Purchased a car here in January. After 3 weeks it broke down. The first repair (in the garage 4weeks with no car) was covered by ‘warranty’ with a reconditioned part. It broke again 1 week after having it back. As Graham informed me they don’t do returns/refunds but would have my car collected and repaired near his garage for cheaper. That was on the 30th March. I’m still waiting. After Graham stopped responding or communicating with me 3 weeks ago I’m now sat with a 17k car I can’t drive and a £2200 bill to have it repaired. Owned the car 12 weeks today and driven it a total of just over 3 weeks. Customer service and communication after purchase HORRENDOUS and after a while nothing.

Automotivecars from Automotive Cars in response to Worst car purchase to date!
Hi Louise, sorry to hear you have had a bad experience whilst using us at Automotivecars. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service. You initially left us fantastic feedback for the service you received. Unfortunately, your car developed an issue shortly after you purchased it. There had been a problem with the steering rack. We offered to fix it right away. For your own convenience you wanted to take it to your chosen repairer to be fixed. This is not what we wanted to do, but we try help out where we can. Sadly you had shocking service and a job which should have been turned around in 2 days took weeks. It was also your choice to have a reconditioned part fit, as the bill was as expensive as a new one! We still paid the entire bill once it was ready. We can’t be held accountable for the poor service you received at another garage. Your car developed a further fault some time afterwards. Again, you took it to the garage you had received poor service from the previous time, so on this occasion we said it would be best to recover the vehicle back to us to ensure the vehicle was repaired correctly and in a timely manner. At this time, we were under a national lockdown due to Covid-19. You stated that you were abroad and would be for 3 months. We were not doing any unnecessary travel, and I also didn’t want to put any of our staff at risk at that present time. So, we had agreed we would collect the car from your barracks at a later date as it wouldn’t be in use for some time. We purchased specific tooling to do the job in preparation for its return. In the meantime, you decided to get it repaired without any consultation with ourselves. And presented us with an astronomical bill for the work that was carried out. We always do our best to get warranty repairs done as quick and as convenient as possible. Unfortunately, you were unwilling to discuss and work with us in doing so. I did try to ring you numerous times to come to an amicable solution but got no reply.
Bought a Audi convertible off graham from automotive cars. Absolutely stunning car. You can tell graham is very passionate about cars and knows his stuff. First class service! Would highly recommend! Thanks graham.

Bought a BMW X5 from graham at Automotive Cars in Keighley and we did a gentleman’s hand shake deal regarding a knocking noise on the front of the car. He told me his mechanic and mot tester could not find it. He also gave me some front brake pads to fit myself as they were low but no advise on the mot (I’m a tester myself). The next day I fitted the pads due to noise and had to replace the discs as they were worn.. £100 out of pocket straight away. The knocking noise was hard to find so I started with the cheapest items first which was anti roll bar links then the upper wishbones. Still knocking badly. Changed all four track control arms and at last nice and quiet. So now I’m £440 out of pocket and done all the work myself. Emailed him at least 8 times (have proof) and just getting ignored. Deal was he pays for parts I do the labour. £32000 car and had to do brakes the next day and sold it with a knocking noise which tbh should of all been done and now getting ignored. Never wrote a bad review before and I don’t enjoy doing this but I should not be ignored.

Just a update on the previous review I made, the issues have now been resolved and Graham has paid for the parts what were making the knocking noise only. He did explain that he had been in hospital having a operation which he did mention when buying the vehicle. The car is now perfect and I am very happy with it. Please ignore my previous review as it was a misunderstanding and go and buy that car that you have seen. Graham is a good salesman not pushy at all and will let you have a long test drive and gives good p/x prices compared to others. I have emailed this review site to see if they will remove my review but have had no contact from them, so thought it best to explain the situation.
Graham was really easy to deal with, obviously very passionate about cars and what he does. Rather than the typical dealer experience I've had he offered me a very fair deal straight away, which was a breath of fresh air. Happily recommend Graham and Automotive Cars.

Did a deal with Graham on my Bmw and can say it was an absolute pleasure to deal with him. Would deal with Automotive Cars in Keighley again if and when need arises.
Went along from Leeds to view a nice Merc E350 cabriolet at Grahams garage/show area and wasn't disappointed at all !! A friendly and approachable young man, who was open to doing a deal for my vehicle and with Graham already having slashed nearly £2k off the screen price of the Merc. Not pushy in the slightest, in fact dare I say more laid back than a beach deck-chair. Arranged the finance too with a reputable company at a decent rate. We picked the car up on Aug 2nd and so far it is running sweet. Needed a full valet, but you can't remember everything shifting as many vehicles as he does. I definitely recommend everyone to Automotive Cars, Keighley and will hopefully return in four years to see what he has and what he can do for us.

Scruffy premises almost put me off - but premises are overheads we the customers have to pay for. Engineer who checked out the vehicle said before he arrived, that Graham was one of the better dealers. Very laid back and easy to do business with. Car exactky as described. I went there from London and am pleased I made the effort.
