5* Guys, Amazing!

Amazing, Quick Delivery! I ordered the AA 02 Pando Moto Bodysuit and it came within a couple of days and the fit is perfect! I wear a 10/12 and the Small fits perfect, it’s rare you find flattering gear for women so this was a nice surprise! 😅
When I sent an email query it was replied to within a matter of hours! (Thank you Jamie!)

So glad I found this place

So glad I found this place. Many thanks to John who helped my husband and I get the correct fitting helmets for us, rather than us getting ones we liked that felt comfy. This mans knowledge has probably saved lives
Thankyou so much for your help and time. Cant recommend highly enough.

Brilliant Customer Service

I was struggling to find some replacement Dane motorcycle trousers as no one seems to sell them now. Enter Moto Central... I dealt with Jamie who quickly confirmed that they could special order what I wanted and within a week and a bit, they were with me. Refreshing to receive such good service!

Great customer service.

Ordered a nice DMD helmet at a great price. The order was delayed a little but Jamie reassured me it would arrive within 7 days which it did.
Excellent service and customer care...and the helmet is great as well.
Cheers.

Appalling customer service and unacceptable handling of a faulty safety product

I purchased a pair of Alpinestars Missile V3 leather trousers from Moto Central. Within less than two months of normal use, the trousers developed multiple faults, including stitching coming apart and zip failures. For an expensive, safety-critical motorcycle garment, this is completely unacceptable and deeply concerning.

I contacted Moto Central and followed their warranty process exactly as instructed. They confirmed that the supplier had agreed to replace the item and requested that I return the trousers, which I did. From that point onward, the way this situation was handled was extremely poor.

When I raised legitimate safety concerns and requested a refund rather than a replacement, the tone of communication quickly became dismissive, confrontational, and unprofessional. I was repeatedly told that refunds were “at our discretion”, that they were “bending the rules” for me, and was warned that if I continued to pursue the matter they would revert to sending a replacement instead. I was also advised to “seek advice before my next email” and told I was wrong, which came across as intimidating rather than supportive.

Despite confirming in writing that the supplier had credited them for the faulty item, Moto Central still refused to issue a refund and insisted on store credit only, citing loss of profit as justification. At this stage, I had no trousers and no refund, leaving me entirely out of pocket through no fault of my own.

My safety concerns were repeatedly dismissed, including comments suggesting that leather should not be questioned, despite the fact that my Alpinestars textile trousers, which they described as inferior materials, have lasted over two years of all-weather riding without issue, while this leather pair failed in under two months. For a retailer dealing in motorcycle safety equipment, this attitude is extremely worrying.

Practical considerations such as my work schedule and distance from the store were acknowledged but ultimately ignored. The focus throughout appeared to be on protecting internal policy and profit rather than resolving a legitimate fault fairly, reasonably, or professionally.

I eventually accepted store credit purely to bring the situation to an end, not because I was satisfied with the outcome. I will not be using Moto Central again, and based on this experience, I will be actively sharing it within the motorcycling community and across my social media platforms so other riders can make an informed decision before purchasing from them.

I strongly advise anyone considering Moto Central to fully understand their consumer rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 before buying, particularly when purchasing safety-critical motorcycle equipment.

*UPDATE*

Hi Jamie,

I find it difficult to believe that you are unable to identify this case, given how specific the issues described are and the fact that you personally corresponded with me by email throughout the entire process, including making the final decision regarding store credit. The wording and circumstances outlined in my review directly mirror that email correspondence.

For clarity, this was not a case of a simple replacement being offered and accepted. The issue arose from how the situation was handled after a significant fault occurred in a safety-critical product within a very short period of ownership, and how concerns were addressed once the item had been returned and the supplier credit confirmed.

The conclusion regarding consumer law was not reached lightly and was based on the responses I received, including repeated statements that refunds were entirely at your discretion, references to store profit as a deciding factor, and warnings about continuing correspondence. These points are all documented in the email trail.

My review reflects my genuine experience as a customer and stands as an accurate account of how this matter was handled.

Reply from Moto Central

Hi,

We’re sorry to read your review, as this doesn’t reflect how we aim to handle customer issues.

From what you’ve described, it sounds like a replacement was offered, which is part of our normal process when a product issue is identified. Because of that, we’re a little unclear on how the situation led to the conclusion that we don’t understand consumer law - we always work hard to follow UK guidelines and resolve matters fairly.

Unfortunately, we can’t locate your order or any related correspondence based on this review alone, so we don’t currently know who you are or which purchase this relates to. I will also speak with our sales team on Monday to see if anyone recognises the situation, as we genuinely want to investigate this properly.

Please contact us directly with your name, order number, or any relevant details so we can look into it and put things right.

Kind regards,
Jamie

Hi,

Thank you for your detailed review. I want to clarify first that I am a different Jamie to the one you corresponded with — Moto Central has more than one team member with the same name, the reason I couldn't find any information before was because you used an alias name and not your real one in the review so I had nothing to search for in our inbox to find the communication. My original reply was on Saturday evening after working hours which was why I needed to speak to my team on Monday. — however I have now personally reviewed your case.

Once the fault was reported after the item had been in use for some time, the correct warranty procedure was followed and repair or replacement was offered through the supplier. In addition to that, we went beyond the usual warranty process and allowed you to exchange for a completely different item to bring the matter to a close.

I understand you would have preferred a refund and that the situation was frustrating from your perspective. Our intention throughout was to resolve the fault fairly while working within supplier and warranty processes, and also to offer flexibility where possible.

We take safety-related concerns seriously and always aim to handle these situations professionally. I’m sorry that the communication left you feeling unsupported — that feedback is taken on board.
