Just wanted a run around for a short period that was reliable. As I was purchasing the car from Australia sight unseen this was going to be fun!!! Well northern folk are genuine and as my in-laws are from a town close by I used my instinct. Lucky the car and buying from andrew was a pleasant one . He described the car and not expecting anything too Fabulous and for the money I was paying no body would . However the car turn out better than I’d expected and was fun to drive and pulled like a train as described by Andrew. He keep the car for me as I’d seen it and decided to advance purchase ahead of my arrival. The day before I arrived he’d arranged details for me with all book worked done a 3 month warranty in place and help with getting in on road for me . All very nice and a pleasure to deal with . I would recommend dealing with andrew . Thank you for a reliable and cheap car to start us on our journey. Cheers Andrew

A word of warning about Andrew from Hand Picked Cars North West. This man cannot be taken at his word! I assisted my elderly parents find a car and we found what appeared to be a good option from Hand Picked Cars North West (a one-man dealership owned by Andrew). Just to provide some reassurance, they took up the recommended warranty that Andrew suggested at around £200 extra. Weeks later, the promised policy documents were nowhere to be seen. Multiple phone calls and emails to Andrew and multiple assurances by Andrew that he would attend to it (when he clearly never did until REALLY pressured) ensued. Finally, the policy document arrived. We thought, "Great! We can move on!" However, about 2 weeks ago, there was a problem that needed attention. My parents contacted the warranty provider (Warranty Wise) only to be told the policy had lapsed because the policy (that my parents had paid Andrew for) had not been paid to them. So Andrew pocketed the £200 that was meant to pay for the warranty. As far as I am aware, that's fraud! Andrew is FULL of excuses and reasons why he shouldn't be blamed. Now he's blaming Warranty Wise & Covid! Come on! You pocketed the money Andrew - that's not Warranty Wise's fault or the virus' fault! And he's promising to pay back the £200 (I'll believe it when I see it) but that's not going to help too much if the bill to fix the car is £1200 is it Andrew?! I've seen a number of positive reviews for him, and I guess if all goes well, then he's fine but our experience is that he's the kind of car salesman that deserves the reputation! Slippery as an eel and keeps promising to do this and that and literally NEVER does it. Seriously - if you have 2 cars on your shortlist and one is from Andrew, buy the other one! This guy is not to be trusted.

This Andrew is a nice guy but when it goes wrong will not want to know. He sold us a great car which unfortunately on arrival had two faults which Andrew promised to have fixed, one was leaking fuel all over the road, which was dangerous, the other was a faulty locking mechanism. We agreed not to return the car but that we would get it fixed locally, this took us time, money and logistical difficulties. We saved some expense by sourcing the parts from eBay. On providing an invoice this was met with numerous promises to pay. As yet we still haven’t received our money for the repairs totalling £295. We are seeking legal advice. AVOID Hand Picked Cars in Wigan.

"Bad aftercare "

I purchased a car from Hand Picked Cars in Wigan last year. After having the car checked by a local garage they said the car wasnt roadworthy and that it needed a lot of work done on it. When I went back to Hand Picked Cars they were refusing to do any repairs until I threatened to take further action. They were very good at selling the car and during the sale they couldn't be more helpful but the after sales has really let them down.
