Karl smith car sales is not a car sales place, this is a place to lure people in, over charge them, Lie to their face and con, con, con!! Absolutely disgusting service from Jeremy and Justine, the manner/tone of how they speak to you when you call them to advise there is an issue with the £5,500 car you've just bought is disgusting, I wouldn't speak to my dog the way they spoke to me! I served them with a short term rights rejection notice after being told i'm not getting a refund for the car after i've gave them the opportunity to fix and they did'nt! Called Jeremy yesterday on a withheld number as they were avoiding my calls and he laughed at me and told me he rejects my rejection notice and that i would need to get the Trading standards to write to him. Well they will be doing more than writing to him :) (all calls are recorded) :). I've also informed Warranty Wise and the AA of the disgusting service and un-road worthy cars this garage is coning people to buy! Its a shame i've had to write this review as when i stepped into the garage they were so helpful and kind and lovely people, UNTIL THEY GET YOUR MONEY!!!

Jeremy Smith in response to !!STAY AWAY!!

It is a sad indictment of society where someone has the digital platform to vent ones spleen with everything that is wrong with their lives and manifests itself in a vehicle. I suppose I will entertain you all with a reply but it really doesnt need one. Leigh has recently moved from Liverpool to the area with her daughter and made a great point of wanting to shop locally. Prior to "lock down" she had a complaint that her cruise control was not working via the button on the steering wheel. Within the first week of opening we inspected her car and advised an auto electrician would need to investigate, ALAS with a 4 ramp workshop and 2 technicians, that isnt god enough for some people, despite the car being supplied with a full MOT and a full PDI before purchase. We are human beings and will not tolerate this kind of slander and lies without a right to reply and after 40 years in business it does appear to be the norm nowadays. However, for all you normal, sensible, reasonable minded people out there, tap into your self conscience and read between the lines rather than the drama. FAMILY RUN BUSINESS, SAME PREMISES FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND WE CARE!!!!!!!

We just picked up our car from the HalfWay in Blackpool and the service at Karl Smith Car Sales couldn't have been better, Jeremy answered all our questions and was friendly and professional throughout. Keep up the good work.

I would happy recommend this dealership! The dealers were really helpful and friendly and knew what they were talking about. I bought a Ford Mondeo a couple of months ago and It's been perfect and it looked like new when I received it.

Read a lot of bad reviews about Karl Smith Car Sales after I had ordered my vehicle so was a bit wary. But I think most people only leave reviews if they are unhappy. Shortly after purchase I called in to query the mileage as it had been accidentally advertised wrong, which was a genuine mistake. However they agreed to fit a cambelt at cost and give it a service for free, along with a courtesy car. I have had no problems with this dealer so don't read too much into the bad reviews. I previously was going to buy from the main dealers but had more problems with them!!! I recommend this dealer, friendly service and some great cars on offer. I purchased mine from the Squires Gate showroom.
