Charlie and Shane are running a Scam, they are selling defective cars, Charlie is full or Arrogance and have a pathetic attitude so does Shane both are compulsive liars and dishonest and untrustworthy. I waited months before I got the car and till date I have not been informed about the problem of the car or the work that was carried out, don’t waste your precious time and hard earned money go and spend it somewhere else.

If you wanted a decent car and reliable I wouldn’t buy at river side car sales. They don’t care about the cars, they would rather it sorted quickly than properly. The staff members are all rude especially the boss rob who thinks he’s above everyone but in reality just arrogant . All the staff just spend all day on their phones and if you have any problems with the cars they just don’t care. Definitely don’t buy from here, look at reviews online and you will see 70% at below 2 stars

Worked at riverside till recently very bad company where the owner has told me him self they buy uncategorised crashed vehicles fix them and sell them off the forecourt as if they haven’t been crashed they spray old carpets instead of cleaning them they over sell finance even if you can afford the car as they earn more commission on it the garage doesn’t actually mot the cars they just sit outside and say they have had a mot they are the harry wormwood of garages in burton as someone who has seen everything that happens there I advise people to steer clear of this place they have one thing on there mind and that’s money they don’t care if you have kids they will rip anyone off

Warning if you’re looking at buying a car!! We visited riverside car sales and were happy with the service we received at the start. We picked up our car on the 18th June and the customer service from Eddie was great. We brought the £300 service and MOT package with our car as we thought this seemed like a good deal. On the Sunday we noticed a rattling sound coming from the left front side. I rang the garage on the Monday and they got us in at their service department for it to be looked at. The service team told me the shock absorber was broken and needed replacing. I picked the car up the following day and noticed that the knocking was still there so I rang back and told them and again I was booked in. I was told my car needed more work doing to it now and the work was done. I told the service team I had lost confidence in them due to it having an MOT with no advisories the Thursday before collection. I rang and spoke to somebody from the sales team and expressed my concern as they had the car 3 times and there were still issues therefore I wanted a refund on the service and warranty package. I was told he would have to speak to his director about this as it was a none refundable product. Fast forward to picking my car up on Friday night from the sales team, I was greeted by Rob and Shane. Shane showed me a sheet with the work that had been done ( as I requested). I asked if this should not have been picked up on an MOT or as an advisory as previous cars I’ve had mot’d have had shock absorbers on here. Rob came over and asked me if I realised that an MOT was the most basic check on a car and didn’t mean a car was roadworthy or safe…. So I asked if that meant he didn’t care if his cars were road worthy or safe then. He was quite aggressive in his reply telling me how offensive I was and that I had already upset all of his service staff by saying I had lost my confidence in them. When I tried to respond he shouted ‘ did you say you’d lost confidence Yes or no’? He said this twice as I tried to respond but wouldn’t let me speak until I had said no. I said that actually I had lost confidence and I think that’s quite right following the issues. He told me a normal person wouldn’t say that and they’d ring back and say it wasn’t quite right… I asked again for a refund on the service and MOT plan I had purchase. I was told this is not refundable. I said to be honest then I think I want to refund the whole thing as the experience hasn’t been great and I’m within my 14 days and actually because I’m a women you’re talking down to me. Shane they responded saying I was so offensive for calling them sexist. Rob told me to get out of his car garage and that I was not allowed to return there. I said if I’m not allowed to return then how am I supposed to use the service plan so I want refund and he just kept shouting get out and leave the courtesy car key in the car and don’t come back. I felt very intimidated as they started walking towards me shouting so I left. The next day my father in law returned and miraculously I ended up being refunded the money. So clearly sexist and thought they could get away with ganging up on a pregnant women. Disgusting service!

DONT BUY A CAR FROM HERE!!!!!! The car I bought was a death trap. I’d only just left the garage and the engine warning light came o and it was pulling heavily to the right hand side. I spoke with the garage and they said to get it diagnosed at a garage nearer my home. When I took it to a garage, the mechanic couldn’t diagnose the issue, BUT he did see that the entire near side had recently been repaired. It looked like it had taken a big impact. When I asked the garage if this was true, they said no. They had done a service, mot and extensive check on the entire vehicle!!! It’s a shame that all these experts didn’t see the masking tape that had been left covering the key hole on the passenger door that had been sprayed over in the same colour as the car😳 I, again asked them about this and they denied any work had taken place!!!! Stating they’re not cowboys!!! No just liars. I’ve since taken the vehicle back, but I’m still waiting for me money back!! £8500 is owed to me, but because the boss in an annual leave. I have to wait!!! Absolute joke of a company. Please be warned. Don’t trust them.

"DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY"

DO NOT PURCHASE A CAR FROM THIS COMPANY!! My client purchased a car in May which like many other people (see below terrible reviews) the car soon started to show major issues not long after taking it home. The first time he took the car back to the garage he was sent off due to not finding an issue with the car this was a 140 mile trip just to be fobbed off. The second time he called up because the problems worsened riverside car sales made him pay for half of the repairs (legally under the consumer rights act repairs should be paid fully by the garage in first 6 months) this was again a 140 mile round trip. Riverside car sales refused to pay back this money which legally my client should not have paid, they said that because he paid riverside car servicing for the repair it has nothing to do with them! (Even though a quick companies house search proves they are both owned by the same man) My client is a croatian man who does not speak or write very good English, he was unaware of his rights and I believe this is why they charged him for repairs. He wanted me to write this review on his behalf because riverside car sales have stopped responding to his emails. After repairs, the car has failed again. Currently in the process of contacting the finance company to see what they can do,  also making a complaint to trading standards regarding the money they refuse to give back for repairs. For anyone that has problems with their cars within the first 30 days you are entitled to a full refund (Consumer rights act 2015) From 30 days to 6 months the garage should be given 1 chance to repair car then if that fails you are entitled to reject the car although the garage will charge you 0.46 for every mile driven since you took ownership.

RCS from Riverside Car Sales in response to DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

As you use the car as a TAXI and have done 1000's of miles in the car we will not cover it for free as it is used in a commercial Manor and you did not tell us. we will only help you if you pay.
