My father reserved a car for me but didnt realise it was 160 miles away. I called the garage to let them know I couldn't get there to collect it as I wa told it was in Tauton it was 1.30pm I had to be there by 4pm and its a 4 hour journey one way. The sales man was extremely rude stating that my father bouther me a car and i was ungrateful for not putting myself out to go and get. He complained they had got the car ready for nothing, I presume they would have to get the car ready to sell anyway. How dare he speak to me like this, totally unacceptable he knows nothing about my circumstances and berates me for not wanting to do a 4 hour round trip. Do not engage with this company!!!!!!!
Bought a car which was slightly over priced but my choice. I was cohersed to purchase the extra warranty which was a con, nothing was properly explained rushed through due to Covid apparently. Called with a problem yep basically was taken for a ride. Con merchants
THIS MAN HAS BEEN CONVICTED IN THE PAST... HE'S TAKEN A DEPOSIT OF £500 AND REFUSED TO MEET ME WHEN IS CONVENIENT TO ME... HE'S RE LISTED THE CAR ON EBAY AND REFUSED TO PAY ME MY MONEY.. TRADING STANDARDS WARWICKSHIRE COUNCIL ARE NOW INVOLVED AND THE FRAUD TEAM.... SCAM... CON MAN

When I collected my Range Rover I was told it had been checked out by their specialist Range Rover garage in Leamington spa and confirmed it was good to go, 2 days latter I took the car to my garage to have a service as there was no service history with it, I had call from my garage telling me you have a problem all the tyres are illegal the off side LED brake light not working, body to axcal bolts are missing, the 2 front brushes perished and prop shaft central bearing perished, the car was not road worthy, I informed the car company straight away and the after service guy was rude very rude but it was agreed the car would be recalled and all the above would be recited, they would call me with a date, after many calls and emails to them since I have had no response, in fact the only email have have received from this outfit was day one asking for my deposit, I am now going Legal to recover my costs, I only wished I had reviewed the reviews before purchasing, I have paid £500 for a warranty that’s totally worthless, these people are untrustworthy and should be avoid at all costs, it’s cost me over £2k to but my vehicle right and road legal, please please please stay away from this cowboy outfit

I am really happy with the service and the welcome on arrival make me feel welcome and offered me a drink as I arrived can't fault them for there services and the bloke I dealt with was Pete
Just got back from a horrible experience with this most unpleasant operation. The car we bought was immediately faulty – BMW 3 series reg NK59GXC – probably best avoided. We almost ran out of time to seek a refund (30 days – if you have a problem immediately look at Citizens Advice online which gives very good guidance against horror companies like this) as the company gave us the runaround. As with other negative reviewers, the company don’t return calls or emails and so I did not trust them to return my money. I can vouch that the abuse the company dish out online is matched in person. I had two of them shouting at me – but only when I was on my own and after a couple of customers had left. I even considered calling the local police just as a way of getting them to back off – it would have been an overreaction as they were just trying to intimidate and were probably unlikely to be violent. Perhaps it would be wise not to be alone on such a visit. I refused to hand over the documents until I had received the refund into my account. I was informed this was done and asked again to hand over the docs. On checking, no funds had arrived – ‘apparently’ the transfer did not go through due to security checks by their bank. 15 minutes later, the money had arrived, and I left, relieved to be away from such hostility. Remember: Pete’s role is to give lots of technical info designed to make you think a problem is being tackled, but the real aim is to get you past the refund rights you have during the first 30 days. Adam’s role is to abuse anyone who has a complaint and he will use confidential information about you such as your credit rating (see negative review of Michael Benfield-Thorpe), fortunately did not use finance. Mandy, the receptionist, appears nice and presents a pleasant front of house, but maybe that is misleading because I cannot see how nice people would continue to work for a firm that is so openly and consistently abusive to customers with any form of complaint.

Adam from The Car Company in response to Untrustworthy and hostile: avoid
Hi Mark, I wish I had seen this sooner as I would most certainly have responded. You did, indeed, purchase an 11 year old BMW 3 Series from ourselves and it was truly a nightmare experience for us. Perhaps we should have seen the warnings signs when you elected to walk around our showroom barefoot, or when you advised Pete your wife has to handle 'the public' at your petting zoo because you 'can't stand them'. In any case, the car did develop a fault and it was returned to us for diagnostics. You attempted to call us around 3 pm on a busy Friday afternoon and everyone, myself included, was dealing with a customer. Your 5 back to back calls went un-answered, however a time stamped entry on our customer database shows a note on your entry, which was assigned to Pete to contact you when free. Sadly, he never got the opportunity as you then felt the need to call repeatedly from a withheld number until I answered the phone. After our chat, which was most unpleasant as your attitude stinks, you posted up reviews on just about every social media site going. We quickly realised you are not someone we want to deal with and offered a full refund. When you came in for your refund you acted like a petulant child, dangling the key and v5 in-front of me but wouldn't hand either of them over. Rightly so, I told to get out of the office and come back when you'd grown up a bit. I think your comment to Pete could more accurately be described as 'my wife deals with customers as I have zero people skills'. Of course, it soon dawned on you that to get a refund you would need to hand over the paperwork and the keys. The refund was processed and, after a slightly inconvenient call to the Barclays aaçnti-fraud team, funds were in your account before you left the building. I genuinely hope there aren't any issues with future purchases, as no garage deserves to deal with individuals as rude and obnoxious as you.
All I can say is if u have to deal with someone make sure it's somebody who will have the decense to phone u back to tell u if I deal can be done I was waiting for a call for 2 days not good enough and never got one

Adam in response to Poor communication
Seems legit!
Having previously bought from Leamington Car Company, I thought we would look here for a new car for my husband. We were greeted at the door by Nyall and had a discussion of what we were looking for. For an independent car company, there is a good range of cars and we were able to look, test drive and buy the car all in the same day! Nyall was fairly straight talking with not too much sales patter (something we hate!). On choosing my husband’s car, I then mentioned I would need to change mine soon due to having a young baby. I was shown cars within my price range and they worked really hard to get the best finance deal that suited my budget. They also let me test drive the car for over 3 hours which gave me a really good idea of it’s suitability. Both cars came with a warranty, recent MOT and were spick and span. AND we got an even better deal buying two cars. I was most impressed that they remembered me from years ago and they certainly do reward customer loyalty! I was impressed by their customer service also; I’m a person who always has a million questions and they answered all of these very satisfactorily for me. Pete was also very helpful on the more mechanical and logistical questions about the cars. Overall- very professional customer service but friendly and down to earth, very fair prices and a very smooth process. I was dreading buying a car to be honest but The Car Company Leamington made it very enjoyable!
Very good team at The Car Company, thanks Nyall for everything mate.
