Beware of this garage. Car time sold a car with too many issues which was really hard for me to find out on test drive. I bought discovery sports ( Rk16XUN ) and cost me £30k including warranty and service plan.I’m trying my best to explain all the issues below: 1. The Car was sold with roughly 95% DPF blocked. DPF blocked warning signs came on just after few weeks of buying the car. Car time sent my car to few different places to find the problem as they couldn’t find anything. One of the garage was in proper jungle and it’s called Steve Parker in Rochdale and they advised to replace the DPF.I was so much worried as the 1st MOT Failed on emissions. Finally Car time replaced the DPF but they got USED DPF from scrap yard which a dealer should not do ( I found this from a technician called STUART). Dealer must always use new part. Even one day one of the technician took my car in his house in Burnley for overnight. I tracked my car and found it.However, I did not say anything that time as long as my car runs fine but I wasn't very happy on repair. Altogether it took 2/3 months to fix this issue. 2. The Car was sold with Timing chain problem. I heard noise from engine when I did test drive but I wasn’t familiar with that noise. I thought the noise is quite normal but Few months later the noise became more louder. I had contacted with AA recovery and recovery took the car to Cartime and technician found the timing chain is about to failed. Car time contacted Warranty company (RAMP) but Ramp saying that they cover failed components. As the car is still drivable, they can’t authorities the repair. I called ramp and had long discussions. Basically Ramp wants the timing chain to be failed or snapped and then they will cover but I couldn’t make them understand that if timing chain snapped while I m driving with my kids on motorway, can you imagine the consequences. My whole family might die. But I feel like I’m taking with robot. Reply is the same that we only cover failed component. However, I paid to Car Time (£1180) to repair the timing chain but again Car Time did dodgy repair. Different Kind of engine noise came one week later.Now car time found injector wasn’t sealed properly. It took another 2/3 months to fix this but the problem hasn’t been solved fully. Now engine oil leaking. Went back to car time. Now they found timing chain cover gasket is leaking. Again 2/3 months to fix. After that I feel the car is struggling to change gear( jerking when changing gears, engine shaking, steering wheel vibrating). Went back to car time and they couldn’t find the problem and sent my car to a garage called THAMESIDE TRANSMISSION. That garage found engine oil leaking from top of the engine and as the car timing chain was changed by car time, THAMESIDE TRANSMISSION doesn’t want to touch the car. Cartime garage completely destroyed my car engine. I asked few staff members to provide me owner email address but no one had braved. I will never recommend CarTime.I’m planning to take legal action but all I can say ignore Cartime. Thanks for reading such a long reviews. Abdul Malik 07427108494

Absolutely terrible service received! , Cartime’s after service + communication is either slow or non-existent, no matter how many times you call, email, send emails to managers and raise official complaints your messages will be ignored or fobbed off that you “will get a call back” which does not happen even with promises from manager that a call back will be held in 2-3 days. They do not hold their word or signature from what I have seen so far !. Unfortunately my car purchased from them had over £2000 of issues most of which I got sorted luckily by the manufacturer warranty, not to mention when picking up the car I found numerous cleanliness issues with it, i.e food in vents, food in armrests; I raised all of these issues to Cartime the following day after collecting the car, This was two weeks ago and I have been chasing them ever since, and to top it all off they have not given me my £100 holding deposit back or taken it off the price off the car on completing. I will be taking this review further. I am NOT happy with any of this at all.

I recently bought a Skoda Octavia vrs and was served by salesman Haider who took me for a test drive who was very helpful with explaining anything I needed to know about the car and made buying the car stress free and was very efficient I would recommend this salesman

Do NOT deal with Andy Glover. I’ll just start with that. He sold me a car which was faulty to which the police were arriving to my house due to the fault. After threatening the motor ombudsman they agreed to swapping my car. I am very fortunate to own a private Reg - they sold the car I returned with my private registration plate on and 18 months later I STILL don’t have my plate assigned to my car. Rather than sorting this out they have blocked my email address, IMAGINE blocking someone rather than sorting it. I cannot stress enough how much everyone needs to avoid cartime. They are rude, unprofessional, *creepy* and will do anything to make a quick sale, rip you off and leave you to pick up the prices. AVOIS
