Avoid - tried to purchase a vehicle from them and they lied about the vehicle having a major mechanical issue which was noticed on a RECENT vehicle diagnostic report but decided to ignore & list for sale. No works been done, they are aware yet refused to believe it and would rather sell on to be another persons issue. Avoid the place or be out of pocket

I was very interested in a car Bedford Car Centre had for sale. I contacted them via email just hours after the car had come on the market, waited 24 hours with no reply so contacted them again via email waited 24 hours & still no reply. I was holding back from viewing anther car as this was further for me to travel, but buy doing this the car sold and I missed out. Very frustrating. Typical time wasters.

I wouldn't buy from here again. Purchased a car for 18/19k, picked it up and found an empty box which obviously had contained suspension parts(first red flag!) whilst driving home noticed that wing mirror was faulty and had come away from the casing(flag 2!) in for first service cost of repairs. 6K! second service 4k with a further 10k of work required! Need I say more? Go to a big reputable dealer, you might pay more but at least you get decent warranties etc.

Awful experience would not recommend to anyone. Put a £200 deposit down on a car and was in constant contact with on what was happening, before I put the deposit down, I was told the money can be released at any point if I ever changed my mind. I was also told that I can have as much time as I needed to decide if wanted to go ahead and purchase the car. I decided to go through motorway to sell my car which they recommended after they offered me more for my car. I was then contact by their finance company they used that someone turned and brought the car in cash. I then contacted them and was greeted with an awful phone call of someone not answering my questions. I called the next day to enquire about my deposit and was told it is nonrefundable. I was told that I took too long to purchase the car, I was given any time frame in which I needed to purchase the car, and I had not been responding to emails, which I had been. I was then told to call back when someone else was in the next day. Furthermore, I had been emailing them all day and had no response from them. I called up the next day and was told it was not his issue to be dealing with and will need to call back again when the other person was in at 11:30. I then called back at 12:00 just to be told they were going to be in at 13:00 now. I then said I will have to go through the bank to get my money back and was told to "do what you want bud.” Also, the car that I was willing to purchase is still available on the website and probably hasn't been sold. Would stay clear from the garage bunch of scammers.

Started making noise when driving home - next day went to local garage and asked them to check over and for peace of mind we asked them to give it a new MOT - IMMEDIATE FAIL AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. only a few days after purchase £10k we had a car we could not use and were not allowed to drive until new parts fitted. Cost £500!! Warranty supplied virtually worthless because it states they only pay up to £50 labour (inclusive of VAT!!) per hour and only market factor parts or secondhand/exchanged parts can be used not original - also most garages do not do warranty work because it takes months to receive the payment. So warranty not worth paper it’s written on. Very disappointed with whole buying process. I WOULD NOT recommend Bedford Car Centre! Stay well clear. We rang garage and they said they would take car in and assess but we decided against this because of the ‘cowboy’ set up at the garage. They pull black screens across the repair area so you cannot view what they are doing. I had a bad feeling about it on arrival and should have walked away but as they have AA approved car posters we thought we were buying a safe roadworthy inspected prior to purchase car. Quote from AA on AA garage approved cars - We thoroughly inspect each one before it can join our network to ensure it fully meets our quality, service and training standards. This means every garage is trustworthy and AA approved. What a joke. Steer clear.

Avoid this trader, constant lies from seller, when you complain not willing to answer the phone, when eventually get in touch again hear lies, easy to take your money, hard to get them back from them. Car had issues, which they said gonna fix for new customer, but changed price for a little less and it was back on market day later with new cheaper price. That fix will cost you 1k, they reduced price for max 200£. So new buyers good luck you are buying car with issuess. Avoid this dealer at all cost!
