Brilliant at selling faulty calls
Bought the car with defects on the whole vehicle .
Once I contacted them it was a different team and the after sales team had a different tone from the start of conversation. They were on the defensive and deny all claims of their fault . They are rude and extremely disrespectful. Especially Michal eddolls.
Would avoid at all costs

The worst sales experience ever

I went here with a specific car in mind to test drive and then purchase outright no mess no fuss. Oh no, in-between arriving at 10.15am and leaving at 14.15pm we were Subject to some of the worst and most forceful sales tactics iv ever experienced. The salesman would not take no for an answer when trying to practically force us to buy one of their extended warranties or there bodywork Polish or a tracker system. The only reason I didn't walk out is because I wasn't going to go through that hell again at another car dealer. So ultimately I caved inorder to get the hell out of there but now we now had to wait another hour for what they call a valet. Oh my ! Well if i could put enough pictures on here to show you a v12 valet, what an absolute lie, there is no way on earth this car was valeted. All in all a horrific experience never will I return to a v12 dealership. If your paying by finance or want the extended warranties then this is the place, if not then stay away......v12 no means no

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your visit did not meet the standard of service we aim to provide.

We take your comments regarding the sales process, additional products and the vehicle preparation very seriously. Our aim is always for customers to feel informed and comfortable with their purchase, never pressured into taking products or services they do not want.

We’re also disappointed to hear your concerns regarding the valet and the condition of the vehicle. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have.

We apologise again for the frustration caused and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

I brought a Hyundai tuscon 72 plate in November 2025 from v12 Hinckley I specifically asked about things that would be covered by the gold warranty that they advise me to buy as I was spending a lot of money on the car and wanted to make sure if there was any issues that they would be covered they never told me there would be a limit on the amount the warranty company would pay out for any repairs if they were needed from the moment I got home with car there was times when the car didn’t seem to pull away smoothly but I didn’t realise it was a problem as I just thought it was because I was getting used to driving an automatic hybrid as I only ever driven manual cars before I have had the car for 9 months and paid £20,000 for it I contacted the warranty company about what car had been doing and they arranged for car to be looked at which the only garage tht dealt with warranty and automatic hybrid clutch / gearbox was miles away from where I live they collected car in July and I have been without a car for a month I rang v12 Hinckley after sales to speak to them as the warranty company either dnt reply to emails or answer phone to say to them about problem only to be told by lady on the phone that basically it wasn’t their problem when you spend that sort of money on a car and specifically ask questions about warranty etc and told don’t worry it all covered you dnt expect to them be told that the warranty only covers so much and you now got to go find thousands to get your car fixed and basically the place you brought from just wanted your money and dnt give 2 monkeys about the after sales care for their customers

Sharp paractices & dangerous cracked tyres

Paid a deposit of £99 to reserve car at Worksop
Arranged to view and collect car 2 days later on arrival we viewed & test drove car very good
Went into the showroom to complete purchase then salesman tried to sell a package of over 1500 on top of advertised price which we did not want , he & salesmanager didn’t like but came back with another 179 they wanted us to pay ! For a 3 months warranty which you get by law , so I informed salesman & salesman manager that we will pay the advertised price or leave with our 99 deposit & not purchase
Then salesmanger said she would do a special offer for that day & sell us the car for the ADVERTISED price
How generous . After being told the car had been inspected by AA i later found the rear tyre to be cracked (since replaced at my own cost ) and told that it had an mot & was legal even though it was advised on previous MOT , which I saw after on mot cert once purchased , BEWARE OF SHARP PRACTICES

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention.

We would, however, like to clarify the point regarding MOT advisories. An MOT advisory is not the same as an MOT failure or a legal requirement to replace the item. Advisories are recorded by the MOT tester to highlight an item that may need monitoring or attention in the future, but the vehicle can still legally pass its MOT if the item remains within the required legal limits at the time of testing.

With regard to the additional products mentioned in your review, these are optional and are not a condition of purchasing a vehicle. Our sales teams are expected to explain the products available, but we do not want customers to feel pressured into purchasing anything they do not require.

We’re sorry that you left feeling dissatisfied and would welcome the opportunity to investigate the specific vehicle and concerns you have raised.

Liars

Surprise, surprise - a car salesman that tells lies!
For the most part the sales people were very nice and pleasant to deal with, and the cars are also pretty good prices - which is why this is not a 1 star review. But they did flat out lie when selling extras. I was told I could pay a one-time payment of £999 for installing an electric charging point outside my house, regardless of how much extra work was needed to install it. But after paying and then submitting a pre-installation survey I was told it would be another £400 to complete, which I had no choice but to pay because I was already £999 deep.
Also the wait times are ridiculous here! After making an appointment to see a car it was 90 minutes later before we were dealt with!
Overall a very unpleasant experience and I would not recommend

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that, despite being happy with the vehicle and the service from some of our team, your overall experience left you disappointed.

We’re particularly concerned by your comments regarding the charging point installation and the additional cost following the survey. We appreciate how frustrating this must have been, and we would like to understand exactly what was discussed and what was included in the original package.

We’re also sorry for the delay you experienced when attending your appointment. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.

