I purchased a Nissan Juke off Taylors Pitstop in May and the very next day the clutch decided to pack up on me miles from my home. Eventually the AA took the car back to Horley who then apparently repaired the said clutch. 20 days later, again miles from my home, the clutch burnt out and once again the AA returned the car to Horley for repair. However this time Pitstop refused to repair the vehicle claiming the burnt out clutch was caused by the driver i.e. myself. Obviously, I was not too pleased with this response, as I have been driving all sorts of vehicles for over 50 years and never had a clutch burn out on me. Upon further investigation it transpired that on the first clutch repair, the Company had not replaced the fly wheel which is recommended, so I did have a case for them to answer under the warranty or to reject the car. And was advised to take legal action by the Solicitors. The Company then told me they wanted £925.00 to fix the car plus they decided they were going to charge me storage of £30 per day plus vat. I wanted the situation resolved so I offered to sell them back the vehicle at a greatly reduced price which they agreed to, they then sold the car within a week for £2100 more. Obviously due to all the above I could not possibly recommend purchasing a car off this Company.

I bought my VW Polo in August. So far, I have only had a minor issue with this car and it was sorted. Paul and Stewart have been very helpful. Thank you very much.

We have been with Taylor’s Pitstop Garage since 2010 and have always received excellent customer service. However it is a pleasure to find that Stewart is back managing the Service desk. Stewart is always professional, patient, informative and welcoming. He is a credit to Taylor’s Pitstop. In fact we would go as far as to say that from the sales staff to the garage staff Taylor’s Pitstop ticks all the boxes.

If you're looking for a new or used car, I would recommend that you look no further than Taylor Pitstop in Crawley. I was dealing with Marcus who was very experienced and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly and helpful staff. Happy workplace means happy customers. And I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you all at Taylor Pitstop

I got a mini countryman, within three days the steering whell got jammed, when I called, they said its a normal issue, it will correct itself, keep driving. then the timing chain broke, then the break started giving noise. the vehicle basically ran for less than 1000 miles. when returned they slashed the price for buying it back. reducing almost 4000 pounds. Warning you not to go here, they are even reluctant to pick my phone calls now. I hope they lose more money somewhere else or even shut the business down instead of scamming innocent people.

I went to look at a certain car and decided eventually in another totally different one! The salesman Joe was the best I’ve ever encountered ( and I’ve seen a few over the years!) I would recommend him and Taylor’s 100%

Interested in taking your money and then nothing else, worthless warranties and don`t be fooled by their Gap insurance offer, 3 x more expensive than you can buy yourself on line. Bought car for £8000 , add horrible engine noise that got worse during first 10 days, they did agree for me to take to a Bosch service center due to where i lived, Bosch center replace faulty bearing , only came to £248 , Pitstop said warranty will only pay £114 and as a help they will pay £30 , leaving me to pay £98. Pitstop comment : wew would not have fitted an original Ford part , therefore it would have been cheaper if we done the repair ! REALLY !

Timothy H Beer from Taylors Pitstop in response to Avoid !!!

We feel the correct information should vbe published on here regarding this customers complaint . The vehicle was purchased from us as stated , a few days after the delivery the vehicle engine developed a noise . The customer was in Redhill and declined the offer of bringing the vehicle back to Taylor-Pitstop, so we could diagnose and repair the fault . due to the fact he would have to drive 8 miles to us from Redhill . We suggested that to get the issue diagnosed quickly he take the vehicle to a Bosch service centre in Redhill closer to him , we advised the customer to get the issue looked at and ask the Bosch service centre to call us with the costs of the repair , so we could get authorisation to carry on . The customer when advised of the problem by the inspecting Bosch garage then chose to ignore this advise , and told the Bosch garage to carry out the repair, Taylors-Pitstop will pay for it , its under warranty . However the cost from the Bosch garage was well in excess of what we as a dealer could mend it for , So we paid the customer the cost of the repair at our labour rate etc plus parts . Had the customer done what we asked him and returned the vehicle to us as required instead of self authorising the repair as he did , we could have avoided all this and an unnecessary negative review . We accept the customer had a small drive belt issue and we are always here to help . .

I agree. they said the same to me. to take to bosch repair for my timing chain issue. but would only pay 250 for the repair. not to forget, the car was only within 1 and half month since I got it. they only decorate the car to look nice, inside is all crap pieces they sell. NOT RECOMMENDED at all.

From the beginning to the end of this deal Joe was absolutely brilliant. Everything was explained in full to me as we went along - if I did not understand anything Joe was always available to explain it again.. From the viewing of the car to the pick up of the car was exceptionally easy. There was even a beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for me when I collected the car - nice touch. Thank you Joe for a first class service. Would definitely use Pitstop again.

I nearly bought a blue mini cooper SD convertible ,from Taylor pitstop ,but had the sence toget the AA to firstly inspect the vehicle, there report started with A red cross with the words this car is not fit for Sale.withthis in mind I canx and requested my deposit back,they refused Nov 2019 Colin sharpe

Timothy H Beer from Taylors Pitstop in response to The car was not fit for sale

The vehicle was sold prior to our extensive 76 point check , and the report never once mentioned it was not fit for sale . Interestingly when we asked the customer for a copy of the report , they declined to send us a copy , We would agree that the 'air conditioning ' temperature was not up to the level we would accept , however after the gas was replaced and the unit serviced it was very cold. .We realise we sometimes we do not meet everyones high standards and on this one occasion we should have completed our 76 point check and service before the vehicle was inspected . The good news is that it was sold to a lovely couple who are delighted with it , so a happy ending .

My BMW was showing several warning lights so needed to be diagnosed and fixed ASAP. Excellent customer service and a very quick repair service. Cost a bit of money but needed to be done. Thank you Nigel & Stuart you looked after me and I appreciate it.
