Communicated over several months with Kristian at Specialist Cars York re our search for a very particular Mercedes W124 & had a great, enthusiast, informative experience on each occasion. Ultimately our perfect Japanese Import 280E (& yes they are every bit as good as Kristian says) came to us via a private seller. Nonetheless, the response when I called to advise "search over" was one of congratulations & interest. Will be staying in touch for parts purchases & W124 resources as Kristian clearly knows his stuff & then some on these cars! Thanks again for the excellent advice & help, which thus far hasn't cost us a penny!!

Best wishes from myself and the team at SC, and congratulations again on choosing to opt for an Ex Japan Classic Mercedes.
Bought the car from Specialist Cars York, transferred cash, the vehicle was not as described, not of merchantable quality or fit for purpose. Vehicle later inspected by independent company. faults found and rectified accordingly. In questioning the owner whom I know to be Kristian, very good with the sales patter and very personable, but I found to be untrustworthy and argumentative in relation to questions about the vehicles condition. To future potential buyers remember the latin "caveat emptor" or "let the buyer beware". If you persist with hard questioning(Which you should not need to do) you will get your money back, like I have noticed fellow reviewers have done. Do your homework about the company and particularly before making cash transfers. Went on holiday and had no end of problems with the vehicle, which ruined my wifes holiday as the vehicle developed a cooling system fault, which led to us curtailing our vacation. My wife was very upset so I contacted Mr G about the problems with the vehicle and instead of being helpful, as he should be since I am the customer, found him instead to be resistant to having repairs done on the vehicle at my own expense and then having to argue with Mr G later on to get compensation for repairs (I am a fully qualified Motor Vehicle Technician) made to my vehicle bought from Mr G. I eventually was compensated by Mr Geldard, but having gone through this experience I would never buy or recommend this company to my friends or family which is a great shame. No customer should ever have to have protracted dealings with a seller, the sale of the vehicle was smooth enough, however after-sales customer service was very poor indeed. BBC Watchdog and Rogue Traders, Trading Standards should investigate the dealings and complaints from the buyers who have dealt with this company. Enough said!

As well as selling cars, which for the avoidance of any doubt are high quality as anyone with experience of us will be familiar with and is welcome to confirm in person at our facilities here, the cars we sell come with a detailed warranty cover, and in addition 2 full years and 24,000 miles after sales service and maintenance plan, with labour at £39.00 per hour if required, unlimited free technical advice from people who know the makes and models they sell intimately, and more importantly parts at cost which can be dispatched in many cases within 24 hrs to most UK destinations, or if overseas a little while longer. This package has been very specifically designed so that we can protect our customers from been over charged for work or led down the wrong path in relation to a required action, costs, and parts involved in rectifying a fault that may develop (this can and does cause friction with some repairers and too rightly so as their customer then becomes quickly educated in what is involved and the cost they should expect to pay, not what they were been told was involved and about to pay before contacting us pre repair!) Regardless of this been on tap, based on his “very special long term relationship” with his chosen repairer, this particular customer in question here seemed to be blinded by what his repairing garage told him, regardless of the actual condition of a vehicle, time taken to repair a simple fault and costs and easy availability of any parts required. When you are dealing with a customer that a) won`t let you assist with a repair, b) won`t listen to factual, correct information relating to a repair c) even research a repair procedure, or parts costs himself, or d) at least even get a second opinion after advising him, they are difficult to help, he sadly only has himself to blame if he gets over charged and pays to have work carried out that does not need doing, he without doubt should look a little closer to home, and practice what he preaches above "caveat emptor" or "let the buyer beware".

We have already made complaints about Kristian and his ways to Trading Standards, they are fully aware but the more people who complain the better!
Good price good product and a high standard of customer care. Specialist Cars of York is a gem of a business.

Been looking or a ww2 jeep for a while, after getting into the scene, looked at a few in the south and not up to much... the ones this company sell blew me away, they are a little more money, but i am going to wait 8 months more till i have saved the extra money and buy from the best.. Christian was spent lots of time showing me a few and his expertise is commendable and very correct..

I bought a 2000 P38 just over a year ago. I have spent thousands fixing faults with this car. These faults haven't just appeared, they were there when I bought the car but I'm not mechanically minded. The car actually broke down when it was delivered due to a dead battery. Since then I've found: air suspension broke, heated seats don't work, heater doesn't work, water in the passenger footwell. It was advertised as "collector quality", I certainly won't be collecting any more cars from Kristian. I'm sure Kristian will refute everything I've said but do yourself a favour if you're like me, get thee car checked by the AA or RAC, it'll save you money in the long run.
Staff from Specialist Cars York in response to Dodgy dealer
Very disappointed with this review!!, All Classic and P38 range rover are supplied with a new replacement Yuassa heavy duty battery as a matter of course, so battery’s do not cause a problem, these batteries (probably better then the original manufacturer fit) are top quality and also backed up with a long nationwide warranty, These days we are selling several P38`s every month both in the UK and overseas, the cars as people know are prepared to a high standard as standard, and despite age in some cases of the earlier cars now some 20+ years of age, are backed up with a:- 3 months parts and labour warranty, b:- 2 years/24,000 mile after sale service plan, which entitles buyers to parts at cost which can be delivered in most cases within 24 hrs (UK deliveries), and labour on site here @ £39.00 per hour, we also have a workshop offering free technical advice, just a simple phone call or e-mail away, so in essence problems if any should be few and far between, and if so incur nominal cost. We are at a total loss to why any customer would not take advantage of all or even some aspects of this package when supplied with their vehicle for absolutely free, Any issue reported to us is dealt with quickly and efficiently, we invite this poster whose issues are news to us to please contact us at their convenience.
I purchased a lovely bike from this company. From the outset Kristain could not have been more helpful and attentive to customer concerns. The bike is actually better than described. They went the extra mile and adapted the bike to my needs. We're very careful with delivery ensuring the bike got to me in the best possible condition. This company is customer focused and takes clear pride in their service. Thanks Kristian, I would not hesitate to buy from you again.
