Will never give business to Vance Martin T/A Imperial Cars after seeing the lowkey racist and derogatory comments Mr Vance himself had made on a Telegraph and Argus (MP NAZ SHAH) article on a Facebook post I have screenshots of his remarks and they are not in the interest of diversity of multiculturalism therefore will advise all to steer clear of such a company.

Bought my first car from Imperial Cars and they went above and beyond to help me find the car that was right for me; as well as making the experience pleasurable. They could not do enough for me and no query was too much. Outstanding friendly service and will definitely be buying my next guy from this business.

On visiting Imperial Cars the owner suggested a Kia Ceed, 1.4 engine, in white. We asked if we could test drive the Kia later that day. The dealership official closed at 5:30, but the owner wanted to leave at 5. We said we would try to make it in time. At 4:30, we knew that we would not make it before 5. We called and asked if he would stay open. He agreed and said he was happy to wait. Close to the dealership, we got a rude call from the owner. He opened with "no one was here, that it was past 5 and he was waiting". I explained that we could see the dealership down the road. He ended the call abruptly. When we arrived, the rudeness continued but we still took out the Kia. In hindsight, I wished we had just walked away. We discovered an alarming amount of rust behind all four wheels and under the bonnet for an 8-year-old car. When we returned, we showed the owner the rust. He said that we were not interested in buying the car, that our questions weren’t valid and made us feel that unless we were willing to hand over cash, there and then, that we were wasting his time. Comments such as, "he had been trading for 30 years and didn't need our money" and "he could talk to anyone, anyway he wanted" made us walk away, never wanting to return.

Dale from Imperial Cars in response to Customer service was terrible.

Hi Nathan My name is Dale and I am an owner of Imperial Cars, firstly let me apologise that you felt the need to leave this review. I am usually the first port of call when it comes to the sale side of the business, but I was away on my honeymoon and my father who is semi retired was holding the fort while I was away . We are open until 5:30 pm but on this day it was my nephews bday and a meal had been arranged so my father wanted to get off a bit early, also due to it being the Cheltenham race festival the roads in and around us are very busy and chaotic with race goers travelling into Cheltenham. We have to put a time limit on test drives and this time of day because our trade plates are only valid for customers up until 6:00pm. With regards to the mention of rust I have personally inspected this vehicle and have been advised by my mechanic this was just just surface rust on the top strut mounts which is quite normal due to the drainage system from the skuttle panel , more of a manufacturers design error , Please feel free to contact me direct to discuss this matter as we thrive on our reviews as we do prepare our cars to the highest standards we can for a used vehicle. Kind regards Dale

Previous user was right. How can they be still in business? I would say do NOT buy a car from them ever. Bought a Mercedes A-class from them. Advisory on MOT has been hidden under V51 what was stapled over it and had been handed over in a bunch of documents (tyre parished - it is 8 yrs old tyre on ONE of the wheels). Pre-sale checks surely have not been done as the aircon was not working yet it was advertised it has aircon. Details of the so called warranty has not been explained nor it geographical scope. After some phone calls they agreed to fix aircon, we left the car with them what they took to some garage to fix it. The garage broke the latch of the bonnet, they do not want to pay for it (£30 part it is). Dealer said if we want take them to court, they don't want to listen to our complaint, they will not pay a penny. He said how dare we are asking him to fix anything else on the car when the aircon cost him so much, what are we thinking and how ridiculous we are.
