"Excellent car and sales service"

I bought a BMW 120D cabrio 2013 reg early December 2021, drove it home from Nottingham to North Hampshire and thereafter to Cornwall and back. This is an excellent car that at 55k mileage is effectively brand new at 1/4 the price it cost new (taking inflation into account). The service provided by Tom the salesman was spot on he even notified me that the 2nd key fob was showing a yellow battery warning that would probably go away after driving for a bit which it did. Ideal are serious car dealers that specialize in low mileage, high end vehicles that is evident when taking a tour of their storage facilities.

"AVOID!!!"

Resolving issues

Bought a car, wheel nearly fell off when driving. First they said they don’t touch wheels, someone else then said they did. The wrong bolts were on the alloys, took blame initially for the wrong bolts but then once realised the alloy and hub had been mis shaped due to this (costing me £1100) they refused to pay and said this wasn’t their fault. Absolutely disgraceful to deal with. I emailed a formal complaint and didn’t even have the audacity to respond. We will be going to the local papers and all social media platforms now to expose this company. DO NOT BUY ANY CARS FROM HERE!!!!

Bought a car from this company and it didnt even make it 10 miles away from their premises. They are rude and arrogant to deal with. Took them to small claims court to recover costs I occured by buying the vehicle and they agreed in mediation to pay back half the costs. I never received a penny. They are dishonest and liars. All their cars are bought at action and they havent a clue any background of any vehicle. AVOID!!!!

I bought a faulty car from them, the problem surfaced a month after the purchase and I'm still chasing them, a year later (!!!) to have it fixed or returned!! They ignore every single approach. Avoid them for your own good

"Beware!"

Beware of this car dealer-bought a BMW 320d last year-within 2 months the timing chain broke.At first they said the warranty was only valid for 1 month on cars with over 100,000 miles,even though the"salesman" told me 3 months. They refused to pay the repair costs,saying the car should have been returned to them(Devon to Nottingham)but as I had been lied to on several occasions I wasn't happy about them collecting the car. They then instructed solicitors and I went to arbitration(waste of time!) They offered £500,then £300 and then nothing! Use another dealer is my advice.
