Great car at a good price.

Spotted a Mercedes A35 on Autotrader and left the £99 deposit. Within 10 mins I'd received a phone call from Zain asking if we'd like to go test drive it. Within the hour I was driving the car down the motorway.

Zain was great throughout the process and was on top of everything, even when we decided to switch to finance instead of rinsing the savings he was accommodating and I felt like he did have everything covered.

They offered a competitive price for my Kia Ceed that I would be part exchanging and the price for the new car was fair.

I had misplaced the V5C and some of the service history for the old car when moving house but they allowed me to leave a (very reasonable) £99 holding fee whilst I sourced these whilst still accepting the part ex. The customer service was brilliant, can't fault it.

I picked the car up the next day and have been enjoying it since.

Thanks!

I recently purchased a BMW 5 Series and the sale was handled by Zain. Zain was professional, efficient and knowledgeable. Zain ensured I was updated every step of the way. I was very pleased with the service and would definitely recommend.

Absolutely avoid reserving a car with this dealership – it clearly means nothing to them. I paid to reserve a vehicle and was fully planning to collect it, only to find out they sold it to someone else anyway, apparently without even informing my own salesman.

There was zero communication throughout the process. No warning, no explanation – just refunded and the car gone. Completely unprofessional and a waste of time. Would not trust them at all. Cowboys.

Zubair was great

Zubair was great, he talked through all the packages, best options and was professional throughout and provided extra optionals which were really competitive. All our needs and budget were taken in to consideration which made our final decision easier.

Miss sold!!

Miss sold!!
Everything!!
Once I had signed the after care service was shocking!!
Car sold with ‘full service history’ (did not receive it still waiting).
Now spent £7,000 on repairs after only
8,000 miles
Suspension arm, Front and rear discs and pads Lambda, DPF, and MP filter sensors all needed replacing to get it through 1st MoT. (Yes I have serviced as advised).
Warranty was explained as “Everything covered, For as long as you have the vehicle” I understand wear and tear would be mine to deal with but
When I finally received the document after chasing several times it was for 36 months and only covered to £2k!.
Now can’t get a response!
Poor poor poor!!!

Great customer service

I had an overall quick and great experience with this company all thanks to Zain. I called up in the morning and he was able to get the right price I was looking for as well as a great maintenance plan.
I am very happy with the car also and definitely recommend their service.
