"DON'T DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY "

The boss Rob is totally inhumane, arrogant and thrives on your frustration when telling you he is keeping your £500 deposit. They knew we had uncertainties about a car we viewed but assured us we could leave a deposit of £500 and if it wasn't right would get this back. After leaving them late afternoon and after further consideration we contacted them early the following morning and thanked them for their time but stayed we had changed our mind and wanted our deposit back. That's when Rob delighted in telling us that we couldn't have it and he wouldn't budge from this position but delighted in telling us there was nothing we could do. It was evident this was a well practiced formula of getting people to leave deposits and then ripping them off. I'm just glad we didn't get the car cause who knows what could have happened. Don't trust them.

Don't make the mistake of leaving any deposit on any car expect to be dealt with contempt and rudeness from the Manager Rob ,the worst person I've ever dealt with in my life. I lost my deposit 500 pounds after leaving the dealership the previous evening. I called them before 9 the next morning to explain a change of heart initially told send through my card details. In the afternoon Rob told me I'd broke the contract ,that the car was back on sale and I wasn't getting a penny back .I offered to pay the salesmans fee of 250 but that wasn't good enough he wanted it all .He even suggested I owed for the labour and cost of the MOT . AVOiD .

This company has kept my £500 deposit. Nothing on their website says it is non refundable. Apparently they use a company to deal with deposits and again nothing on their website about non refundable. I shall of course be taking them to court

Diane Walker in response to Theft

Did exactly the same to me, do not know how they get away with it. The car I viewed needed a new clutch salesman disagreed even though my husband is a expert technician. They agreed to check it out. We took it for a test drive it conked out. We had to push it off the road and walk back to the show room. We then said we no longer wanted the car as had lost confidence in the car and company. Have spoken to Charlie today the owner 13/5/25- Who has stated that the car did break down but as I chose not to go ahead with the purchase he has kept my deposit. This is stealing as he has no right to that money. Why would anyone go ahead and purchase a car after that fiasco. They told me it was up to the company that takes the deposit, but the company will refund you if CHARLIE authorises it but he won't. We had this for months. Please avoid this awful dealer as he gives the good ones a bad name. No excuse for keeping peoples hard earned cash!!!

Mr M A Green in response to Theft

Happened to me ,I made the mistake of putting the deposit down late afternoon nr 5pm at their premises drove home and contacted them before 9a.m the next day told to send my bank details .Whilst it stated deposits were non refundable which I missed on the agreement, I wasn't prepared for the arrogant rude phone call I received from the manager Rob in the afternoon. Told me "well you had the big boys pants on and signed it ". At this point it was clear he was enjoying the fact he'd got 500 quid for nothing. I offered to pay 250 quid for the 2hrs of salesmans time he reckoned we'd used. Rob rejected this flatly and said who was paying for the M.O.T The most uncaring uncivil person I have ever dealt with seemed to revel in our misfortune .Totally disgusting practices.

I had a car off Charlie and co,it was out of the 3 months warranty on a 2017 Renault Mégane hatchback,and the timing chain cover developed a leak, Charlie and his father went above and beyond to fix the problem,and it cost me half what any other garage was going to charge,10 out of 10 for the customer service and their mechanics for fixing the fault.

Nothing but a positive experience here. From my test drive to purchase, I’ve been super happy. High level of communication, super helpful staff- shout out to Shane who was helpful throughout- and a car I feel safe in. Thanks all at Riverside!

Fake and fraud advertising of priority service which they don't acknowledge. Arrogant ,threatening, asking to remove poor review - expecting 5 🌟 for pathetic and poor service. Car costed me 10k + 1200 for warranty and <6months single battery change episode at their service left me with 1000£ expense with no car for 2 weeks for a fault which the caused.

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.
