Landstrade and ACM. TERRIBLE company. SCAMMERS. We bought a car and within a month it was broken. Contacted the company who tried to say we had to speak to the supplier not them, even though they sold us the car. Said because we were out of warranty by two weeks (6 weeks since purchase) they would do NOTHING. Issues: brakes, entire base fell off while driving, oil leak they claimed they’d resolved, broken aircon, starter motor, glow plugs gone, turbo gone, black exhaust smoke, faulty dashboard so we had no idea the engine light was on, faulty passenger window. This is an old car, 2006, but it is NOT road safe, not as described, not fit for purpose and the company are refusing not only to help but to respond. They just repeatedly say they will check with admin then ditch. Even companies associated in the same location say they are scam artists. AVOID THESE CARS AT ALL COSTS

Was sold a car unbeknown to us with worn disc brakes , buckled wheel and damaged wheel mechanisms from a previous impact that was not pointed out to us at time of sale. Full service stamp but no service details . New MOT with worn rear brakes, seriously - dangerous and illegal . Warranty is not worth the paper it’s printed on . All this is charged within price of car . GEORGE lies so much he even Forgets what he told you beforehand. Not to be trusted. This person has no conscience, no morals and is only interested in taking your money from my experience and honest opinion . He doesn’t care that he’s sold you a potentially dangerous car knowing you will be taking young children 👧 around in it to and from school and places . Nothing tallies up on their paperwork either . The more you investigate the more you realise how dodgy this set up is . Meanwhile after giving them almost £8,000 we are a further £1, 500.00 thereabouts out of pocket including loss of use of car after all necessary repairs by a reputable garage to put the car right in a safe roadworthy condition - reports and invoices submitted to George and all he did was twist it with his corrupt lies in order to evade his legal obligations and get out of paying any money apart from a small amount of £48.00 which they took off us by force as an admin fee at the pint of sale in order to take the car in the first place . I wish we had refused the admin fee and left the car there at affordable cars Bedford ( both these companies are in it together)as that would of saved us a lot of money heartache and trouble . YOU HAVE BEEN LEGITIMATELY WARNED - PLEASE CLEAR . DONT GET DEALT A DODGY DEAL LIKE WE DID ! !! Meanwhile, legal action in the process . I have proof of everything I have written so we shall see what a court of law and the Inland Revenue will make if all this !

Don’t trust George. He will spin lies to you about how the car was repaired. This is all lies. I have visited their site and seen with my own eyes. Dodgy repair.
George in response to Dodgy Car Dealer
Why you dont have name? fake review for hate. I can understand you couldnt buy car for dream price and ofcource I couldnt sell to you more cheaper than I purchase. Feel sorry for you
I contacted George via eBay for a car for my daughter. He was honest, spot-on with the information on the car itself and went out of his way for me to view the car at the weekend. He offered me an extended test drive, gave me all the information on the history with the car, was flexible on price AND offered to deliver for peanuts. We are both happy with the car and I've now got George to look for my next car. Top man!

Thank you for the honest review. Now we are on search for your next car. We will get back to you with the car you want in couple of weeks time. regards George ACM.
don't buy a car from this company via website.i put a £100 deposit on a car which i should have had delivered .one owner i was told .Lies 3 all mot's one missing also add admin fee's for what.so cancelled car only to be told you loose deposit .But i did some checking.i found out if you have'nt visited car dealership and bought online you're entitled to 14days cooling off period and can demand deposit back.so i emailed them with this information they replied say call office in morning so they could process payment only to be cut off during conversation then even blocked .so only alterative for me is to down car ombudsman who say i have to give them 8wks to something if not then ombudsman takes over.so the way i see it is i'm down£100 for 8weeks but could have been worse i could have bought car from these xxxxxx they have no morals be warned

ACM DEAL WITH CAT N VEHICLES, THEY ADVERTISE WITH PRICES CLEARLY SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE WINDSCREEN. ADVERTISE ON EBAY ALSO. ONCE A DEAL IS MADE OVER THE PHONE GEORGE WILL CONTACT YOU BY TXT MESSAGE AND SAY VEHICLE IS SOLD THEN ADD £4000 TO THE ASKING PRICE AND ADVERTISE IT ON EBAY. UNTRUSTWORTHY AND UNPROFESSIONAL CAR DEALERS.
A George from ACM Bedford Motors Ltd in response to POOR CAR DEALERS
We couldnt sell car to you as you were not paid deposit to hold the car. You were in a confuse mind for 2 weeks and you get upset when we sold car before you take a decision to purchase. We will try the the best to get same typo car and its hard for the price always. The price I increased in website after sold it due to avoid more enquiries. Once we took deposite for cars, we increase price in website until complete the deal with purchaser to avoid more enquiries. Hope you understand why the price is up after we sold car.
ACM Bedford Motors had a Mondeo Titanium X estate Cat N repaired advertised for sale. The car was in excellent condition inside and out. We went for an extended test drive and George was very knowledgeable. He allowed us to take our time and answered all questions with care. Follow-up text questions after the purchase were answered fully and promptly. Would recommend to anyone.