We apologise for the inconvenience and frustration caused.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid – TOTALLY APPALLING SERVICE
Based on experience, I would not recommend V12 Sports & Classics to anyone looking for value for money, decent aftersales support or even basic customer service.

The service has been shambolic from beginning to end. Calls repeatedly not returned, emails ignored, promises of contact that never materialise, no ownership and an astonishing lack of compassion when a customer genuinely needs help.

The irony is that V12 responds to negative Trustpilot reviews telling people to contact Aftersales. Good luck with that – getting Aftersales to actually respond is half the battle.

This experience has left us with the overwhelming impression that making the sale is the priority, dealing with the customer when something goes wrong is another matter entirely!

Most concerning has been the apparent lack of awareness around customer vulnerability. For a business operating in a regulated consumer environment, I would expect far greater understanding of the importance of identifying vulnerability and treating customers fairly and appropriately.

If you value responsive service, accountability and support after you've handed over your money, think very carefully before dealing with this company.

Perhaps less effort managing the Trustpilot reviews and more effort looking after the customers behind them would be a good place to start.

We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the valuation and understand how frustrating it must have been to receive a different figure when you arrived.

The valuation provided over the phone is an initial estimate based on the information available at the time. Once the vehicle arrives at the dealership, a full inspection is carried out to confirm its condition and specification. Factors such as damage, service history, the number of keys available, or other differences from the information provided can affect the final valuation and may result in it being lower than the initial estimate.

We appreciate that this can be disappointing, and we’re sorry that your experience left you feeling that your time had been wasted. We always aim to be as transparent as possible throughout the valuation process.

Misled About Service History and Poor Customer Support

I feel completely misled by this dealership. They sold me a car claiming it had full service history, but when I tried to sell it two months later, the buyer discovered the history was incomplete. VW confirmed several missing services.

When I confronted the dealership and showed them screenshots proving what I was told, they denied everything and refused to take any responsibility.

I even tried to part‑exchange the car back to them, giving them a fair chance to fix the situation, but they rejected every option and didn’t help at all.

This behaviour shows a clear lack of honesty and customer care. Buyers should be very cautious when dealing with this dealership.

We’re also sorry that you feel your concerns were not handled as you would have expected.

We remain committed to providing our customers with a professional and transparent service.

Sold the car when I had a deposit on it

I am deeply disappointed with my experience at the Hinckley branch. I strongly advise potential buyers to proceed with caution.

I initially placed a £99 deposit to view and test drive a 2022 VW T-Roc R-Line on Saturday 15th August. After the test drive, I informed the salesperson, Onder, that I needed time to consider the purchase. I was then pressed by two separate managers/closers to buy the car on the spot. When I reiterated that I needed time, one of the managers stated that if I increased my deposit to £300, the vehicle would be fully reserved for me until the following Saturday (22/08/26) so I could return to complete the payment and collect it. I agreed and paid the £300.

On Thursday 20/08/2026, I noticed the advert had been taken down from AutoTrader and the dealership website. Upon calling both the Head Office and the Hinckley store, I was informed that the car had already been sold! Rather than explaining how this happened, staff simply dismissed the issue by stating they had other cars in stock. The issue is not alternative stock availability—it is why a vehicle was sold to someone else when I had an agreed, paid reservation on it. Was this a deliberate choice to prioritise a quicker sale, or serious internal miscommunication? Whatever the reason is, its unacceptable!! I was explicitly told to put a higher deposit than normal for them to save it till Saturday yet they still decided to sell it.

A deposit is meant to secure a transaction, not act as a temporary holding marker until another customer walks through the door. As far as I understand, once that car had been reserved for me it shouldn’t have been sold to someone else - you wouldn’t sell a house that someone’s already put a deposit on??

Had I not taken the initiative to call and check the status of the vehicle, I would have travelled to the dealership on Saturday fully expecting to purchase and collect a car that had already been sold to someone else. I consider this to be a very poor customer experience as I did not receive any commutation from the sales team and feel that I was seriously let down by the Hinckley branch.This experience has completely undermined my trust in the dealership.

The only positive element was Marina, who was professional, helpful, and efficiently processed my £300 refund over the phone. I am still waiting for a genuine explanation from management as to why the explicit agreement I was given was completely ignored.

We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and understand why you feel so let down. We appreciate that, having paid a £300 deposit and been told the vehicle would be reserved until Saturday, you expected the agreed arrangement to be honoured.

We’re particularly disappointed to hear that you were not contacted when the vehicle was sold and that you had to chase the dealership for an explanation. This is clearly not the level of communication or customer service we aim to provide.

We’re pleased that Marina was able to assist with your refund, and we will ensure your concerns regarding the reservation and the communication from the Hinckley team are raised with management. We sincerely apologise for the frustration and loss of trust this experience has caused.

Slow to respond to queries….

Was interested in a BMW car, contacted company via online form, had an initial response to online form, then no reply from specific questions asked. A few days past before i eventually had a response and excuse for delay, however car had been sold during that time. I realise a deposit can reserve a car, but I’m reluctant to do that without basic questions being answered. My car search and cash continues elsewhere…….!
