My stepson (24) bought a 19 plate BMW in September 2024. He went without us (had we known we would have advised against buying from them as a couple of years prior my husband was fined from DVLA after part exing his car for one of theirs, so I know their systems are rubbish at best and chaotic) When I went with my stepson to pick the car up I noted there was not a 12 month MOT. This was resolved the same day and an MOT was issued with no advisories. The car was also not properly valeted on collection. A salesperson who was dealing with my stepson had sold him the extended warranty. The salesperson was very enthusiastic saying that it covered all major parts etc so his face dropped when I asked what it didn't cover. It doesn't cover wear and tear. At the end of January my stepson complained about a noise the car was making. He notified motor range under extended warranty (which only deals with major issues) but was told it would be April till they could see it. On the 5th February I spoke to th service department who said they would require a proforma invoice so we could get the work carried out and they would pay. On the 6th of February I sent a proforma after we paid for our mechanic to look at it. The work was quoted as the car needing a differential and it was noted it looked like a second hand one had been fitted prior. The car was not roadworthy to drive especially long distances. I had no response from the email. I called on the 7th of February the email was forwarded over the phone to the service manager who by the way is always in meetings. On the 11th of Feb I sent a follow up email as I had still not received a response or approval for the works to go ahead. On the 11th of February I received an email to say they would only cover costs up to 2k so would need to arrange collection and a courtesy car. On the 11th I received an email saying a courtesy car would not be available until April and that my stepson wouldn't be covered on insurance as under the age of 25. The cover he was sold comes with a courtesy car. On the 12th of Feb the car broke down and I was still waiting a response from motorrange so I emailed them to advise the car had broke down and was on the way back to them. On the 13th of February I had an email apologizing about me not getting through on the phones yesterday the lines were down (also common) and they wanted to know when the vehicle could be collected. I called them and they said they would get back to me with an update after confirming they had the car. In the meantime someone had knocked into the door mirror (at home not there) so asked if they could get someone to quote for a new door mirror. They said they would. On the 15th of February I received another email (first one in 2 weeks I hadn't chased) there it was still in progress and there was no update and management were not on site so a courtesy car couldn't be provided. I responded that he is under 25 as per the previous email so legally couldn't get one as per their policy anyway. On the 17th of February I received an email advising they were short staffed but this person would look into the case and the car was booked in on the 28th to be repaired. On the 18th of Feb I received an email stating that there would be no further updates but the body shop would assess the vehicle whilst on site and provide a quote for it. On the 18th I asked how long the repair would take including body shop. I followed up on the 24th and 25th and did not receive a response. I received an email 1st of March advising should have a progress report on the vehicle I responded asking for an update re the mirror and also compensation for the fact my stepson was misold a policy and has been without car for nearly a month. They responded saying they would chase body shop and would speak to someone about compensation I called today the 5th of March and was told they spoke to my stepson who was happy to receive the car back on Friday. I asked about the door mirror, this has not been seen by the body shop despite it being on site for 10 days and numerous phone calls. There has been no further mention of compensation. You would think as a gesture of goodwill they would fix it for free. They sold an unroadworthy car to begin with had it not been for paying 500 pounds we would have had a 3grand mechanical bill.

Still waiting for my £50 holding deposit to be refunded as I had to cancel viewing the vehicle. I have emailed - no response. I have called and on 2 occasions I’ve been told it’s being processed. I’ve asked for proof which has been ignored!!

