Avoid like the plague, terrible cars, no work has been done on them, rude when asking for money back without getting it
Mr Abid from Midlands Trade Centre Ltd in response to danmilko
Thanks for review, Yes, we are also an export centre and do also have old stock that is over 20 years old. Older vehicles including classics are being exported so no work is done on them.
Upon arrival, after a 480 mile drive, I was warmly greeted in a friendly atmosphere and offered much needed refreshments. The sprinter van was even better than expected, just as it had been described. Immaculately valeted, as are all their vehicles I saw, and ready to go. I was given the space to view the van in my own time. Traded in car for a fair price, bought van and drove it the 480 miles home, sweet as a nut. These are good guys, respected, recommended

Thanks for review.
I would not recommend this car garage to anyone at all. I went to see a Mondeo that Midlands Trade Centre had advertised on eBay as it looked really good and there website looked professional. When I called there office he said everything is excellent with it and has no problems, which sounded very trusting. But Once me and my boyfriend got there we saw it had an oil leak, 3 of tyres were clearly bold making it illegal to drive, and the airbag light was also lit up on dash (which the man there claimed just came on). Midlands Trade Centre wasted my time. Falsely advertised it to look appealing. I wouldn't trust them at all.

Thanks for review. This reviewer has also done reviews for 3 nearby garages. Same review.

If 3 of the tyres were bold, was the other one shy? I am bold myself, sorry I mean bald.
WENT TO SEE A CORSA THEY HAD UP FOR SALE AT MIDLANDS TRADE CENTRE LTD. I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE. VERY RUDE AND ARROGANT STAFF. I ASKED ABOUT WARRANTY. He said its sold as seen unless I purchase one. Which was in fact just a cheap worthless 3rd party cover with a £250 limit. Don't expect anything quality from these guys. When I was there another customer was also arguing with the sales guy too. IT APPEARS LIKE A PLACE THAT JUST HAS A NICE WEBSITE SO BE CAREFUL.
The car advertised was in poor condition with a cracked bumper which was strangely missed off on the advertised picture. The bumper was heavily damaged, however the salesman stated he could spray it over for one hundred pounds. The forecourt was just a scrapyard with damaged and poor quality cars. A wasted journey. Steer clear of Midlands Trade Centre.

Thanks for review. Nearly all our adverts contain maximum 20 pics showing all angels. We also send a video upon request in order to save customers journeys. Our yard is not a scrap yard. Yes, we also do sell older cars that are classics and export old vans.
This is my review for Midlands Trade Centre Ltd, Patrick Jones. Unless you have money to throw away I wouldn't bother buying anything from here. I would not have bothered writing this review but after reading other reviews that this company Midland Trade Centre Birmingham as its known keeps changing its name. I think its important for innocent consumers like myself to be very cautious. The website led me to believe they are a reputable long established company with 20 years in the trade experience. But far from it. As I didnt want to travel far I searched for a van for our business within a 20 mile radius. This company had the right Mercedes LWB that I was looking for and although it was priced slightly higher than other similar ones I thought its worth paying the extra for a quality van for my new business. Once I arrived to there forecourt (which in fact was just a yard filled with vehicles) I noticed it was rotten all under the chassis and both back arches were corroded but they had painted over it so it could not be seen in the pics. But still amazingly somehow it had a 12 months MOT on it. Straight away I knew this could not be right and questioned the authenticity of the MOT. Upon this the man got angry and said 'look if you don't want it, don't waste my time'. I assumed this was a dodgy MOT that was put on as no way could it have a 12 months MOT with so much Rot and rust deep within the body. And I dont know what other problems it may have had if I had test driven it. I told him I will be informing VOSA and Trading Standards as I've brought vehicles in the past but not seen anything like this. But the next day the advert vanished from there website. So just be very careful as these guys are clearly very deceptive and i wouldn't trust them with your money.
Mr Abid from Midlands Trade Centre Ltd in response to P Jones
Thanks for review. No we do not change our name. (you can check with companies house). Yes, we do sell over 15 year old sprinter vans that some will have rusty exteriors. The mot stations we use are all approved vosa stations and do not have a poor vosa record. We never advertise any vehicle as excellent condition unless it is under 5 years old and below 60,000 miles. Or if it is older and in very good condition. The older sprinter vans do have over 300,000 miles on them and are over 15 years old that are £2000. Sorry, if expectations are not met.
STAY AWAY FROM MIDLANDS TRADE CENTRE. I Have had a very bad experience with this company. The advert placed was very attractive and the salesman convinced me to pay a deposit to, which I did for a Vauxhall Zafira. Once I got there the car was in a mess. Two tyres were clearly bold. The car wouldn't start and needed a battery boost. The mileage was 5k more than stated on the ad. As I had travelled over 80 miles to get there, I still thought I would test drive it. And then was shocked to hear from the rude member of staff that he will only give a test drive if im definitely buying it. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and demanded I should be able to test drive it before I decide to proceed. He kept talking over me and saying sorry that's the policy. I thought this was absolutely ridiculous. At this stage I decided im not proceeding the sale as car was not as described and I just lost trust in there eager to make me buy it, so I demanded a deposit refund. To which I was refused and told they will get back to me. By now I just had enough and wanted to get out of there before I lost my temper and smacked him in the mouth. After this despite my phone calls to them to refund my deposit I still haven't received and now will be taking the matter to trading standards.
Mr Abid from Midlands Trade Centre Ltd in response to Mark Knight
Thanks for review. We offer test drives to all customers and there is no reason why a test drive will not be offered if you had paid a deposit. Test drive is the customers right. You might be confused with the garage nearby as there 3 nearby garages. We welcome test drives and independent inspections in order that the customer is satisfied.
Extremely rude staff. There was a crack in the wind-shield, which wasn't on the advertisement. When I asked for the price to be reduced because of that he told me to split the cost with my insurance company, which is a joke. When I said I can't drive a car with a cracked wind-shield because if I get pulled over I'll get in trouble he said that I'm not used to English law because I have a foreign accent. In my 15 years of living in the UK I have never heard anything like this. I wouldn't take a car from them if it was free after the way they treated and spoke to me.
