"Avoid if you want good customer service "

If you want poor customer service, rudeness and lies this is the place to go. They said I would be there for no more than an hour but I was there 5 hrs, the car I bought was supposed to be ready to go, meaning it had been valeted and serviced, in the dark it looked ok but the next day when I checked over it there was stains on all the seats and food around the rear seat belt holders, the oil was just registering on the dip stick, the air filter was black not white and the oil filter was manky, I raised my issues with customer service and was offered £100 towards changing these parts local to me ( the cheapest oil & Filter change is £100 ).

"Absolutely terrible service received!"

Absolutely terrible service received! , Cartime’s after service + communication is either slow or non-existent, no matter how many times you call, email, send emails to managers and raise official complaints your messages will be ignored or fobbed off that you “will get a call back” which does not happen even with promises from manager that a call back will be held in 2-3 days. They do not hold their word or signature from what I have seen so far !. Unfortunately my car purchased from them had over £2000 of issues most of which I got sorted luckily by the manufacturer warranty, not to mention when picking up the car I found numerous cleanliness issues with it, i.e food in vents, food in armrests; I raised all of these issues to Cartime the following day after collecting the car, This was two weeks ago and I have been chasing them ever since, and to top it all off they have not given me my £100 holding deposit back or taken it off the price off the car on completing. I will be taking this review further. I am NOT happy with any of this at all.

I recently bought a kia optima from the bury branch and I found all the staff very polite and helpful, knowledgeable and they they couldn't do enough for me. Took the car for a test drive with Paul on the Sunday and drove away with the car Monday evening after signing up for the finance and the car had been valeted inside and out. Would recommend this dealership to anyone!

"Did not return deposit"

They have made sure to not supply an email address and also try to get the deposit on the phone. They are ignoring my emails after the viewing and it clearly states on their website that the deposit is fully refundable if you do not like the car. I have no choice but to report them to FCA.

"Worst experience probably in my life "

Do NOT deal with Andy Glover. I’ll just start with that. He sold me a car which was faulty to which the police were arriving to my house due to the fault. After threatening the motor ombudsman they agreed to swapping my car. I am very fortunate to own a private Reg - they sold the car I returned with my private registration plate on and 18 months later I STILL don’t have my plate assigned to my car. Rather than sorting this out they have blocked my email address, IMAGINE blocking someone rather than sorting it. I cannot stress enough how much everyone needs to avoid cartime. They are rude, unprofessional, *creepy* and will do anything to make a quick sale, rip you off and leave you to pick up the prices. AVOIS

"VERY UNTRUSTWORTHY CAR DEALER."

HI ALL, BE VERY AWARE OF THIS DEALER AFTER A VERY POOR BUYING EXPERIENCE FROM THEM COMING 200 MILES FOR A MAZDA CX5 , A WEEK LATER I FOUND OUT THE RECORDED MOT MILEAGE WAS TOTALLY INCORRECT OVER 3 MOTs BY OVER 8000 MILES. THEY SHOULD HAVE REVEALED THIS ISSUE AND SORTED . I FEEL I HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF AND THIS DEALER SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS.

Wish I Could Give 0 Stars. Took my car as part exchange, then put it up for £6000 profit. Sold me a vehicle which I went into negative equity for because the deal they gave me didn't cover my vehicle. Sold knowingly with an MOT failure, the paint was terrible which I wasn't able to see when I picked it up due to the weather (dark & raining) the vehicle had rust inside the arches, bonnet, and side skirts too, and had to jump start 3 times in 6 days of ownership, it was modified and sold to me without any disclosure of issues, mods, etc. The vehicle's top engine mount then broke, and the suspension was also replaced and done badly on one side, the vehicle is essentially a CAT N-S potentially. Broke down within 6 days and was declared unsafe to drive. They then made me pay to prove it was broken because they refused to take the car back for "cosmetic issues" The whole car was repainted, one side of the suspension was replaced and done badly because the bolts were done the wrong way round...But their salesman wanted to tell me they do a 200 point check when the car comes in.... I've lost money, time and I had to buy a new vehicle. Avoid this dealership, they have been nothing but scam artists for me

"Proceed with caution."

Proceed with caution. Saw an Insignia car for sale. Before I bought it, I checked with the salesman (Martin Travis) and, amongst other things, was told by him and his colleague it had a full service history available online. After I bought it, that turned out to be a lie. The sales Manager (Paul Corbin) checked with his team and they denied saying it had a full service history. So they are liars and when I asked for a refund they said "no". In addition, on their website, all cars "are sold in as new condition" and with "a full service and MOT if needed". That is also a lie. My car was supplied without a current service and with a faulty blind spot sensor on the off side mirror. After arguments, I returned the car for its much needed service. The service team argued that spark plugs were not part of the service, despite Paul Corbin agreeing to them. They also argued about checking for damage before I gave them the keys and returning the old parts to me so I could see what they had replaced. However, one of the service team took initiative and sorted things out... credit to this friendly chap! However, on collection, I checked and they had even put the wrong oil in. So, if you are buying from this company, remember that they cannot be trusted. Some of their staff are liars and some like to argue. Of course, that does not mean they are all the same. Make sure you research your car before you buy it, ensure everything you discuss and agree is recorded or put in writing and do not pay for it until you have a full, complete, unambiguous description of what you are buying. After that check, check and check again to ensure that everything they have agreed to has been done properly. I think this would have been a much better experience for me if the team I dealt with has been upfront to start with. I would not have bought this car but I may well have bought another.
