Really good experience with Fairdown Car Sales. I am very pleased with my Ford Fiesta. I have had it for 6 months now and I have only had one issue with it which unfortunately wasn't covered under the warranty but other than that it's been perfect. The dealers were very happy to help and the car was a very good price. I felt comfortable talking money with them and The whole experience was stress free. I would recommend this dealership to my family and friends.

I would definitely recommend this dealership! The dealers at Fairdown Car Sales were brilliant! Really helpful and friendly. I bought a Ford fiesta in June and up to now I have had no issues with it at all. The car was immaculate when I received it and the value for money is great. I am very impressed

Would not recommend buying from this garage. The vehicle should never have been given an MOT and was not in a safe roadworthy condition. I have spent in excess of £600 putting the problems right and also endangering mine, my families and other road users lives. On test driving I wasn't happy with the brakes and was promised they would be replaced. When I drove off the forecourt the fuel light was showing. Not a great beginning. I had nothing but problems with the brakes and lots of front end noise. When braking the steering wheel was like holding a pneumatic drill. I had to replace the front brakes, one problem solved. Was informed the tyres were low and illegal so off to tyre centre and a further £200 spent.. They picked up a further problems. The first being the rear near side drum, one of the bolts was so worn it was slipping in the hole and had been like it apparently for a very long time, so a further £220 spent. They also picked up the fact that the strut that joins onto shock absorber was barely bolted on, thank god the guy there found it and sorted it FOC. Still the front end noise was there which turned out to be front wheel bearing. If the car had been checked and serviced properly as well as like I was promised new brakes fitted before I took ownership of this vehicle the other problems should have been picked up. As for the tyres it doesn't even mention on the MOT the remaining depth of the tyre tread. Well I wonder why that was !! I feel absolutely sick that these people could sell such a dangerous car and let someone drive off in it. It's disgusting. In 40 years of driving and owning cars I have never had such a bad experience

THIS REVIEW IS OF CONCERN TO US, AS AT NO TIME SINCE COLLECTION HAS THE CUSTOMER RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US, WITH THE ALLEGED FAULTS AS WE WOULD EXPECT A CUSTOMER TO DO WE STRONGLY DENY ALL HER ALLEGATIONS AND INSINUATIONS THAT WE PUT 'DODGY' MOTS ON OUR VEHICLES, AS THESE ARE COMPLETED INDEPENDENTLY OF OUR GARAGE THE CAR LEFT OUR GARAGE WITH A 12 MONTH MOT AND A SERVICE, AND WAS, LIKE ALL OF OUR VEHICLES, SUBJECT TO A THREE MONTHS WARRANTY PERIOD WHICH WE COVER OURSELVES IF THIS LADY HAD THE FAULTS SHE SUGGESTS, THEN I AM SURPRISED SHE DID NOT RETURN THE VEHICLE TO US

Had a great experience with this garage. Very helpful no pressure sales from their salesman and the car was prepared quickly for me . The price was very reasonable compared to other local garages. Had a minor issue with the car a week after purchase and it was dealt with really quickly for me and without fuss,even though it was not covered by the warranty was fixed free of charge Would definitely recommend. It was nice to get a good service - Fairdown Car Sales exceeded my expectations. I will definitely go back to them again and would recommend them to anyone

Had a great experience with this garage, so much so my daughter has since purchased a car from there too. Very helpful no pressure sales from their salesman and the car was prepared quickly for me as my old one had been written off. The price was very reasonable compared to other local garages. Had a minor issue with the car a month after purchase and it was dealt with really quickly for me and without fuss. Would definitely recommend. It was nice to get a good service - Fairdown Car Sales exceeded my expectations.

I bought my car from Fairdown Car Sales in January 2015, and was given a new MOT on it, was fine for 4 to 5 months, then started having problems. A trip to the garage after hearing a knocking noise revealed an anti roll bar problem, £134 later and with the car back noise still persisted. A further total overall check has revealed many more problems that should have been picked up at the MOT stage when we initially bought it, nearly £1,000 worth of work required to put it right, should never have passed the MOT with some of the problems, which should have been evident then. Have been advised the car is not roadworthy, and the worrying thing is we have had our grandchildren in the car. Now avoid using it where we can and take public transport, walk or rely on lifts, and in the position of having to look for another car. Avoid as garage owner has pointed me towards VOSA and was not very helpful at all.

Unknown from Fairdown Car Sales (Closed Down) in response to unhappy with Fairdown Car Sales

This vehicle was collected by the customer on the 2nd January 2015. I had no contact from the customer until 20th August 2015 who then informed me that their 'mechanic' alleged that this vehicle should not have passed its MOT 8 months previously. The customer has stated that their mechanic diagnosed a knocking noise from the anti-roll bar bushes and replaced these at a cost of £134, but the problem was not rectified. Clearly the issue was misdiagnosed by their 'mechanic'. We told the customer that we sell approximately 250 vehicles per year and all of our cars are MOTd independently of ourselves and we have never had a complaint previously. Having spoken to various MOT testers about this issue, the mechanic's claims that the vehicle was not roadworthy 8 months ago is quite frankly ludicrous as no mechanic would be able to know what a car was like 8 months previously. I am also unaware of how many miles the customer has driven in the vehicle during that time. All I could suggest to the customer at the time was to contact VOSA directly as I had nothing to hide and this was the only course of action that I could helpfully suggest, 8 months after purchase.
