Scam!

Sold me a car that needed about 3k worth of repairs after telling me it was in perfect condition. Wouldn’t repair it or refund me so now having to take them to court to get my money back. AVOID.

He check Mot history but it was 1 BIG FAT LIE. after a month he discovered a oil leak took it back was told it was fixed... IT WASN'T!!! It cost him £700 to have it fixed shocks ware in very bad state cost £400. Condensation in both front lights £1200.

AVOID AT ALL COST

Nothing but trouble from the start, we thought we had brought a decent car but there was so much wrong with it. They hadn't even cleaned it when we collected it. By law we had every right to take it back and get a full refund. They wasn't interested. We had to go through trading standards but they still wouldn't take the car back. The next step was to take them to court which we was going to do but a close member of our family was taken very poorly and we needed a car quick. Took it to another garage and explained what was wrong. They then told us it was a category S car and this wouldn't show on the log book because the car was sold with private plates on . Got totally ripped off lost thousands of pounds.

I couldn’t recommend this place enough I will be back

I couldn’t recommend this place enough! Amazing dealership and family-owned — they truly make you feel at home. There was no pressure to purchase, they answered all of my questions, and even stayed open after hours to accommodate me. It’s very rare to find such an honest and incredible dealership, but these guys are an absolute gem. I will definitely be back again soon!

Very good experience

Very good experience. I paid a £250 deposit on a terrific car, but my circumstances changed for the worse. Despite holding the car for about two weeks and my finally having to tell Adin that I could not buy it, he refunded my money without any delay. You can trust this company without any doubt.

One star because you can’t do a minus…

One star because you can’t do a minus rating.
My son in law put a deposit down on a car from this garage and also paid cash for 4 new tyres to be put on before collection.
When he went to collect the car , it had been damaged , hadn’t been cleaned and although they agreed replace the pads and discs on the front of the vehicle it still made a noise from the front wheels.
He spoke to them about these issues and they started to argue with him. He then said I’m not accepting this vehicle and please pay me back the cash you had from me. They then started shouting at him saying it was like that when you test drove it and he should still take the car. He left the car there and walked away.
My daughter phoned them to ask for the cash back and he refused calling her all the names under the sun.
Whatever you do please think carefully before buying any car from this dealership as they are crooks and very rude.
They still owe him money for the tyres.

DO NOT TRUST The one rating was choosen only because…

The one rating was choosen only because I had to choose a star otherwise I couldn't leave a review, but ideally I would even give one.

The guy assured me that the vehicle I was buying had been fully serviced and everything was good, he told me that he has been driving his children and all ok, he also refused a warranty at first but after some chats he finally agreed to offer me a 28 day warranty (now I know why) at just 20 days after purchase there is a loud knocking on the car constantly, so when I called him to ask him to look at it, he refused point blank so I tried to explain with him that this car is for my family and that I do need it to be safe and you assured me that it was okay before purchasing so then he finally agreed to look at the car but days later after the 28 days warranty would expire.... so I agreed, but then he cheekily said if anything needs fixing he would not pay, so I told him I would take it further if he didn't as were under warranty and not fixing is not acceptable, (though just all hypothetical now lets see the car first), then he got all aggressive, shouting and then refused to see the vehicle and put the phone down.

I mean I had hoped he would honour the 28 days warranty...guess not his attitude makes me wonder if he knew something was wrong with the vehicle before... maybe I am too trusting!

Obviously now I am forced to pay for the car to be fixed 20 days after buying from him through fear of more aggressiveness even though were under warranty and being a women I would rather not have confrontation!

I had hoped to be leaving a good review but unfortunately I cannot.

New car pick up experience

The service from start to finish was really good . I arrived a bit early for my car pick but that wasn't an issue to them and they came straight away
Everything went smoothly and I was back on the road within the hour .
Really good 👍

Just don’t buy from these guys.

Where do I start, everything started well when we looked at purchasing a mini clubman. The car looked quite presentable on the surface. With the car looking clean and the sales guy promising it was all things good and that they had just serviced the vehicle we went ahead with the purchase. £500 down with some left to pay with credit provided by Motion Finance. (Who should review who they do business with)
The agreement made we returned to the garage to collect the vehicle. At the point of collection the sales guy grunted to another confirming the the finance was complete. He then thrust the key (only one not previously mentioned) across the table and said the car is in the supermarket car park next door. Completely disengaging with no handover and more importantly no paperwork, not even a bill of sale. I wish I could say that’s where the bad experience ends. Having driven the car a few days and being concerned I had it checked over and serviced. At this time we were told the rear brakes were dangerous, the car had not been serviced anytime recently and the clutch was failing and needed a new flywheel. Photographic evidence will be uploaded. All in all a £1500 bill! Absolute con men so just don’t do it!

Great service from Sam

Great service from Sam, he was enthusiastic and down to earth about the car and the prices. I would happily recommend both carsdirect and his services to anyone interested in buying a car either new or secondhand!

DO NOT BUY. Bought a faulty car

Bought a faulty car, which was not fit for purpose. Had no help from the dealership and service that I have received from them was the worst service I ever had. Everything is very suspicious about the dealership and people who work there has absolutely no idea about customer service and laws.
