Reply from SSC Shaks Specialist Cars

Thank you for the review
For clarification it is indeed very unfortunate that we could not conclude the deal.
The reason was the overdue services and missing service history. This directly impacts any manufacturers warranty on all vehicles due to the services not being completed in a timely manner.
We did offer a number of solutions to over come this issue and sadly you declined all viable options.
We will always help and be as fair as possible to support local businesses especially when being referred from other existing customers.
We will always welcome you back to the showroom and if we can help in the future please do not hesitate to contact us.

A great buying experience

A great buying experience from the whole team at Shaks, especially Hassan. From the first phone call Hassan was helpful, sending a video of the vehicle and when we arrived the car was exactly as described. The team did a great job detailing the car and the collection was made very special. Great experience, great team and I love my Q8! Thank you.

Purchased 2 cars from SSC

Purchased 2 cars from SSC , if I could give them - stars I would.

Where do I start?

We purchased a GWagon summer last year , from the moment it arrived we had issues with the Ghost immobiliser (It wouldn’t pick up the code, which then meant it wouldn’t start!) . The blind spot assist didn’t work, Hassan lied and said “oh the part is out of stock” . After chasing him up multiple times we then took the car to Mercedes- now to be billed £2K to fix all the issues. The GWagon cost £115K - Rip off for a car with issues.

Next up the Bright yellow GTR, this one costing £121k (I know what was I thinking?)
It arrives and the front bumper strut is snapped meaning the undertray started scraping along with ground. We had this fixed ourselves. A few months later we sell the car and have it checked over by our mechanic… only to find out how dangerous it was. Front air bag suspension…. Rear coil overs - you just can’t make this up.

Try contacting SSC funnily enough you get the same old story.

Won’t be back and if this is what £100k+ cars are rolling out the showroom like , I would hate to see the state of the Lambos and Ferraris.

Read the other 1 star reviews, seems to be a common theme with these cowboys.

Highly recommend buying your new Supercar or any car from Ssc.
Jed from shaks specialist cars was extremely helpful, made me feel very comfortable and dealt with everything. I even got to speak to Shak whilst he was away on business, and met him in person on the collection day. Even though shak is very busy, he made time to see me and ensured everything was perfect, he sourced the car for me, and what a car, Lamboghini Performante, absolutely stunning car. Did not disappoint at all. This is the place to get your car from. I’d like to thank all the team at Shaks specialists cars for making my Dream a reality.

Good PCP deal on my car but service after was shocking. Recommended a friend and was promised a referral fee. Was told on two/three occasions that it was on it's way but never came to fruition. After enquiring with no response for over 2 months finally got an arrogant message back basically stating they don't need mine or any friends business!

Smooth purchase for a fantastic car!

I had a very pleasant experience from start all the way to finish with SSC. Firstly from enquiring about the car I was spoken to very professionally by one of the sales team. I was pleasantly surprised how I the viewing of the car was scheduled around my free time (rather than the other way round like other places). Upon viewing the car it was exactly how it was described over the phone. Overall I’m very happy with the service and I’ve since done many miles in the car without any issues. I’ll definitely be back when I fancy something new. 10/10 service.

The People to go to

I purchased a Golf R from these guys and traded in my old car.The whole process was painless from start to finish, so no stress on my part .They organised everything for me and drove the car down and picked up the part ex. I have never had this level of detail and professionalism from any dealer ( even Porsche ) and would definitely recommend them . We now have a lovely new car without the hassle and worry of getting rid of our old one.

Paid a deposit to secure the car and the car still got SOLD??

So I recently found the car I was looking for.. BMW M2, and I spoke to someone named Martin from the showroom. Martin told me in order to secure the car I was interested in I would have to leave a deposit of £1000. So I paid the company £1000 and thought according to what I was told I secured the car SO SURELY THE CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD TO ANOTHER PERSON?? , Later on when I was about to arrange to drive down from west midlands and pick up the car the car had been sold. SOLD despite my secured deposit on the vehicle. So this defeats the purpose of a deposit.
Why would you take a deposit upfront from somebody then have the audacity to sell the car within hours of the transaction. This sales rep is deluded. The company reviews show the bad service they have offered to previous customers. When I spoke to someone regarding this dispute I was told oh it was a system error so why did you take my money,?? Where did my money go?? which car was my money secured to?? There cannot be a system error here folks!! this company is a crook company and the service is clearly rubbish and the people who dealt with me are have diabolically cocked up... DO NOT TRADE WITH THESE PEOPLE FOLKS BE AWARE!!!

Don’t sell your car to these scammers

Tried selling my car to these, a Nissan GTR 67 plate. Shak messaged me direct (the owner).
The amount they offered me was abysmal. I would have literally lost £15k which I got when I sold my car to someone else.
Don’t ever sell your cars to these they will rip you off.

Reply from SSC Shaks Specialist Cars

Good morning, we are very disappointed to see you have left a review in regards to selling your car.

After you offered us your car we politely replied back saying it’s not of interest to us due to the colour (dark red) and the age of the vehicle (14 plate not 67 as claimed in the review). Unfortunately the nearly 50k asking price you wanted was unrealistic as you can buy facelift cars for this same price. Please do understand that we are in the motor trade and must make a profit on the cars we sell in order to survive. To discuss this further please do get in touch with us directly.

Thanks for your time,
Shak
Managing Director SSC

SSC - Outstanding Garage **Shak's Specialist Cars**

SSC quite simply sets the standard that ALL garages should aspire to. The level of service that I experienced from start to finish was quite frankly ... outstanding! Over the years I have bought many performance cars, regardless of their price point, how they look aesthetically, or service records say, they can be a bit of a risk. SSC go that extra mile to ensure that what they provide to their clients is impeccable. If you're in the market for something a little special and want to deal with a team who are honest, follow up on what they say they are going to do and act with the highest levels of integrity. You need look no further! Well done guys, you made buying an important purchase for me a memorable experience for all the right reasons. I will no doubt be seeing you again in the very near future. You restored my faith in garages!

Very professional

Made an offer for part exchange then decided that they had valued the prt exchange too high but honoured the price given and sorted everything to a very high professional standard. Would recommend to others and will be going back when looking to buy my next car

Almost a 5 star experience.....

The buying experience was good and the car was just as described. What let the overall purchase down was linked to car servicing that was not recorded and therefore not recognised by the car and the previous owner failing to notify Land Rover that they were no longer the owner which has caused issues trying to register it with Land Rover. However, the sales staff were good and the car is excellent....it could have been 5 stars if these issues had been sorted
