Recently been into Forton Motors as thinking of changing my current vehicle. My last 4 cars including my current one, have been supplied by them. I’ve had no problems with any of them, and any queries or issues I’ve had (which have only ever been minor), have been dealt with efficiently. They are currently sourcing my next vehicle for me, and they were very helpful. Would definitely recommend

Recently bought my first car from Forton Motors and was very impressed with the whole experience. Extremely helpful and attentive throughout. I had a slight delay with the car due to the transfer of private number plates, however this was nothing to do with the garage and they were very understanding and helpful in sorting it out as quickly as possible for me. The car was exactly as described and I am more than pleased with it. I would definitely recommend Stuart and Steve from the garage, in particular Stuart who has dealt with the purchase and was a pleasure to do business with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Forton Motors to anyone thinking of purchasing a car. It can be a daunting experience but not here. Thanks again to both of you and hope you enjoyed the mince pies! I will be back when the time comes to change my car again although this may not be for a while as I love the car so much!

Review title says everything. What an arrogant, unfriendly bunch. Customer Service Excellence? This dealer has not heard of it. Most certainly can not recommend Forton Motors.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS in response to Arrogant. Unprofessional. Unhelpful.

The same for myself. They told me new front disks had been fitted, they hadn't. They were unsafe and I paid to have them replaced, the gearbox/clutch is faulty, the stop start doesn't work. I've sent multiple emails which they say they never received (I have proof they did). I sent a recorded delivery letter of complaint which they signed for with an "X". They have constantly lied in their response to my complaint on here. My case is now with trading standards and I shall publish the outcome nationwide. Seriously, avoid this place at all costs.

I'v had a car, bought from Forton Motors, a little over a month. I can't use it now, due to a fault. I am now being told that they do not offer any after sales service, are not responsible for the faults the car was sold with and will not help or even discuss the matter further.

Staff from Forton Motors in response to Couldn't be less helpful

We are sorry that you had a problem with your car, after 2000 miles / 4 weeks you phoned to say you felt a loss of power, because you live 130 miles away we agreed for you to take to a garage of your choice, we paid for repair. we were then contacted by you to say the car was still the same so we arranged for your car to be collected from you and relayed to another garage, you refused this ! We do our best to look after our customers and their cars however unfortunately some cars that are over 10 years old and coverd well over 100,000 miles can sometimes show faults, again we did our best to help.

The vehicle I purchased still had a safety recall which I Have reported the firm to trading standards as it’s cause for prosecution. & against the law. The car came with a 12 month mot apart from when I had the car looked at from the car dealership maker! The car had been passed with below the legal tread limit scraping the mental. Stuart would not let me test drive the car before my deposit was down pushed me in to the fiancé which the pair of them are in it together . In fact I never got to test drive . He lied about the fact it had two keys . Faulty hand breaks. Which then turned into engine issues. This company is a cut and shut and sell unworthy and unfit cars that shouldn’t even be let of the forecourt
