Bought a Mini Cooper for my wife Jill from this dealership. We travelled quite a long way from South Derbyshire to look at the car. It was perfect just what we wanted. Travelled back home on Thursday 25th August drove back again the next day to collect the car. It was ready and waiting outside for us.Nigel the manager was exceptional and very kind to us and made us feel very welcome.Brilliant service. We must also mention Greg who helped us on the Thursday. We can definitely recommend this garage to anyone. You will certainly be very well looked after. Well done guys. Keep up the good work.

Visited the MP Car Centre,to have a look at a Mercedes . Tony the Salesman,was very polite,helpful and knowledgeable. After a test drive I decided that I would have it so I left a deposit and said I would come back.The car was ready to collect, taxed, valeted and ready to go on the1st August 2016 A few days later, I decided to take the car to an authorised Mercedes Franchise for them to give it the once over. They found a couple of minor faults and I paid them to put them right and thought no more about it. Several days later, Tony rang me to inform me that he had found 3 sets of keys in my part X , so I went to pick them up. In passing I mentioned the jobs that I had done, on the car and showed the paperwork to him, he informed me that the Owner was actually on the premises that day and he would show the receipt to him, which he duly did. The Owner then came to see me and announced that they would have done the jobs for me free of charge and as a gesture of goodwill he gave me£200 plus £20 to get a drink, (for my trouble). I was amazed,that they would go to such efforts for Customer satisfaction, and I am very pleased with my purchase and would not hesitate to recommend them and would definitely use their Company again From Peter Lloyd A very Satisfied Customer

I recently purchased a car from MP Motors since I did not want to go to big names over local businesses. However, I am utterly disappointed and wouldn't recommend it to others. I have purchased a Peugeot for a decent sum of money. In less than a month, I developed all sort of faults - squeaking breaks, stuff gearbox, electric failures for steering and navigation. On contacting MP Motors' I was very helpfully told it was just a squeaking break because while driving I might have caused dirt accumulation and it was sent out to their affiliated garage for a clean. After a day at garage and break cleaning, things have only gone further downhill. The breaks did not squeak for an entire 12 hours! But then the squeaks got worse, control of brakes on any speed over 45 mph worsened too - making it very risky for my motorway commute. The gearbox got worse and wouldn't shift from 4th to 5th gear on motorways. This was getting dangerous and I contacted MP Motors again. Again, a clean and oiling by the same garage. Again, everything fine and dandy for a whole 12-14 hours. Then everything returned, this time only to have failed steering wheel electric control, followed by failed navigation electrics. Again, contacted MP Motors, was told electrics aren't covered and I should look into sorting it out myself. After explaining issues, they offered to look at it. I also discussed my issue with breaks and gearbox again (face to face for the 4th time!) and this time was told if I pay for new break pads, that will sort the problem. However, it was also insisted that these break pads are brand new and should easily last another year. But the only solution I was told is change them. So it isn't broken, but change it, pay for it - no guarantee this can be fixed. It has not even been a quarter of the year since my purchase and all I have got is a mis-sold faulty product with a lipstick on it. The car wasn't fit to be on road due to break, gearbox and steering issues but was still sold without any of this being even mentioned at the point of sell. MP Motors still insist everything is fine and all these fall within normality of car purchases. I am certain, they don't. I have also been in touch with trading standards regarding sell of this faulty product. Both my insurer and trading standards think this car is dangerous to be on motorways not only for me, but for other road users. If you are buying anything from MP Motors, please make sure you don't just go by what's being told, but think of what's not being told and definitely don't believe your test drives. I am very disappointed to have fallen for such business malpractices and being treated so unfairly as a customer. Neither Tony nor Nigel have managed to sort this problem out other than just get my breaks cleaned and washed at an affiliated garage! The journeys to the garage and MP Motors since I purchased this car from them have cost me nearly £100 in fuel with 12 miles each way to travel and come back with nada! If you are looking for decent after sales support and genuine sales, please look elsewhere.

michael porter from MotorTrust UK Garstang in response to agentfourty7

hello dk ,ive had the car checked 3 times by various garages and no faults where found,i phoned you and said bring the car back to me direct so I can personally drive it .which you haven't .....ive even said to you to take it to a garage off your own choice so you can have a independent inspection ... the car in question is a peoguot 207 with 80000 miles on the clock and 9 years off age .like you've said the transaction from 5th to 4th gear is not as as smooth as you would off liked.. you state on your review you've spent 100 pound on fuel costs considering your only 6 miles away and been my garage 4 times totalling 48 miles .. nothing really adds up really .. IN LAYMON TERMS YOUR EXPECTING A LOT FOR YOUR MONEY WHOS TELLING A FEW PORKIES .IM THE MOST GENUINE DEALER IN THE REGION WHO WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ANYONE..BUT SOME PEOPLE YOU JUST CANT DO ENOUGH FOR .... GOOD LUCK ON YOUR SEARCH REGARDS MIKE PORTER

I purchased my car in May. I had been going to the MP Motors every week to test drive different cars. After a month I thought Lee the sales man would get fed up with me but he was very patient and wanted to make sure I found the right car that suited me, We picked up the new car which was all clean and shiny and the front wheels had been refurbished and looked like new. We were very pleased the service and our new car.Thank you Lee for all your help.!!!! Pauline x

I recently purchased a car through MP Motors. I found all of the staff to be very friendly, and helpful. My main contact was Tony, he answered all questions that I had, and was true to his word with the description of the car. He arranged the car to be delivered to my house as I live over three hours away, and allowed me to test drive it before finalising the outstanding payment. Chris the driver was again a real asset to the team. I was extremely happy with the level of professionalism conducted from start till finish, and would highly recommend them to anyone considering buying a car with them. Thank you for an easy pleasant transaction.

MP Motirs provide an excellent service. They allowed us to take our time choosing a vehicle, no high pressure sales techniques here! They answered all our questions and were very helpful in advising the best car to suit our needs. When we went to collect the car it was ready and gleaming from a full valet. Cannot fault the service, people or prices at all! We will be recommending to all our friends!

I rang MP motors asking if I could reserve a car because I live a 3 hour drive from the showroom. I spoke to Lee, who was very helpful. I paid £100 to reserve the car as I couldn't get to the showroom for almost a week. What a lovely polite man Lee is, so easy to speak to and deal with. We arrived the following Thursaday and the car was reading and waiting for me to test run. It was spotless and exactly as described. I deceided to test run a few other cars whilst I was there as there were so many to choose from. I took another car for a test run but was so impressed with the first car I didn't test any others out. I went ahead and purchased it. All the paper work was done whilst I went for some lunch. I drove the new car home through some horrendous weather and all was fine. Many thanks Lee for all your help. I will certainly be recommending you to all my friends. A top company to deal with. Oh and you get a nice cup of coffee!!!
