Bought a mini from Douglas paul. Day 3 of having the car , engine management light came on. Got AA out to read it , 15 faults !! Phoned dp and they said we'd have to book it in with their servicing team . We git it on finance so contacted them and they advised us to get it read at another garage, as we needed evidence if we were to return the car. As we were still within the 30 days , we had every right to return it . Got it read again and yep , 15 faults ! Dp were being awkward with yhr finance company, saying nobody was available to talk to them and was ignoring emails. We got a health check on yhe car and they found the brake calipers were knackered , the stop start wasn't working and a tyre had kurb damage. The finance company was more than happy and said we now had more than enough evidence to return the car . Guess what , dp was still being awkward! The guy from finance company sent them one final email and they finally accepted the car back . We got our deposit refunded. We returned the car on the Sunday and on Monday it was back up for sale !! No way had they fixed all those faults , it was late afternoon when we dropped it off. Stay clear of these . They're dishonest people . AVOID AVOID AVOID

Hi Claire thanks for your feedback. We are sorry you didnt have a good experience with us and we have put measures in place to ensure issues can be dealt with more swiftly. The car was back up for sale the next day and then quickly sold as it was a very nice vehicle. Needless to say the car has never been back with any issues from its new owner and they are over the moon with there purchase.

Went to view car when it was raining not ideal I know but the salesman said if you leave a deposit and look at it tomorrow and don’t want it he will refund deposit. that wasn’t a dry day either but the car looked well so we bought it wasn’t till we got home that we noticed a chip in windscreen we phoned and asked them if they would pay or at least give half the payment to get it fixed as the car wasn’t cheap but they point blank refused and they knew the car had to be safe as we have young twins they waste money putting new plates on so you can advertise their business for them avoid avoid avoid only want your money

Jonathan from Douglas Paul Select in response to Only want your money

Hi could you please contact the sales manager directly and he will gladly have a conversation about this matter as we have no recollection of who this is or what vehicle you purchased. We have our own in house team that deal with screen chips so sadly this maybe one we missed. We look forward to hearing from you.

Ellis not fit for any position where the public are concerned, rude beyond belief Called me stupid told me our car was a disgusting mess and he would not put his dog in it!!!!!! Douglas Paul have had our car since Jan 7th 2022 and still as of today 22/02/2022 still not done drive shaft will not pass a test and car in for test 01/03/202. Ellis or Elliott whoever this rude person is should go for some training in human beings , he told me he is going to the police to say that we have stolen their curtesy car which they gave us. What a star he is. I have just been in touch with a reputable garage who when they stopped laughing at this person at Douglas Paul said what ?????????? glad he does not work for us. KEEP AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE AT DOUGLAS PAUL SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS

Drove 1.5 hours to collect a car, after 1 day the car went in limp mode. Was also promised the reverse camera would be ordered and sent out but still havnt received! Drove the car back up to have the car sorted and the salesman was disgusting rude, No insensitives where offered for the inconvenience such as fuel, absolutely no care whatsoever other than spoken to like dirt!! Avoid the garage at all costs !

"The worst car dealers I've ever experien"

Bad experience from start to finish! Drive up from near London to find the car had issues. Missing a back boot cover, which I was assured was there before hand . To be fair they did sort that. The parcel shelf was jammed down by the seats, it looked like it was put there to hide the damage. I spotted the damage, they assured me it would be sent, even wrote a letter of confirmation, but it wasn't sent. I challenged the sales manager who became threatening , he said he knows everything about his cars, but the parcel shelf was above his pay grade and above him. Jonathan has been obstructive and dismissive throughout. Having left the garage I realised the side plastic facia on the seat was broken, when I reported it, Jonathan became sarcastic and denied the damage was there before hand and refused to replace it. Having driven about 20 miles the engine management lights came on, i took the car for a full service £260it didn't fix the problem. There was also a major electrical fault!
