"Dodgy start, but got there in the end :D"

I bought my son a Peugeot 207 with 36K miles about 10 months ago with 11 months MOT. When we had the MOT done last week, we discovered it had an ugly 'advisory' ie heavy corrosion underneath for the last 2 years. I was shocked to hear of this and so looked for reviews and found this website; where there were a number of bad reviews for Keywise re: rust etc, As you can imagine, I was alarmed about this and called Keywise immediately where I spoke to Jerry. I am pleased to say that Jerry asked me to bring it in and any repairs that needed doing were done for us. Thank you! I know we paid for the additional 12 months warranty, but TBH, I found Jerry so genuinely polite and very helpful. Needless to say, we know got the car back with a new subframe, mid exhaust and rear coils. The underside looks better and problem solved. However, to ease my curiosity, I checked out MOT history for other cars they have there and it appears that we may have been a bit unlucky with this car, However, this doesn't mean that Keywise did not have a moral duty to my son & I regarding a car fit for purpose; but that they were very willing to correct these faults without a fuss. Thank you Jerry. You are an asset to the company and highly recommended for your knowledge. Take care :D

"Death trap fiat 500 "

I purchased a fiat 500, the car is a death trap power steering pump failed on the m5 it was so rotten it leaked overtime and seized up then I was pulling out of Exeter st David's railway station and I heard a almighty crack my front suspension had literally pushed through the strut top mounts. I've had to spend another 5k plus to buy another fiat 500. No offer of part refund on the car so it ended up being broken for spare parts and scrapped. I really wish I had looked into this more before I purchased but you live and learn I've also informed trading standards and apparently they have a list of the same complaints and issues and are looking into key wise so hopefully they will go out of business. What I can't figure out either if you look on their Facebook page the good reviews are mostly from the sales staff I recognised them, anyway you've been reported the car is scrapped and I won't be buying again

can i just say that i have taken several weeks before sitting down to write this review as i like to be fair and write things when i am not thinking with a level head. first the good the guys in the showroom were very helpfull, no big sell just here are the keys have a test dive and let us know if we can help. i am afraid that is the end of the good. now i bought a Volvo s40 from them after having a bad accident and needed a car quick, my first mistake. when i took the car for a test drive there was bearly enough fuel to get me down the road and back, but the car drove ok so i went for it. when i picked up the car again they put bearly enough fuel in the car to see me to the garage i was literally driving on the red. after about a month i noticed a noice when steering and found that there was a power steering leak i contacted them to take it in which they duely did 4 days later i was told to pick it up, i was told by the guys in the showroom that it had been the power steering pump and that they had replaced it, all seemed fine until suprisingly just after the 3 month warranty had expired there was a knocking noise when i steered and a high pitched squeal when it was in full lock. i then got my ususal mechanic to check the car there was a problem with one of the joints on the wishbone arm which he said someone had obviosly bodged to hide it, he also told me the sqeual was because i needed to replace the power steering pump, i of course said that cannot be true as it was replaced, when i was showed this he was right you could see that it had not been replaced at all. obviously not a happy camper i rang the gararge and spoke the so called maintenace and warranty expert, now i have been in the service industry for over 30 years and i have never had such bad customer care or a vagarant lack of giving a monkeys about customers, when i told him of the situation he simply said well we fixed the leak did we not? and yes the leak was fixed but that was not what i was told had been done and further more the leak had obviously damaged the pump and they had bodged the repair, his reply was he would have to check the job sheet and get back to me neadless to say 4 weeks later i am still waiting. in short it has cost me £600 so far to rectify the issues that it had. so if you like roulette then go for it you might be lucky and get a good car but you might more likely get a ringer that is going to cost big time to fix, so do yourself a favour and look at reviews of garages, and go somewhere else that actually does it right before buying or you might end up in the same boat.

I purchased what I thought was a decent low mileage Audi, I've spent over two thousand pounds putting the Audi right. you're handy work or what ever worked on my car left it in a dangerous state important bolts missing etc. Also an electrical multi plug left broken and was put together with some glue substance, I am now going to take key wise to court to recover my losses as I have been unable to work for two weeks plus recover my garage bill from Audi.

I bought a mini off them, my hand is in my pocket from day one. I've had it a year and just had it mot'd I've had to buy a whole new subframe, also sections of the exhaust, and welding to my strut mounts and floor pan. The mini is a right shed on wheels I hope who ever is reading this please think 4 times before buying anything off key wise. I'm stuck with it because I took out a finance deal.

Good Afternoon, We are fully unaware of any issues regarding a mini. Regards Keywise Cars Ltd

Staff from Keywise Cars Ltd in response to Avoid at all cost.

Good Afternoon, We believed this issue to be resolved ! The vehicle you purchased from us apparently had issues after a year of ownership. As a gesture of goodwill we refunded you in full for the car. We are puzzled how you can then go ahead and leave a negative review. Regards Keywise Cars Ltd
