"CON MAN"

Sold me a death trap! Lied about everything to do with the condition of the car. Said it had full service history. It had none. Number of owners etc. Tried to resolve the issue, he became rude and said I was harassing him. He pretended to be someone else answering the phone. Gave me fake Solicitor details to deal with it. AVOID! AVOID! This man is a con artist. So your home work. If I could give zero stars I would.

Asked 3 times about full service history. Each time assured me it was complete. Turned out last service was 33 years ago. The car appeared lovely, but unfit and unsafe for the road. O/S/F wheel seized brake calliper, which would have caught fire within a short distance. N/s/f tyre extremely perished with visible cut, and upon delivery only 12lbs pressure. Temp gauge not working, also classed dangerous for any journey. Brake fluid tested in the red, indicating high water content. Possibly unchanged for many years. The list went on. Fortunately I'am capable of fixing most issues myself. Like the customers before me, loves hanging up the phone, saying send a letter to my lawyers, without any recourse. Would easily win a court case. Can I be bothered? See you soon.

I wanted Kinson Motor Company to conduct the transaction without me returning to the UK - I live in France, and so this means I have to rely entirely on old-fashioned trust. John sent me a video of the Jaguar XJ10 and numerous photos all taken only minutes before, and he voluntarily took close-ups of all the areas where these lovely old cars are vulnerable. He arranged transfer to the ferry, and I arranged collection this end (St. Nazaire, France). When the car arrived I was amazed. It is exactly as described, if not a little better, and for a 55 year old car runs like a bird. I'm really really happy with it, and John even found an enthusiasts group here who speak English! I have to say it, if I ever want a good deal on a classic vehicle I will be straight on the phone to John for help. Don't forget mate, there's always a cold beer waiting here for you with your grateful customers in Nantes. All the best from Peter and Yasmin.

Brought a car from kinson motor company on the sat and by the monday engine check light has came on. He won't take responsibility or answer calls etc as his a coward. So in process of court proceedings. He also goes under different company with different numbers. AVOID at all cost just scammers.

Having dealt with Kinson Motor company I would advise against it...the reviews are correct. Do not give these people the time of day and certainly not a deposit as you will never see the money again should you change your mind...the fact that no email contact, the receipt hand written scribble and the reviews should have warned us off - putting it down to very bad experience.

My partner bought a van at Kinson Motor Co less than a month ago. We had to get the van towed to a garage a week ago because smoke came from the bonnet. Since then the garage have told us it will cost several hundreds to fix. We have called kinson motor company to discuss warranty but each time we have been lied to and hung up on a number of times. We are now having to try and go through the courts to sort it out.

Only good things to say about this dealership and I would happily recommend them. They were super helpful and friendly. Really happy with my Renault Megane. I have not had any problems up to now and I have had the car for a few months and it was also superb value for money.
