"Dishonest, bad business practices, avoid"

Dishonest, stereotypical car salesmen tactics. Avoid at all costs. Just Motor Group Preston take the “dishonest salesman” trope and run with it. From outright lying, to the ‘ol “let me talk to my manager” schtick. My introduction to “Kam” in their sales team was when he lied to me to get me to come in. I spoke to him in the morning to confirm that a vehicle had a 5 year warranty on it, and that it was provided at no extra cost. Kam confirmed this, twice. I then made the 1.5 hour journey (leaving a newborn at home with the missus) only to sit in his office and be told that the warranty was 2 years! So, off the bat I’ve been lied to and lost 3 years warranty from what I expected. I never would have gone down if he was honest, but whatever gets the customer in the chair ey Kam? So from 5 years on the phone, down to 2 years in the chair, then all of a sudden down to 1?! Make up your mind fellas. The next three hours of my life were spent haggling with Kam and his manager, Mark, to try and recuperate some sort of deal. To put into perspective just how frustrating they are to deal with, it took hours of haggling for them to even agree to replace MOT advisory tires. Mind you this was on a £13,000 car. We eventually came to no deal as they refused to fix the rear driver’s side rusted & pitted break drum, despite Kam (the one and only) telling me that it “would be taken care of”. Tired of being lied to, I walked away from the car. Altogether I can’t recommend Just Motor Group Preston. Their sales team will do anything to get you in that chair, even to go as far as lying to you. They’ll then continue this dishonesty and do whatever they can to sell you a car, unless what you want is for them to honor their word. PS: No amount of animosity or bad air between you and Kam could get in the way of him trying to sell you a top coat or service plan. He’ll try anyway. He'll even go as far as filling the portion of their FCA order page in as though you've asked for it, despite you insisting that you don't want it, promising that when you go to do the handover he'll make sure it's declined. Speaking of FCA regulatory checklists, don't think you'll get a chance to read the thing, Kam is kind enough to speed through it and check items for you! The absolute cheek.

I enquired about a Citroen C4 5 months old , when i phoned to book a test drive he said am i thinking of having it on the day of which i replied i was just thinking about it today, , the sales guy come accross as nice, it took me the best part of 30 mins to get my part exchange price up to what other people was saying it is worth, and i stated that i really did not want to get rid of my car , it was hard to do so, but he kept on saying if we give you £9000 for your car have we a deal and i felt presured to say yes , on that note i said i would go and get my card for the deposit in my car and due to the immense presure i was put under i drove of, i could not cope with deciding there and then, I really needed time to think about this as £22,000 is alot of money if i make the wrong choice, and to be booked in for 4pm in the pitch dark to view a car is not really the best idea, i called them back a couple of days later stating that i would like to buy the car, stating that i felt under presure and that i am bi polar and just could not cope at that moment in time , and he said as i am bi polar i am not in my own mind to make decisions which is totally outragous and i thought i went to a car dealership not a doctors office for medical evaluation, i would say that they are being discrimatory to a disabled person stating a comment without any facts about my mental health and will be taking this furthur with Disablity awareness , he stated to me due to my mental health i should buy a car from somewhere else , Im glad i did not give any money over if that is how Just Citroen Preston treats its customers with disabilitys , stating that they are not fit to make decisions, there after care must be appaling, he wanted me to sign away £22,000 there and then , the best thing i did is get in my car and drive of, ive never had a problem with any other garages, and this review is to identify that customers are trated as mentally deranged . also, i nearly forgot that he was charging me £21995 when i have a screenshot of the advert of £21495 so who was the one playing on mental health, Ive been in contact with Disability Rights UK and Citroen Head office of which Disability Rights want me to send them all the details, its not fair that they treat people with conditions any different.

Richard Gibson from Just Citroen Preston in response to cant buy here your disabled

Hi Nathan, Thank you for your review. It brings with it some extremely concerning points and serious accusations. I would like to address these for you. Having spoke to the team member involved who is an extremely valued member of the team and has never received a complaint of this nature before, he has explained to me that in fact you did leave unannounced and turned your phone off and refused to take our calls after claiming to go and get your bank card as your review suggests. However, we most certainly do not and have not ever pressured people into anything. If anything, my understanding is that you were the one applying pressure to give you a valuation for your car of £9,000 despite the car not being worth that to us. The Sales Executive simply asked you “If I get to where you want to be, are you looking to go ahead and purchase the vehicle?” As a Sales Executive, this is his job. We have at this stage presented you with figures, you are asking for more for your part exchange and ultimately, he is going to have to speak to his manager to ascertain if we can go to that figure. His manager is understandably going to ask, “Is that what we need to do to get his business?” and the Sales Executive is required to know this information. The reason for this is that if you had explained you weren’t ready to buy the car for any other reason, he would have simply requested that you do what you need to do and answered any outstanding questions you may have before asking about your part exchange. At this point you have the option of answering “Yes I’ll buy it, or “No because I need to think about/check insurance costs/speak to someone etc”. Nobody pressured you into anything and as a company who have a huge level of repeat customers that have bought several vehicles off us, the information within your review is simply not factual. With regards to your comments about disabilities. We have three locations, representing five manufacturers which are all staffed by people trained to deal with Motability. Part of this training is based on handling customers with various disabilities whether it be mental or physical and as a result, we have a lot of customers with a range of disabilities who have purchased several vehicles from us and credited us with the way in which we have looked after them. We do however have a duty of care to ensure that anybody purchasing a vehicle is of sound mind and fully understands the agreement that they are entering. Your actions have caused the team members to question this and have therefore requested that you don’t proceed with the purchase. I think its fair to say that anyone taking advantage of someone with disabilities would have done quite the opposite and taken the persons money with no thought or interest as to whether it’s the right decision for them. I note your comments about the price of the vehicle and would like to make you aware that our vehicle prices are researched on a daily basis. They are sometimes reduced and sometimes increased at various stages to ensure that our cars offer the most competitive pricing in the market place. Again, building confidence in how we look after our customers. Had you raised this query, we would have allowed you to carry out the purchase at the lower price. Finally, I note that of the 87 reviews you have left on Google, the vast majority of them are 1 star. In addition to this, in the last month you have reviewed three totally separate car dealerships and all of them have been one star which leads me to believe that perhaps the dealerships aren’t the problem. We are a privately owned company who are trying to make an honest living in a crowded marketplace. Your review and comments are totally inaccurate, and if anything, reassure us that you are not someone that we wish to transact with. I wish you the best of luck in the search for your new car. (Although you appear to be running out of dealerships)

Had our Hyundai ioniq 5 in for its first service . Excellent service by all staff, they were quick and efficient, mechanic Michael Mackie even sent a video showing us what they had done which we found very informative. I would recommend this garage to anyone. Well done and thanks to you all.

Went to see a DS5 DSPORT, Lookers Preston description included every conceivable extra. The car was a Blue HDI Dsport with the basic standard accessories and 26 miles on the clock which the dealer never knew. We struck a reasonable deal BUT between purchase and delivery they removed the car mats and a fusebox cover, they could not even fit the wheel hubs correctly which I spotted before falling off. I contacted the dealership "Oh yes sorry" "will rectify" "In the post" 1 month later and several calls later nothing. The Old phrase comes to mind "Once we get the money sod off". Shame a great car pity about the dealership. I would not recommend this Lookers dealership in Preston on Flyde Road
