Having spotted a car I liked the look of on their website, I gave First Cars Direct a ring to ask if it was still available so I could come and look at it. Right from the start the man on the other end of the phone was snappy and obviously wanting to get rid of me. He told me that the car Id seen had been sold and when I asked if they had any similar cars I was told that they had a couple and just to go on to the website and I would see them! He didn't even want to tell me about them. Oh well FDCs, I called you when I was actively looking for a car, had a decent budget and would have given you a cash sale, although going by some of the other reviews on here, I'm actually thankful it never got past the snappy phonecall stage!

Do not go near First Car Direct with a barge pole. Mr Singh is as dodgy as they come! Had fault after fault with this car and he has no remorse or a care in the world for honouring warranty.

I have used first cars direct for my last 2 vans and can honestly say they are fantastic and personally would not go anywhere else and would highly recommend Tony and his team to anyone looking to buy a motor. Great service.

I bought a saab estate from First Cars Direct last year. It has had a list of problems since this time, and not the usual wear and tear, within the first week the exhaust back box fell off, there was black smoke bellowing out of the exhaust "must be the fuel your using" the car was as it seems now well over priced I won't be able to sell it and get anywhere near my money back si I'm stuck with this shed for the foreseeable. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS GARAGE TO ANYONE. Steer well clear.
