Purchase a Mercedes A class from Essex Car Company with cash on 26th April. the dealer was very happy to take my money quickly. The car had a fault which we notice when we took the car to petrol station from just leaving the dealer. I Reported the fault to the dealer and he said I have to bring car back. I'm based in London. It was the bank holiday weekend so I ask can I use the warranty that I purchase to fix the car. They said yes but when I called they said I will have to pay for diagnostic. Contacted dealer to make them aware. After chasing the dealer he said I have to bring it in and they will give me a courtesy car. I purchased an automatic car but they was trying to give me a manual car. At first he said they gave away the last automatic car. At this point I was livid. Mysteriously they now have a automatic courtesy car. Signing the courtesy insurance it was highlighted that there's an excuse of a £1000 whether you're at fault or not. I straight up refuse to drive the car. Finally we came to a decision they will arrange for someone to collect my car. I made it clear to let me know when his on his way so I can let my partner know, he said he will call me in the morning. He never did, I ended up calling and he says his already on his way. Luckily I wasn't feeling well so I was on my way home. They collected my car and left the courtesy. I called on the next day to see how things was going. He tells me the car is already on it's way back. Lucky again I was at home. They returned my car with no paper work to say what was done and they even left the key for the other car that they had came down in. My car came back with practically no petrol in it and I had to remind the dealer they have to pay for the dartford toil. He confirmed he did but all now I haven't received the confirmation. He said he will send the paper of what was done all now I haven't received anything. I will never buy a car from this dealer.

I bought a car from here back in August. The car was not very clean but was in good condition and a good price. I am having an issue with a knocking noise that they have already tried to resolve once but the service overall had been okay an I would recommend them.

I bought a ford focus from this dealership in July. The car was clean and in good condition but I would have to mark it down due to me finding something unpleasant in the glove box but other than that it was great and up to now I have had no issues with the car at all. Its really great value for money and I would recommend this dealership to my family and friends.

I purchased a Mercedes back in July and up to now I have had no issues with it at all, the price only issue is that the car was supposed to be cleaned before I collected it but when I arrived it had not been done, they did offer to do it there and then but I didn't have time to wait. Other than that they have been very good and I would recommend them.
