My journey with The Car Spot was like a rollercoaster designed by a mischievous leprechaun. Here’s the abridged version: 1. Warning Lights Galore: The car came with more warning lights than a disco ball. Breaking? Engine? Take your pick—they’re all here! 2. Shock Absorber Tango: The shock absorber danced like a drunken sailor. The Car Spot’s omission? Mentioning it. 3. Wobbly Door Drama: The front passenger seat door wobbled like a Jenga tower. Surprise! It wasn’t part of the original description. 4. Sat Nav Mirage: The satellite navigation system promised dynamic routes and low CO2 magic. I got none of that. 5. RAC Warranty Mirage: The RAC warranty? A mirage. Apparently, my car’s service history was a Jackson Pollock masterpiece—splatters of inconsistency, smudges of neglect. Last one was over 4 years ago! 6. MOT Countdown: The fresh 12-month MOT? A cruel joke. The expiration date loomed, and my car sweated like a nervous exam-taker. Would it pass? Or would it cough up its secrets? It did cough up more secrets. 7. Refund Refusal: I stood before The Car Spot, trembling like a leaf in a hurricane. “Refund?” I implored. Their response? A dismissive chuckle, as if I’d asked for the moon on a silver platter. “No refunds,” they declared, their eyes glinting like mischievous imps. And just like that, my money vanished into the abyss. 8. Car Held Hostage: Behold, the grand spectacle! The Car Spot, like a dragon guarding its hoard, clung to my precious wheels. “Repairs,” they claimed. But weeks turned into epochs, and still, my car languished in their clutches. It’s as if they’d cast a spell—part Dementor’s kiss, part bureaucratic nightmare. 9. No Car, No Money: Imagine my plight: carless, penniless, and teetering on the brink of madness. The Car Spot had stripped me bare, leaving me with naught but a bus pass and a broken heart. Legal action loomed like a storm cloud, and I, a mere mortal, prepared to battle the titans. And so, my fellow travelers, heed my warning: avoid The Car Spot like a plague-ridden rat. Their showroom may gleam, but beneath the glossy surface lies treachery. As for me? I’ll hitchhike to justice, armed with indignation and a lawyer on speed dial. Fare thee well, dear reader, and may your wheels never wobble like mine did.

Jean P in response to BEWARE

10.03.2024 The Spot Car still refusing to issue a refund but at least they finally released my car 21 days later under threaght of legal action (still no SatNav or newly serviced record rendering their much vented RAC warranty not worth the paper it's written on due to RAC's T&C but at least they are not keeping both the money and the car). Sharing this because noone deserve to go through the emotional distress and financial loss incured as a result of this mess.

I first searched for my new car in Autotrader UK. I soon found what I needed, a small car, economical and air zone friendly so I did not need to pay extras. An added bonus for my car was free road tax. I called C S Cars Ltd. The man answered the phone call and straight away DANNY from Manchester dealership took all my fears away. He knew what I needed, offered free servicing, m.o.t and he even offered to deliver my car to Birmingham. EXTREMELY EXCEPTIONAL service. If I or my family/friends need another car I know who to call. Danny knows all there is to know about cars , he quickly answered all my questions courteously, quickly and any txt or phone calls, Danny is happy to help. The perfect salesman.

I bought a vehicle from Car Spot UK in 2014, and they did all the repairs I needed in the beginning without much problem. Since I knew I was buying a second hand vehicle I didn't expect so much. The great thing that happened is that I recently just 3 weeks ago took back that same car and sold it to car Spot and they bought it back. This is good business good will and I was highly impressed. My take in some adverse reviews I have read is that when you go to buy a vehicle it's good to be friendly and have a good rapport with the seller. Don't have the attitude that you're spending money so the vendor has to worship you. Once you build a good relationship the vendor would treat you well. For me I am happy and impressed with Danny and with Car Spot UK.

Do not use this dealer they lie. I was told I would get £100 trade in only to be bullied into accepting only £75. Was told the mechanic had just repaired the heater for it to break the next day! Was told they cant do anything as no mechanic there! They give you 6 months rac warranty so they can claim on it when there bodge jobs go wrong.... well do not take it back to them, take it anywhere else so they don't get the money. No parcel shelf even though was told there was one. Was told the coolant had been filled after spotting it was on empty only to drive home and find it hadnt been! Car now has a handbrake fault.....only had the car a week! Avoid at all costs god only knows how dangerous the car is!

Stay away from this Car Spot UK or CardDeals4U, as they are now called. Once they get your money they don't give a monkey about unresolved problems with the car. In fact they can be quite aggressive and have terrible tel manners. I'm about to take them to court and also informed the Trading Standards. Overall, bad experience and completely unreliable! AVOID!

Car developed a fault on the way from garage home. They did not want to know, cost £800 to repair car. I took them to court won but still no money. They change there name every 10 months, court case is against different garage they have a loop hole and use it to get out of any tpe of issue. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS GARAGE

STAY AWAY. WORST experience in my life. i bought a VW Scirocco from here and he lied about the service history claiming it was full service history. I tried to contact the guy many many times in regards to the service history but he never answers once the sale has been made. I rang Volkswagen and they said it only has one stamp! The guy is called 'Danny' and is a complete fraud and hope he gets arrested for scamming people. I have email proof he blackmailed me to take down my previous comment. Initially he comes across as a family person, but i really hope someone frauds his son just like he scammed me and then he'll realise he shouldn't lie to people and sell them cars that do not work. So far i have paid 1200 to fix this car and another bill of 750 is expected. He just needs to get taught a lesson.
