Bought a fiat panda from affordable cars for you,Geoff could not of been more helpful,cracking little car,love it. Would reccomend this dealer.
We bought a car from Geoff Ryder at Affordable Cars in April this year. We had the car for 5 weeks and things started to go wrong, wrong battery, problems with wheels. My husband was taking the car back to affordable cars after hearing a knocking noise from the car over weekend a week before only having paid affordable cars to fit a wheel bearing fitted. A wheel came off the car on way to the garage. My husband got to garage with damaged car to be told by Mr Ryder that he should be checking wheel nuts every week! Car left at garage more repair costs. Finally car has just broke down with diesel leaking from back of car due to heavy rusted pump. Rear of car was painted black on underside to conceal rust! Cost outlay for repairs at moment £650 pounds!

Thank you for posting your review on Car dealer reviews. As your husband Harry, has already posted this to our google review back in September, where we have responded in full to all your points for those who would like more information. However, whilst i welcome the points you make in this review 5 months after purchasing a part exchange clearance 2006 Nissan Xtrail 115K, from us. For the record the car was serviced, safety checked and inspected for fit for purpose, and sold with a 30 day major parts warranty only, 3 months Mot at purchase, independently Mot'd again, 3 months after purchase free of charge, hence sold with 15 months Mot. *The battery issue. We have acknowledged this was an oversight, and had we been informed at the time, not 5 weeks after the event, we would have certainly arranged the correct original battery to be fitted. *Knocking noise from the car. This was the opposite side to the wheel the wheel bearing was fitted by our service department. We were also made aware that third parties had been involved in the car, we fail to see how we can be singled out for a wheel that had become so loose that the wheel studs had fallen out. We also made what we thought was a valid safety comment, that at the time on hearing a knocking noise the driver had not taken the sensible steps to stop and make the necessary safety checks. *Black Paint at the back of the car. Like most 4x4 vehicles, especially those which have been used for their purpose, it is not unusual for them to have had as apart of routine maintenance repairs/welding to parts of the underside of the car, as good maintenance practice any repairs to metalwork should be suitably protected by the use of a protective underseal. We are confident this is what your concern is about. We understand that nobody likes motoring expenses, especially when you least expect them, however, sometimes when choosing the type of car to buy, consideration has to be given to the vehicle's age and mileage, term of warranty. On older cars, especially 4X4s it is inevitable that there will always be some degree of wear and tear. We are disappointed that you feel that our service and support has not met your expectations, but I can assure you that we take all our customers' reviews seriously, and where we feel we have failed in areas any necessary changes will be implemented Geoff Rider Affordablecars4u
I paid deposit to Affordable Cars 4U on a car on basis of being told 10 months mot, turns out there was only 3 months mot. No refund offered, instead assurances car was checked and free mot offered 'good will gesture'. Wrong battery in car cost £90 for new one after car would not start, wheel bearing and track rod end £180. MOT was done. I had check done after MOT. Turns out that another track rod end needed done and strut bearing and brakes cost £220!!!

Couldn't have been better! The car was like new and the service was of a very good standard. I bought a Kia Ceed back in June and it runs perfectly and I have had no problems at all. I would highly recommend.
