Have been trying for over one week to contact this dealer without success. I have tried leaving emails via his website and ebay - no replies! I have found 5 phone numbers (3 landline and 2 mobile) - no reply from any of them! It would appear he is just another 'dodgy' car dealer!

"Engine blew up the next day, AA recovery"

DO NOT PAY THEM BY DIRECT TRANSFER! Bought a 2003 blue Sazuki Wagon R on Friday for £1350, as a small A to B car. Engine blew up the very next day on Saturday Evening. Lasted 1 day, first jounrey after getting home. Could of died on the motorway from a dodgy MOT, liscence plate number - PE52 WJJ. Sat in the freezing cold waiting for AA to arrive, I texted Martyn immediately. Engine seized from not being serviced. Oily sludge spat from the engine, and timing belt snapped. Car is in a poor state. Nobody answering the phones, not responding to text or email, not suprised. Have no green slip and the car needs to be towed or scrapped before the council take it. They have deleted my posts from facebook. I want my money back!

A good start, followed by a bump in the road. Martyn is a straight talker, but friendly and approachable dealer. Car I purchased did break down soon after and was initially very upset, as was my partner (being freezing cold outside didn't help) Eventually managed to get him on the phone after a delay due to personal family matters. I'm out a bit of time and money, but neither of us could have predicted the future. All the best

Spoke at length with Martyn reference a vehicle he had for sale, very honest reference the vehicle and not at all pushy on the phone. Went to his storage facility today and looked around the car in question, Martyn was a pleasure to deal with and totally no pressure to buy from start to finish. I actually didn’t end up buying the vehicle in question as it was not exactly the spec I wanted but it was exactly as described by Martyn and we left with a hand shake all the same. I took my wife with me and she commentated on what a nice guy Martyn was as well, really making us both feel at ease which as most people know is a rare thing these days, I have met some horrible dealers in the past! Martyns son was at the yard and he was a polite friendly guy as well, a credit to his dad. Overall I totally recommend Martyns dealership and can honestly say you will be made to feel welcome regardless if you buy a vehicle or not. Well done guys, keep up the good work.

When answering the phone he says ‘hello’ and doesn't say anything like ‘this is Martyns car sales’ which is a red flag. But i Called to ask about a car and was told ‘it was not on site yet’ , said he would call us back that week, 1 week passes, no phonecall. So we call and get no answer, i use another phone and he answers straight away, and he says the car would be ready in a couple days and i could come view it. Yet no phonecall again. So i left it another week and tried to phone him, funnily enough no answer. I used my work phone and he answered straight away. Which he then proceeded to tell me that the car would 100% be ready by the end of next week and that im at the top of the list for the car and he promised to call me....1 month later, no phonecall, and now the car has No MOT. Just the worst service.

"Buyer beware (Hyundai Getz KN52 OKC)"

I visited in Feb 2020 to see a Red Hyundai Getz priced at £2250. The car was described as in 'very good condition throughout' - I spoke with Martyn on the telephone - he did not disclose any bodywork damage. I went see the car. It had extensive damage to both rear wheel arches. How he considers it acceptable to not disclose that I do not understand. I got irrelevant 'its an old car' spiel. Typical used car salesman, I guess. To be fair the car drove ok. Upon further inspection, it was clear the oil under the filler on the rocker cover was emulsifying profusely. Classic sign of cylinder head gasket failure (he blamed moisture - don't believe him!). He said he would 'get it checked' on Monday. By 11am Monday he was on the phone telling me the car was fine but told me not to bother and look elsewhere. So the car is still there, still for sale. No doubt he will wipe the oil cap clean before some poor soul buys it to end up with a load of grief and expense. Good cars are out there - we brought an immaculate 03 Getz with 18K miles and one owner for £2000 - just not at Martyn's Car Sales. Martyn has no morals and no honesty. Avoid at all cost.

"BEWARE OF MARTYNS CARS "

We paid way over the odds for a Hyundai which broke down as soon as it was driven on the motorway. MARTYN'S CARS should not be allowed to sell cars with life-endangering faults. Worst of all, he didn't pass on the correct paperwork, so I'm being plagued by the DVLA, in spite of having sold the car. MARTYN, THIS IS YOUR KARMA CATCHING UP WITH YOU. As a fellow reviewer stated: he does pick on the vulnerable. I don't know how he sleeps at night.

I arrived from France to test drive 2 cars that had been recomended after explaining over the phone to Martyn what I was looking for. Martyn and his team were welcoming, helpful and informative. The cars that were presented were exactly how they had been explained, in tiptop condition. I would highly recommend for reliability and honesty. Excellent service from Martyns Car Sales.

Arrived on Saturday morning having travelled down from Scotland the night before. Previously I had emailed Martyn to provide more photos of the car I was interested in, which he provided. I was not disappointed in any way. There was no pressure from Martyns Car Sales to buy and we had a long chat on our road test. The deal was done within the hour and we headed off. Martyn has a lot of interesting cars in his yard and if we had time, I could have spent a few more hours there. I would happily travel down from Scotland again to buy another car from Martyn.

If he didn't have the car I was interested in, i doubt I would have called in, not an inspiring Car Sales location. However, once I had met and chatted to Martyn I was more than happy to deal with him. Although he is never lost for words, there was no bull...t and was very fair and honest. Certainly no pressure to buy and left you on your own to look after the car. A deal was struck, the car collected a few days later, 300 miles and a couple of weeks later I have no hesitaion in recommending a purchase from Martyns Car Sales.

My wife and I had visited Martyn's Car sales and were very impressed with his knowledge, experience and professional manner. Even though we did not buy a car from him, his advice for us when we bought a vehicle elsewhere was really helpful and went above and beyond the call of duty. I would highly recommend Martyn as he is an honest and professional man with a wealth of experience. Truly great service 10/10.
