This guy and his cars are scrap cars I remember driving one back for him from a garage in Ashton he bought for pennies and then give it to some of his mechanics then a few days later he put this car up for sale at £3,599 I bought a car from him and get home I had to go buy coolant engine oil and was that leaking out everywhere from the bottom? I called Voca he advised me to park the car outside the car garage for them to look over the car and told him he had to give me all my money back then four months later, I had to pay seven parking fines for parking my car outside his garage please don’t deal with this guy Neil is the owner of Bolden cars

Now junction 3 car sales Hyde stay well clear

Sarah west in response to Conman

This is incorrect information. He DOES NOT HAVE ANY AFFILIATION WITH ALEX JONES ESTATE AGENTS. This comment is slanderous and legal action will be taken if any similar comments are made.

Get the theme here? I bought a car too, should have been scrapped. Dangerous vehicle but got assured all issues would be resolved. They were not. Took the vehicle to an authorised dealer who confirmed the vehicle had been run without oil and I should return it. Tried to put a personal plate on the vehicle but it was tagged by DVLA so couldn’t do it after I’d paid for plates, so obviously used for illegal purposes. Took Mr Bowden to court who had to request the papers from court because he clearly binned them. Settled out of court but refused to pay expenses. The guy is a crook, falsified MOT certificate and when I finally returned the vehicle didn’t put the vehicle back on his books so I had to deal with the DVLA. Avoid at all costs and learn from my experience.

He sold us a dangerous car, won't refund. No communication. Guy has serious anger management issues. Just an all round conman and thief. Buy a car and join the list of people taking him to court. Company is now called senna autos but still misrun by Nigel Bowden.

AVOID at all costs. Its incredible that somebody can get away with scamming so many people in this day and age I was sold a dangerous car that had to be scrapped. Luckily the credit card company refunded me after months of lies from Nigel Bowden and crew. Now trading as Senna Autos, but still the same outfit run by the same con artists.

They are the worst car dealership in Uk. Do not buy from them because their cars have rust underneath and they spray it so you don't see and they liars and thieves that can't be trusted. We bought a car from them so bad that even MOT company said that the car is a fire hazard. They hid all the defect so well and we ended up losing more than £2000 when they took it back

Unfortunately you have to tick stars in this review precess to actually leave a review , i would not give any ticks if that was possible .Bought a car off this Circus full of clowns, conmen, liars and cheats , we returned the car as legally they have to be given the chance to put the car right, car came back the same done nothing except mask the issues , an independent Inspection had to be carried out the inspector advise us not to drive the car, so bad the inspector wouldn't drive it, really don't know how this lot are still in business, don't return emails , phone calls , abusive and aggressive , no morals what so ever , allegedly the car had passed an MOT days before we collected it, dodgy to say the least, if you value your safety and that of your family , not to mention financial loss, don't go near, I thought this Industry had cleared out the low life scum , not entirely they are live and kicking here .

In the year 2022, we have a rogue trader selling dangerous cars to the unsuspecting public and I too fell victim. After handing over £7000, the car was so bad I had it recovered back to them within 10 days and still unable to get my money back 3 months later. All agencies, whether government or independent are allowing this to continue for reasons unknown. Horrendous

Bought a bmw 645 from them for £3300 completely rotten and rusty. Brake lines in a very dangerous condition and when I spoke to them they just laughed and said what do you expect from a used car. As for there warranty don’t be fooled by that one. Shame we can’t add photos. Had to give 1 star though they don’t even merit that

Sina in response to Avoid at all costs

Sorry to hear that Richard. I wish I read the trust pilot review first before I pay the guy called Nigel £3000. Please go to the trust pilot website and put your comment for the Bowden car to help others not to be cheated by these cheating people and return the car asap and file a small claim. But first and asap contact the citizen advice. They are very helpful. All the best
