Constant issues from the moment we drove the car away engine light came on. Water pump went , electric windows all stopped working radio was faulty Then after a few thousand miles the engine fately died, despite full service history. Contacted garage and manager was completely uninterested and hung up on us
Got some good feedback for a friend who bought a car. Great garage, excellent service, good little salesman.

Stay away from this garage. My dad paid over the odds for a car that should really be scrapped. Taken back a number of times for different things which were never actually fixed. Absolute Joke.

Exactly the same type of issues I even got the finance company involved but these cowboys got away with it Car now scrapped
Bought a Ds3 on finance. Bloke was great. Engine light came on which they tried to fix. Kept coming on and they kept saying they had fixed it. They had the car more than me. Handed it back and had a nightmare getting finance cancelled with him. He became very rude and obnoxious. STAY AWAY. same car is back on sale for more. Black citroen ds3

My teenage son bought a car here, totally taken advantage of! The faults/ repairs were botched up, quick fixes. It came with no parcel shelf but with the promise that one was on order - over a year later and still nothing. Telephone calls aren’t returned, There’s far better small businesses out there - go elsewhere!

Keep away, this garage is a disgrace to the motor trade. Please keep away!! 6 weeks ago we bought a 2010 Micra for daughters 1st car. It came with a years MOT with no advisories. We were sold a dangerous car that shouldn't have been on the road.Here is the list of things that have gone wrong it - 2 rear wheels leaking air out of the sidewalls so the tyres were going flat in days, exhaust blown, ABS light on, starter motor needed replacing. Took it back to Dunelm and their mechanic was 'off' for 3 weeks. Finally got them to have a look at it and they replaced the exhaust and put inner-tubes in the rear wheels. They never fixed the ABS warning light, they said they didn't know anything about it (they did). 4 days later car wouldn't start, the starter motor had gone. Took car to a reputable garage who are going to get the car roadworthy for us. They were outstanded by Dunelms bodge jobs, including the 'new' exhaust which was leaking dangerous amounts of fumes into the cabin. The reviews here on Google are correct, these people are cowboys and shouldn't be trading. When speaking about it to the old man who works there he said 'I'm a salesman, not a mechanic' Trading standards and the Ombudsman have been informed. They are cowboys! Do not buy a car from these crooks.

Had the same problem. Took out a loan for our son which he is paying back. Multiple faults with car. 3 month warranty not honoured on anything. The owner is rude and only responds to select messages, if at all. Service was also not done because we took car to separate garage who picked up on dangerous faults. This would mean that the MOT would also have been dodgy because it would not have passed based on faults!! So angry.
Both Billy and Colin were excellent. They were very very professional, extremely helpful and friendly through the whole car purchasing process. They were not in the least bit "pushy" and couldn't do enough to satisfy me as a customer. Highly recommended
