Wasn’t for putting this on my Facebook but seems they have turned reviews off on their Facebook page I wonder why 🧐🧐 this is the review I added to Google STAY AWAY!!!! My partner and I were sold a car that was meant to have had a full service done…4 months later the car broke down on the motorway with an engine fault…when looked at by insurance it was proven that when we bought the car it wasn’t road safe…we then contacted Philip numerous times to be told a different story every time not one member of staff knew what the other members of staff were saying and contradicted each other…then to be told that even if it was their fault the only refund they give on any car is £350 but they refused for us to get it delivered to them to have a look for themselves…. They then decided to tell us that they are no longer Philip mcgarritys and someone new has bought it over but when called from a different number bar my partners they called themselves Philip mcgarritys… we were taking this further with a legal team however due to a house fire we needed quick cash so had to have it scraped and definitely didn’t need the extra stress…. Conman wouldn’t even begin to describe the “business” https://www.facebook.com/philipmcgarrityusedcars/

We bought the car on 30/06/2020... First problem occured on the drive home from Belfast to Derry ..there was a crunching noise when we did a full right turn .. We called Stephen who sold us the car and told him if the problem and car was booked in to be sorted... Less than a week later the parking brake started to play up and it came up on dash board that it was faulty ..again we called Stephen to report ...once again the car was booked in to be sorted .... When hubby picked up the car we were told problem was sorted and that we were driving the car wrong and we confused the handbrake by using it. Silly us didn't realize the handbrake button was just for show.! ...we picked the car up on Monday 24 July and less than 5 days later parking brake fault occurred again ... We called Stephen and he told us he would again book in car and that I could still drive the car .. I am a registered Childcare provider caring for 6 children ..I did not feel it was safe to use to car for my job which was the reason I bought it plus the warranty quoted not to drive the car if there was a fault ..I bought the car for work purposes I wanted a realible 7 seater with low mileage ..the car was booked in again mean while another warning light came on telling me the abs braking system was faulty and the anti slip light keeping coming on and going off ... We were told it was parking motor and then it wasn't, then told it was the switch .. we again were told the car was fixed ... When hubby picked up car he was told not to use the parking brake manually at all as it wasn't a car that you should use with a manual brake we should just use the automatic brake which mean I had to turn off car if I wanted to apply brake ... We told them we weren't happy with this as why was there a button there if we couldn't use and Philip (owner) agreed we should be able to use it .. the handbook talked about how to apply the manual hand brake yet we were being told not to use ... Philip told us he would order a manual switch and sort for us to get fixed in Derry as trips up to Belfast weekly and time off work for hubby was taking its toll on us emotionally and financially .I was feeling very stressed out with the car and worrying how I would be able to do my job without a car as children are doing back to school and I needed my car for school pickups ... The switch Philip ordered arrived on Saturday 22 august by post and we were set to get it booked in with someone he recommended in Derry but when I started the car on Monday 24th to take a child to school ...it said that the abs breaking system was faulty the gearbox is faulty and the parking brake is faulty then the gears wouldn't change automatically ... I have had this car around 8 weeks ... I have not drove it for 1 full week without faults and warning lights coming up .. Most of the miles I have done in this car have been up and down to Belfast to let Philip get the car fixed for us which has been unsuccessful ... I do not feel safe in this car at all and I can't drive a faulty car for work I am responsible for the health and safety of the children I mind they aren't safe in a faulty car with braking systems failing ... We have requested to return this car for a full refund as we believe we have given Philip alot of chances to sort out the car and if anything it's getting worst the fault appeared within the first 30 days of owning this car so my law we are entitled to refund ... We have been passed between Stephen and Philip each one quoting the other one is responsible for sorting us out and refunding our money The car has been drove to Belfast on Monday 24 august and left with Stephen and we have requested the rejecting of this car we have done this throught the web site and through whatsapp ... Im not sure how long this will take but after dealing with this company for the last 7/8 weeks I know they will drag this out and not do the honourable thing and refund me my money . I have read other reviews and it seems I'm not alone on being sold a faulty car by them.. Honestly I would advise people to shop else where ..I've been in contact with other customers who have also had a nightmare ... Philip mc Garrity cars talk about 50 years in the car dealer business and offering first class service ..but that definitely is not the case..
