Bought a Suzuki Celerio second-hand car in December 23 for our Grandson from A1 Carriages, Crayford. Would definitely recommend Chris the salesman. He was courteous and honest. Our Grandson is very happy with the car.

I bought a car from here for £5000. Initially I thought they were genuine and they fixed a minor fault with the car, however the car began showing issues with the clutch and dmf. Car vibrated badly at idle and shock when at 60 mph. 5 returns to the dealer and each time they denied any issues, even when fords inspected the car and said there was. Then to be told by the dealer “ what do you expect for a £5000 car “. Typical dealer, not interested once they have your money

This is the worst car garage I have ever known I got a car in December and it was problems from day one the starter motor went 8 weeks after I got the in July the red oil light come on and EML had a warranty but they refused to fix under the warranty so what ever you do don’t trust these ppl and don’t pay for there warranty because they make an excuse not to fix and when someone looked at my car he has been in an accident because it had been rebuilt and some of the panels was not even metal.

The staff and sales team were very courteous, patient with questions, answered everything in detail. Polite and pleasant to deal with. The car was delivered as promised without having seen it prior to the purchase. The car was spotlessly clean and for a car of its 2009 registration, in very good condition. The new owner is delighted with it.

"AVOID THIS GARAGE!!!"

We purchased an ex-Motability Vauxhall Mokka 2016 with 30000 miles on the clock purchased from here in January 2020 along with the useless 3 month warranty. Within weeks it was back for a glow plug replacement. After less than 3000 miles and after only 7 months of ownership the vehicle had a major mechanical fault which involved the entire EGR unit being replaced at a cost of £1500. (Vauxhall confirm that these units should be good for 80000 miles) The garage needless to say didn't want to know. After weeks of arguing they finally offered £500 towards the cost of repair. The car is today back in the garage needing replacement of a wheel bearing costing £245.47 and has failed it's first MOT. The vehicle cost over £8000 and in less than 10 months has cost nearly £2000 in repairs. The garage have sold a vehicle which is unfit for purpose and we are now pursuing them through the small claims court and Trading Standards. My advice would be to go to any garage apart from this one. Alternatively, if you have money to burn and don't mind paying out endlessly for major faults on your recently purchased vehicle this is the place to go. Incidentally, even if we had purchased the useless one year warranty the fault would not have been covered as it was over the warranty limit!!
