"Terrible aftercare "

I give it the one star because a few people I spoke to at the centre tried their best to help, otherwise it'd be a zero if I had the option. Start to finish of the process was awful. 1) Bought a car which was at the Wakefield centre, they transferred it to Manchester, didn't call to let me know. I drove all the way to Wakefield only to drive all the way back to Manchester 2) Online valuation of my part exchange quoted £3180 - guaranteed as it stated on the website. When I got there, they claimed it was £1000 less because it had had 3 previous owners. The sales agent managed to offer me some additions to increase the value to £2750, which I was grateful for, even though it was £430 less than quoted. No bother, I'll carry on 3) I buy the car to use as taxi, get it insured at £187, which is £137 more expensive than my private insurance, take it for Taxi Licensing test, and turns out the bonnet release system is faulty. Already, I have to pay an extra £60 to rebook the test. I call carshop, they promise to call me back from the branch, no one calls. The next day, I call again chasing, they promise to call again, no one calls. At this point, I get frustrated, call them on the third day, and they ask me to bring the car into the centre. This is on 18th February. I get a call later on saying the car will be repaired on 2nd March! This is a full month where I'm unable to work, but having to pay £137 extra business insurance (my private insurance was £50, taxi is £187), £280 for the car, plus £60 retest fee that I lost. Again, instead of abandoning the car as I was still within my 14-day window, I tried to be positive. Asked for the £137 insurance difference and £60 retest to be covered by carshop as they're responsible for making me lose business, but no! They won't pay the insurance difference. I'm offered £60. This is a total extra £500+ jumping out of my account which should have been covered by taxi income should the car not have been faulty, but I'm offered 60 quid. I have made a decision to not abandon what I've started, but for you thinking about it, I've seen better. Evans Halshaw, Arnold Clark, anywhere else but carshop.

Carshop Manchester have all of the emails and RAC/Assurant reports, the warranty and service plans arn't worth the paper. Carshop expect me to pay £1000 for their mistakes. They don't want to take responsibility. I've been without a car a month now. Diabolical service. They offered £350 towards cost.. bloody insulting!

"MINUS 5 STARS"

If there was a minus 5 stars, then I would rate the Carshop Manchester and the group in general this. The whole experience was soured by their lack of after sales support which in truth was none existent. Nobody in the management team who sell you the cars answer or return your calls you are left to deal with a call centre in a different city, who just give you the corporate line via emails. I can honestly say it was the worst car buying experience we have had in all the years we have purchased new and nearly new cars. I would never again use them or any of the Sytner Group outlets if this is how they deal with customers once they have taken your money. The car we bought was not a cheap or old car just 12 months old and cost just over 20K.

Bought a 2017 Mazda 6 from Manchester with a faulty differential. Took car in to be fixed at Warrington was told it was 4 loose wheel nuts?!?! Absolute rubbish! Had the car in a proper garage 10 days prior to carshoo looking at it and was told it was the differential. 3 weeks later back in the carshop Warrington on a Saturday had to ring customer services at half 5 for an update. Had to ring them back again Sunday after being promised I would gear from someone?? Diagnosis - Car has a faulty differential, who would have guessed? Had to take spare key to pick my car up as they had locked mine in a safe box and gone home for the weekend. Told car is safe to drive until they book it in at a specialist and they have no courtesy cars available. Still haven't had anyone ring me to fix my car, phone branches you get put through to customer services who don't do anything useful.

Chantel organised a full service and MOT on my car I had bought from the Car Shop Manchester, a few weeks earlier. Chantel made sure everything was done and informed me about any problems that aroused. She was very helpful and acted in a professional manner. Nothing was too much trouble, thank you.
