I’d been out all day looking at cars and hadn’t found anything I liked. We were heading home when we decided to pop into LMC on the off chance, and I’m glad I did. I spotted a Ford Fiesta and bought it within about two minutes. Picked it up the next day. The customer service was great as everything was quick, easy and no faffing around. .

The guys at LMC were really busy when I went in to buy my Focus, but were still as good as gold. I'd definitely return/recommend.

I'm really happy with the car I chose but honestly, even happier with the service I got from Paul at LMC. He was brilliant & just made everything so easy and stress-free. You could tell he genuinely cared and I’d buy another car from him in a heartbeat. Definitely a 5/5 from me!

Purchased the car on Friday afternoon and drove it home. Charger lead was missing but they said they'd order me one for Monday. Got home and went to move car to get on my drive and it was completely dead. Called them 9am Monday morning to tell them I was calling someone out to replace the battery as I was supposed to be travelling on Friday night. No meaningful apology. I then received a call back asking to be informed of the price of the call out, which they told me was too much! They offered absolutely no solution to me and demonstrated no desire to fix my issue and said they would have a solution for Monday....even though my car couldn't be moved. I live 15 miles away from the garage, but there was no offer for anyone to come and attend. The RAC attended and replaced the battery. It was completely dead and not taking any charge, the mechanic stated that had they checked the vehicle before sale they would have known that. I forwarded on the invoice asking for reimbursement and a relevant amount of compensation for the loss of my weekend away and the time taken to resolve it MYSELF. It is now 11am Monday, No call to see if the car is now okay, no reply to my email asking for reimbursement etc.....after the sale, the service has been truly awful. Avoid.

I recently contacted LMC after seeing a car online & ended up buying the car without actually seeing it in person. Paul Phillips was extremely helpful, answered all of my questions & kept me updated throughout the process from purchase to delivery. I have to admit I can be quite impulsive & it was only after I had paid that I read some of the reviews & I have to say if I had read them before I probably would not have dealt with LMC however based on my own experience I am very happy with the service I received & absolutely love my new car.

I bought a car from these a good 5 years ago. This is a long term review of my gradual findings. 2 months in I'd found I'd had a faulty glow plug module and faulty bonnet struts. Warrantee covered the module and replacement battery (under protest - I load tested it immediately after purchase, failed), along with a failing aux belt. I then find evidence that the vehicle was an ex taxi, which would've broke the deal, while inspecting it. Overpriced a bit and they were reliant on selling me the finance I needed. Which was massively oversold adding another £1200 to a £6000 car, which when valued should've been a £5000 tops vehicle being just under 100k on the clock. I was also pushed for a deposit quite quick "someone else was interested in it and you need to secure it today" I got picked up in the vehicle so glow plug module fault was hidden, but in a way, they were doing me a favour picking me up allowing me to test drive it en route to the yard. Despite the massive oversell, the hidden faults and the unable to cold start the car, LMC were friendly, accommodating and reasonable. Naturally because I was financing the vehicle I couldn't offer any lower than what they were asking. While I waited for the finance to be sorted, I had a look through their inventory, a decent stock of vehicles at the time. I wasn't in a high pressure up sell situation and was made to feel welcome. I get I may have been "not the ideal customer" because I literally wanted THAT car, with nothing much else in my pocket but a drip fed wage. When quizzed about the vehicle specifics, the salesman couldn't really help me, kind of left me to do my homework, which I quickly learned and performed all maintenance myself over the vehicles 5 year life. It was scrapped out of choice, as Mercedes begins to be a money pit with nearly 80k added over it's life.
