my own? Completed lost with this one...
