We had a MOT done by them on the 11th April it was part of a package we purchased when buying the car last year, it did pass its test but one of the dust caps on the wheel was jammed and we could not get it off I did ask the Mot tester to have a look he put WD40 on as he could not unscrew it, I then took it to a local tyre repair shop for them to do and replace the valve BUT when checking each tyre they found three of the valves were badly damaged and one fell into two parts when taken off the tyre, this should have been picked up when doing the Mot as I was told. I did make a call to the Carshop Swindon to be told to send in pictures of the damaged valves which I did to get a email back saying!!! Quote the issue is very low and when on the car without fiddling around with either valves it isn’t certain that this could have been seen and that is the email that came back!! , even though we have paid for the Mots I will definitely not be going back to them, I will be going back to our garage that we have used for many years. Unsatisfactory and very disappointing.

My husband and I just came around today thinking to just have a look around and enquire if we could trade our car for a new one. We met Mike who was very kind and told us everything that we needed to hear and without any doubts we closed the deal. We were than sent to Nathan in accounts I shall say who was very re-assuring and made everything we thought was impossible possible🫶💯Despite the fact that it was past the time they had to go home, he kept re-assuring us that today will be the day we will drive the new car home. We are so glad to be served with these 2 gentlements who made our wishes come true. Thank you

I bought a car today but despite telling the salesman many times that I didn’t want extra cover for breakdown/paint/loss of value he persisted in trying to sell me stuff and kept asking why I was refusing. Made quite a big decision a lot more stressful.

Ŵe reserve a çar when we arrived. Met ahsan who was very helpful and friendly and professional and knowledgeable. They all were a great help . Ahsan done a great job looking after us.
We purchased a vehicle in March 2022. In September, the car failed whilst I had my 3 children in the car. No ABS, no headlights, no chassis control - nothing. I got the car home, and it was completely fine next morning. Thinking it was a blip, we waited and it happened again, with 3 children. So we asked Car Shop to look at it. They did. Nothing wrong with it. Ok great. Now fast forward to November and I'm stuck on half term, with a car that doesn't even start!!! Car shop are telling me to take it to another garage, that will allow the warranty claim to be put through. I'm sorry, my warranty is with you. You found nothing last time, well great, but with the car now being dead, you can quite easily recover my vehicle and attempt the diagnosis again. But NO. I don't even want the vehicle anymore. I want them to take the defective one back and I will take my £17,500 cash back. Absolute disgusting service. You should be ashamed.

Bought a golf and after a few weeks noticed an issue with the brakes. Contacted after care and was told to talk it to Halfords for a know appraisal. Was told no issue abs subsequently a few months later the car has failed its MOT on brakes… now Carshop are failing to respond to any calls or messages despite the fact I have an extended warranty avoid this like new way of selling cars

I am really disappointed to write this review as think that this place got potential and perhaps we have been unlucky. However I feel I need to warn other buyers. Our experience was not best to say the least. First view of the car some sensors came up with faults,car was not cleaned in and out,buttons not working. We were apologised and promised this will be all rectified. Came after few days,this was our second visit and travel 40 miles there and back. Sit in the shop for 5 hrs for paperwork to be sorted ,no drink offered as all the machines were broken apparently. Through the selling process we have been pushed to take Gradex service for £300 extra, that would cover the car with special protection in and out and was promised it will be valeted before. After 2h waiting we finally got the car, jumped straight in trusting all is sorted to go back home as nearly closing time for the shop. While driving back the chemicals smells make me sick and after arrival at home and inspection they covered all the dirt and dust with this protection product. The car was not valeted at all. We have registered the complaint but no one came back. So for whoever buy from this place do not get fooled for those extra products they offer,and there are loads,if I was not working in insurance I would probably been convinced to take all of those extra products but I can only assume how other perform looking at this simple valet service. Very disappointed indeed

Reserved a car, been waiting since Monday for them to sort the necessary documents so i can collect the car as arranged on the Saturday, it is now Thursday and i am no further with this than i was last weekend. Nathan was off for 2 days and nothing could be sorted in his absence by any other business managers. Every other business manager is always "to busy". Always promised a call back, never received one in over 5 promised. seems they have enough staff to deal with new customers but anyone who has already paid is no longer a priority. If this is the customer service when buying a car i couldn't imagine what the service would be like if there was issues with the car after driving away. Would not recommend if you want a stress free experience.
I bought the car of my dreams 😍 Consultant Marshall she was very kind and let me choose what I wanted I was not forced and that's what I really liked. Nathan Rimmer was very kind to us and explained very well what I expect in the future 😁I did not like it very much when I had to wait a very long time to do all the necessary documents to be able to leave safely 😁But Nathan Rimmer took care not to get too bored 😉The truth is that the car was not well cleaned inside 😒Otherwise everything was ok and I hope that I will not have problems with my new car that I adore 😍

Shamefully still withholding my money! The sales agents want nothing to do with any complaints, returns. The teams don’t have any consistent policies. The car was grubby, missing mats, and I spent the hour collecting it being sold all sorts of products despite informing them I was on a tight timeline for collection. Back and forth three times trying to sell me something which eventually made me late for an appointment. I returned the car as I didn’t feel it was worth what was paid and it had been such a rush in the collection. Eventually they accepted the return after a lot of insistence (I had been told I could do so within 14 days) but I am still waiting for my full refund. After days of chasing after only receiving a part- payment I was told that they were holding back £599 until I returned the V5. This wasn’t communicated at all during the return process and I was told I could keep it as they would deregistered the car. I ended up having to spend a further afternoon returning it on the promise I would receive an immediate payment. I’m still waiting for it! The processes are not clear, the team don’t seem trained, the pressure is on the team to sell all sorts of policies. This has been a terrible experience and I’m afraid I can’t recommend this dealership. Even when chasing for payments the guy I dealt with ( a manager!) was cocky and unapologetic!
