I live in USA, and Paul took advantage of me and sold me faulty defender with no MOT since 2015 (he claimed that Mot was up to date). The truck had not brakes, missing ALL seatbets, missing spare tire (spare tire was present at the time of purchase, bad radiator, bad transmission, bad paint work, tons of electrical issues. He also installed wrongfully some led spots light . Do not buy from Paul . Tons of bad reviews from his previous businesses he owed. Dont do business with Paul he is liar,, and cannot be trusted.

Simms & Taylor doesn't care about people's safety one bit he ripped me and my partner off for £1200 all he's interested in is money sold us a car that apparently had 12 months mot and was having a starter motor fitted before we collected. We got about 4 days out of the car before the starter motor went and a massive diesel leak he sold us this unsafe car with a 2 month old child the and we very nearly had a serious crash with a lorry as the car cut out doing 60mph on a dual carriageway...I hope karma bites you.

Bought a van from Simms & Taylor mid April travelling down from fife Scotland,van looked ok in pics so decided to go for it,First impression was couple of more dents than the pics and described,took it for test drive felt straight away that the brakes need done,manger Paul said yeah came up on mot they will need done in the nxt few months🤥 Needed done now but thought not the end of the world some brake pads,drove it home great van felt good well did for first month and a half then funny noises coming from engine,thought it was heat shield on exhaust got it checked nothing,But on fri there it went into limp mode,never a good thing,2 garages later and a auto spark still nothing but Renault diagnosis is the turbo is gone 😡😡😡that's the turbo,4new tyres,front and back brake pads what a joke 3 month warranty just ran out,try and contact them shock thereby have stopped trading, no phone no email no website 😂😂😂😂absolute joke

Bought a car from Simms & Taylor over 4 month ago and it's still broken, over £800 we have had to pay on the back brakes, calliper, abs brakes it's a joke.

Bought a car 2nd march 2017, and to date I have actually had possession of it for 29 days ... they have had it the rest of time. Fobbed me off big time told me they have put new engine in car but they haven't and now they have ceased trading... I presume waiting a few weeks then will open up under a new name!! I have 2 small boys and they gave me the car back this time with no power in it and a cracked windscreen and no bottom seal so highly illegal and dangerous. and its still not fixed. So if they re-open and paul simms is there AVOID or you are wasting your money

Please avoid buying Simms & Taylor garage! I read reviews before I purchased the car and just thought some people being fussy!, WRONG within 5 months of buying a car from them turbo gone again after they said they fixed it twice ! Bodged up I've also informed authorities about the mot centre they use no way they pass legally, my back box fell of within 3 months now my car is at a local garage as it broke down as the car is burning and leaking oil there is also a fuel leak it's not even about the money it's about putting my children in danger! Its disgusting how they get away with it !! There are numerous problems with the cars these clearly buy them at auction and bodge them up.

This is an add on from the Peugeot 407 I never received my money from Paul Simms who wanted me to call to his garage to collect it so he could discuss my review he had every chance to speak to me when I went up to collect the £50. I would love to show all the emails on here, he has my bank details and Abby told me it would be paid yesterday I did phone but they didn't answer my call. I don't know if they have caller display, But they are not going to pay me for a faulty car I bought from them and had to go to a diesel specialist to fix the car as their mechanic couldn't. I wish I would of took note of the comments on here before I purchased this vehicle. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS ME BE WARNED I can't stress this enough if I can save one person from these people I would be pleased. I don't want the money now they can keep it. not nice people believe me lovely when taking your cash lol.

I bought a Peugeot 407 2009 Reg from Simms & Taylor for £1,795 plus £99 to MOT just over a month ago and also paid £300 for cam belt and water pump an service I also paid £30 for two second hand rear head rests as they were marked apparently it passed its MOT with no advisory's yet the LCD control panel needed replacing the window control panel needed replacing to which cost me £156 but they did fit the LCD control panel with no charge also the car has some body damage which I was fully aware of which is costing me £580. I took the car back two days after I bought it as it would not drive smooth at 30 mph the legal speed limit it had a hesitation they replaced the EGR valve but the problem was sill the same. I took it back 3 times within a month they had the car for days at a time yet they told me the engine was to small for the car they told me it was a manufacturer fault lol. I took the car to a diesel mechanic in Kirkby industrial Est who had the car half a day and told me the EGR valve was faulty and the OEM a Vac valve needed replacing he could see the EGR valve was new but it was faulty. I had to pay for this work to be done and I agreed if they paid for the parts I would pay for the labour which cost me another £100 but had take the VAT receipt to Simms and Taylor and the EGR valve they had put on which I did the cost for the parts was £169 they gave me £50 cash, They have told me they need to check the valve is faulty before they refund me the other £119 the car runs fine as it should now I called today for my £119 but Emma who I am dealing with because Paul ignores my emails now was out on a test drive and Abby said she would get her to call me back before close of business but she did not. Hopefully she will call back tomorrow and transfer the cash that they owe me that's all I want as I am overdrawn in my bank account due to having to pay upfront for the repairs. Emma is absolutely lovely to be honest and her customer service is great but having told them my financial situation I am disappointed to say the least, this has been quite an expensive car when I've added the cost up for a car with 101000 miles on the clock. had they of refunded mu cash like they said they would on the day this would of been a very different review.
