Do not buy a car from this garage! They are perfect in the beginning but as soon as you take the car away reality sets in, i was informed my car had passed a brand new MOT (Done by them obviously) I know nothing what so ever about cars and trusted what they were telling me was 100% accurate in that the car was in perfect condition. It was not... at all Within one month it had the following problems Engine Coolant leak Failed Hand Break Cracked Radiator (which was causing the coolant leak they had apparently fixed) They replaced the Radiator after it broke down ESP Warning light they told me that this was down to an electrical sensor and i had to wait for their electrician to come in (who is never there) The car only got worse so after a few months i had the car checked over by a main dealer who told me to drive it at my own risk they informed me to drive it at my own risk and it was unfit for the road I have returned the car and informed trading standards

Called in to look at the cars after seeing some great adverts on Facebook as I’m never off it .greated me on forecourt and I had loads of questions.the salesman put me at ease and came up with an affordable finance package.mot at all pushy and very knowledgeable .the choice is brilliant and I’m also speaking to my mate as he’s looking for something too and chat to my other half. Well worth the visit to Compact Cars in Bridgend.

I bought a car 12 months ago from Compact Cars and have spent a little over £5000 in repairs, it’s had the engine out of it twice for a dodgy timing chain which the car logged as a fault before it was sold to me, took it back several times to be told there was nothing wrong with it, after which I took it to a certified bmw specialist who told me it was unsafe to drive, to which the owner of compact cars told me we won’t do anything until the car breaks down because of the problem, baring in mind when the said problem happens the engine blows resulting in loss of braking and steering, this man is an absolute con artist who said he was happy for me to drive this car with children in, steer clear I now have a 7,000 pound that is undrivable and currently of the road

I must say that after buying many used cars over the years, these were a breath of fresh air. No stress no pushing just advice. I went to look at one car and after discussing my needs, was actually offered a lower value vehicle. In all my years of driving this is the first time I have experienced this. I pressed 4 stars by mistake it should be 10. Keep up the good work guys!! I’ll be back again Ronald
