I live over 100 miles away. Saw a car I wanted to purchase and gave £200 deposit and was due to come over later in the week hopefully to pick it up. Unfortunately due to a major personal problem, I was unable to go. Thinking my deposit was refundable I asked for it to be refunded. This was absolutely refused. They had only had it for 3 days. Disgusting !!

Hi Keith, thanks for the review. As we told you at the time when you left the deposit it is refundable if you come to view the car and there are any issues. It is not refundable if you just change your mind, as once the deposit is taken we then lose the opportunity to sell it and we incur costs getting the car ready for you. I suggest next time you leave a deposit on a car you are actually serious about purchasing it and not just doing it on a whim. It is not fair to waste business' time or money.

Paid a 'fully refundable' £200 deposit to The Motoring Centre, four days later this became a non refundable deposit because they had to MOT the car, I imagine that lots of people buy four year old cars without an MOT......avoid

Hi Dean, as we tell every customer the deposit is refundable if you come to view the car and there are any issues. It is not refundable if you just change your mind as we incur costs and lose the opportunity to sell it once the deposit is taken. We MOT all out cars prior to purchase. Next time you put a deposit on something please realise you have entered into an agreement it is not fair to waste business' time or money.

Brought a Freelander from Marc at The Motoring Centre, hassle free. Didn’t sit on your shoulder whilst you looked at the vehicle. Had the car serviced and provided with 12 MoT. Even had the advisory notices replaced (new tyres) would certainly buy a car from them again.

I am super happy with my Chevrolet from The Motoring Centre. I bought it back in August and up to now I have only had one small issue which the dealership sorted straight away. It was clean and in great condition and the dealers have gone above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. I would 100 percent recommend this dealership to anyone.

I did experience a few problems with the car I purchased, but they were resolved in the end, if the job was done properly in the first place I wouldnt of had any problems, it was sorted after about 3 weeks. Although I had some problems I wouldnt say they are terrible, but I also wouldnt give them 5 stars, 3 out of 5 from me.

They were excellent at the Motoring Centre Leamington Spa, very efficient springs to mind. There was a little problem with the car that myself and my husband had noticed, im very particular on some things, as a result of this the motoring centre paid our taxi for us for 6 months as it wasnt taxed. Really nice touch we thought.
