After my initial review, which I might add I was asked to write in front of the salesman. Fish motors have proved themselves to be an absolute shambles and I would urge everybody to stay well clear. The sale of the car was very quick, a good point. However everything else was awful. I paid £500 for the car to be serviced, taxed etc. The car service wasnt completed, I spoke to their service garage Ace Mot's who don't remember my car, so, they said they wouldn't of put low ash oil in as the car requires. The service was also suppose to include filter changes, this hasn't been done. The car absolutely stunk if you tried to use air con, when I checked the filters they pretty much disintegrated in my hand so had definitely not been changed. There was also dead batteries in the key fobs which I had to replace. They also forgot to ask me for my deposit, the way they run their business is a joke: so then I had to ensure angry abusive emails and calls from their salesman Darren and the lady in accounts, telling me they wouldn't be paying off my old car.... My old finance company had already phoned me and said payment had been received. Another joke at the way they operate! Within 14 days of me buying the car I had some very bad news which meant the finance wasn't going to be appropriate. After speaking with the finance company, they told me fish can reverse the finance for £100 and get me in a different car without the negative equity. So I contacted fish and they told me they won't do that and they would only swap the car resulting in negative equity. When I asked them to do the figures, they flat out ignored me. Needless to say I've been to another dealer, who have looked after me brilliantly and sorted me out. Fish do not deserve to be in business their customer service is shocking.

Darren from Fish Motors in response to Upset and disappointed

We are upset and confused with this. You were very happy with the car and said so on numerous occasions . The £500 was for a national warranty , road tax and service which was carried out . The balance deposit owed was an amount agreed before the sale and at no time were we abusive . You neglect to mention we paid for the key batteries and a second oil change as you wanted low ash oil . You contacted us 2 weeks after purchase requesting your old car back saying you loved the new car but you have had bad news and circumstances had changed . We were happy to help and suggested waiting a few days as you were very emotional and we will look at all options for you . We are sorry for the things you are going through and hope this was written in haste.

I purchased a Renault Megane from here back in July. The car was in good condition over all and I have had no major issues with it up to now other than the cruse control not working. The dealers have been quite helpful and friendly and I would recommend them. The car is good value for money.

I purchased a Vw Phaeton. I travelled 150 miles to pick up a car and they knew 2 days before that Im going to come to buy a car but unfortunatelly when I came the car was not ready to sell- damaged tyre and completely worn brake pads. They tried to sell a car which was not roadworthy. The car was sold not as described, a lot of spec have been missed which I noticed when come back home and dealer refused to sort it out. I noticed that just after my complaine they posted information on the end of all advert but this was not there before: Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the above information but errors may occur. Please check with a salesperson. Avoid to buy vehicle there.

Owner from Fish Motors in response to Damian

This is a very strange review as we have had the same disclaimer on spec for 10 years and Autotrader who advertise the cars also have the same . This is why we allow all customers to check over the cars thoroughly before purchase . This was no different , the customer had a 2 hour check and asked lots of questions being in doubt he knew all spec available before purchase . Also no mention that he had to take the vehicle straight away and all required repairs were paid in full by us !

Damian Korycki in response to Damian

You should not sell a car with damaged tyre and completely worn brake pads, I was lucky that I got home safe! This was a high spec car and was not possible to check everything or I just could miss something which does not mean that you do not take responsibility after sale, I belive that you know: Consumer Rights Act 2015 .I used ebay advert and there was no information or small writing about some kind of disclaimer like: \specification error may occur\" I asked about spec and you answered exacly the same like on the ebay. I can not remember any disclaimer on Fish Motors web site but if it was there it shows just how honest you are."