i am writing this review to complain on the lack of service I have received from motor range. I firstly was very impressed by yourselves. After the sale, the care you don't seem to have baffles me. I had a few issues regarding the speaker of the car. When you sold me the car you changed the speaker system to the back two speakers to hide the fact the front speaker was faulty. You also didn't follow up with the repair that was supposed to be booked by your staff member Jack. Later I find out he didn't even arrange the repair. Furthering this I didn't receive a log book from yourselves. I wanted to further this to your team to see if there was anything you could do to complete this sale by sending the log book. I have called on three separate occasions in the last two weeks. Each time your staff have either come up with excuses why I couldn't speak to the person who deals with this or wrote my phone number down to which I have not received any follow up phone call. I am very frustrated with this. It seems like the after-sale service is non-existent and after reading your reviews, it seems this seems to happen a lot. Your reputation makes sense to me now. I am highly disappointed. I will never buy a car from yourselves again and will deter people away from yourselves in the future. I hope you work on yourself as a business to progress and make sure this doesn't continue to happen to other customers. I believe you also need to train your staff on how to communicate better with each other and customers, otherwise I'm sure you will continue your reputation. Very disappointed. If I could give a 0 i would
Was told we had 24 month warranty. Given the document signed both by salesman and my partner. Van needed to be fixed so called and already I knew this was going to be a red flag whilst speaking on the phone. We are 18 months since purchase, so as far as we know, in warranty. We say we have the papers, she said is it handwritten or typed, it was typed... and signed when we were given the keys. They said to ring recovery to pick up the van. When we called recovery, they asked if our address was in Warrington, we said no. We were under the wrong name and address. However, it was still picked up, didn't think anything of it. My partner took the paper with the 24 months on, and they said yeah it's in black and white, we will carry out work under warranty. Then to be told, after the work was complete, you're going to have to pay, it was an admin error at the time of purchase (18 months ago) and a letter was sent to us to say we only had 12 months! We argued for a while and I asked why wasn't this checked and we never received any letters, no emails. Well, I think it clicked for her when she finally let us get our side of the story and told her the recovery nearly went to the wrong address, that the warranty was in the wrong address (not our fault) and so we actually did not receive the email. Was treated snotty the whole time, and told 'fine' you don't have to pay the money but you're not under warranty. We didn't care about warranty at that point. I'm not sure why we were still being made to pay up until that point, when it was an admin error and they didn't make sure we were contacted. She said she was bringing out a signed copy of a 12 month warranty that was signed by my partner, ha, the 2 minutes she said it'd take took 15 and it came out unsigned, and tried to say the printed signature on another piece of paper which didn't have a number on it was the signature. I tried to say how come we have the 24 month one in the car signed by both people then, but she wouldn't ever let us finish a sentence, yet when we first met her, and had barely gotten out a sentence she tried interrupting then had the nerve to say 'can you let me finish'. She had am attitude before we even spoke to her. Amazing customer service. Like others have pointed out, they are amazing at contacting you whilst selling to you. As soon as you've bought from them... you're on your own and it felt as though we were being scammed. Make your staff competent. Yes mistakes are fine but when you're being told we have proof and no emails and no letters, do some research on your side and maybe you'll figure out that you were in the wrong! Not one apology for the whole mess! It was their fault and caused stress for nothing. Surely if you made a mistake and gave the wrong warranty, that's not on the customer to then pay, and surely you would make sure they were contacted! Sending a letter doesn't guarantee it arrived to us! You have phone, and email. We also met 3 other people there that day having problems and bonded under the notion, we'd never use you again and will 100% directing people elsewhere.

Christina in response to Horrible, felt scammed.
They have done similar to me. I paid for 24months warranty. They left me until my warranty run out to then tell me I paid for 1yr and that the fault didn’t happen until 20mnths after having the car (all lies by them) I know what I signed and what I paid for! Horrible company and ever a worse attitudes especially the manager and the woman on the desk! Sorry you went through this also.
I even had john wilsons mobile number for any queries all went smoothly
We purchased a Mercedes A class two years ago from Motor Range and were told the car had a full service history which is stored on the computer within the car and that it had a spare key. When we collected the car there was only one key but we were told that one could be purchased locally for about £45. This was the first in a string of lies, as a new Mercedes Key can only be obtained from the dealership at a cost of £480. We were also led to believe that the car had had a full service on purchase and twelve months later we returned to Motor Range to have the car serviced and MOT'd as we had purchased 12 Months warranty and were told the car had to be serviced with them for the warranty to be valid. This year, however, we took the car to our usual garage and were horrified when our mechanic told us that the car has NEVER been serviced. The air filter was black, The oil filter was the original one put on the vehicle and he had to hammer the wheels off the car as they have never been removed. Not only is it disgusting that they charged us £300 for a service that was not done but the car is used for motorway driving every day and there is a safety and reliability issue with their lack of honesty. I will certainly never purchase a car from them again and I would recommend that you look elsewhere when looking to buy a new car.
Bought a few weeks ago very happy with the car. The service was great, couldn't have been better very helpful from the beginning.

First class service from start to finish. It was probably the best experience of buying a car that we have had for a long time. Andy Seddon was professional, polite and extremely thorough in ensuring the car was presented to us in A1 condition. Well done Motor Range, your staff deliver outstanding customer service. Would highly recommend purchasing from these guys. We’ll be back………
Went to buy a new car and Matt was great to deal with from start to finish. I would recommend him to anybody looking to buy a new car
