Bought a people carrier from central cars. I work down the road and drive past there every day. Full of nice cars so thought we were going to be dealing with a reputable company. We wasn't. When we first bought the car everything was fine. There was a few little problems that Gary fixed. After getting the car back we found only a few problems were fixed. Then the gear box kept on messing up, not changing gear, drinking diesel and making the car die as it was revving so high. So Gary came and picked the car up. Gave us a courtesy car, which was a matiz. You could fit this car in the one we had bought. Gary dropped the car off and Said he couldn't find a fault. 2 days later It started doing it again. 7-8 more times the car was picked up and dropped off. Still the fault occurred. Gary said "I've cleaned the fuel filter again" I'm no mechanic but if you have to clean a fuel filter 7-8 times, there's a problem before the filter. When we told Gary that it kept dying and with young babies screaming cause the car wouldn't start. Gary said to the Mrs. Buy some ear plugs. That'll sort the problem out. After this going on for a few months, We asked them to buy the car back off us. We paid £5500 for it, 4 months later we were offered £2500. So we went down the route of the finance company who were very helpful and were on our side. After 13 months we finally washed out hands of this car and got £3500. I know we've lost a lot in a year but to wash my hands of that piece of crap was better than nothing. 5 days of handing it back to him it up on the forecourt again. I feel for the next customer to buy it. Wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. I know cars are pot luck when buying and selling, but they customer service was horrendous
