I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the team at Lakeside Cars. There is always a little trepidation buying a car in this manner but you guys have totally nailed this. The car is great, the service is great and you should be proud of your business ethic, it really is a pleasure to be a customer of yours. My wife loves the car and the flowers were such a nice touch. When you get as old as me you have bought many cars over the years but I have never felt in such good hands so please pass my thanks to your entire team. I wish you all the best and I look forward to doing business with you again when circumstances are such. I thouroughly recommend this dealer.

"Devious sales practices"

Resolving issues

I visited the site to look at a Volvo V70 which was advertised with Active suspension which would have cost over £4,000 when new. When talking to Damien he assured me that the car had an MOT in November last with no advisories and that it had also been serviced in November with the previous documented service by Volvo in March 2018. After the vehicle was delivered I requested details of the last service as no details had been supplied with the vehicle. I was eventually supplied with a copy of an invoice as proof of the 'service work' carried out in November 2020 which turned out to be an oil and filter change - this after nearly 3 years since the previous service!! Certainly not what any reputable garage would have considered remotely adequate. The invoice they gave me also revealed that the vehicle had originally failed the MOT test - because of faulty wipers - and also notified 3 advisories. Three days later, with new wipers and no distance travelled, the vehicle passed with no advisories - with a different Tester. Why?? Well, 'coincidentally' the invoice revealed that another task paid for by Lakeview was to clean the three shock absorbers that the three advisories related to thereby concealing the fact that they were leaking and therefore failing. This was not rectification work but work to cover up problems that would otherwise have appeared as advisories on the subsequent MOT Pass certificate. Cleaning shock absorbers is NOT part of any normal service! Needless to say I have requested my money back as I would never have purchased the vehicle at the price if I had been told the truth - just to replace the shock absorbers would cost me £2350!! So far denial but we will find out what the Court thinks of such devious behaviour.

Lakeview Cars from Lakeview Cars in response to Devious sales practices

Here at Lakeview Cars we are extremely proud to say "we go the extra mile" for our customers but at times, it is with regret that we cannot please all of our customers all of the time. What some customer want, versus what they are entitled to, are sadly not necessarily the same thing and this is a case in point. In the absence of any cogent evidence to support such allegations, we have been unable to assist in this instance. As for the MOT issue, the customer has been properly directed to the MOT Test Centre and / or the DVSA as required. The Court of Public Opinion rarely provides justice to anyone.

Being in a national lockdown and the car being many miles away, we took a leap of faith in buying the car unseen. Our trust in Damien and his team was totally justified and they couldn't have all been more helpful. The car arrived as promised and was delivered by Russell who showed us around the car upon his arrival. We chose a fantastic little car with service to match. Well done folks, keep up the great work.

This was the first time of buying a vehicle through a dealer and to my surprise, it was easier than I thought. Damien made me feel at ease and I was over the moon with the car I purchased. Thank you for a great experience and would be my pleasure in recommending you

"AVOID! Rude, Arrogant & Slimey."

All was "ok" (kind of, but not really. I've had better service in McDonald's) until the owner of Lakeview Cars attempted to flog me a car that was "apparently" owned by 1 of his workers. I was told that the car was selling for £1,900. However, when I got home, I saw it being advised online for £1,750... Here's the worst bit though, they BOTH conveniently FORGOT to tell me that it was a CAT D car & THEN had the cheek and rudeness, to try & talk & scheme behind my back on the sly, hoping I wasn't looking & didn't notice... Bad move son, I saw it all. I won't be returning that's for sure and I suggest others AVOID also.

Damien from Lakeview Cars in response to AVOID! Rude, Arrogant & Slimey.

Thanks for your review and of course there is always two sides to every story and you came in to us to look at a Signum advertised at£1545 yet wanted hundreds of pounds off the asking price which unfortunately we could not accommodate .We don’t normally sell cars of this value but the Signum is a lovely example as you agreed but felt it was too dear but you wanted a cheap reliable “work horse “.As a gesture and trying to help you I introduced you to Joseph a part time Valetor who had a car for sale privately and I made it quite clear to you it was not through Lakeview cars ,not advertised with Lakeview cars and not on the premises of Lakeview cars and there was certainly no “cheek and rudeness behind your back “ as you were in front of us at all times and I am most upset to read your quite nasty comments when all I was doing was trying to help you find a cheap reliable car .As you will see from our reviews we offer excellent customer service and treat our customers with the greatest of respect and I have learnt a very big lesson from this !I wish you well with your search Regards Damien We have since sold the signum to a lovely customer at the agreed price who was over the moon with the car and Service provided .

The guys at Lakeview Cars are really courteous and helpful. My wife was looking for a car as ours was getting tired and we needed it for a long journey over the Christmas period. We did have a specific budget but found a car slightly over this at Lakeview. We were able to part exchange our current vehicle at a price which suited us and afford our replacement car. The staff were not at all pushy and allowed us to make our own minds up in our own time. We will definitely be visiting the site again when I change my car.

From the moment I purchased my car I was really satisfied with the service, even when I had an issue with the vehicle The owner was so quick to respond with support. Genuinely impressed with how they conduct themselves as a good car dealership honestly would recommend Lakeview Cars to anyone. If you want a good deal, ask for one of the dealer whose name begins with D he will definitely look after you.
