Bought a Fiat and subsequently discovered after its first service that it had been in an accident. Chassis is buckled and front bumper is held on by plastic hose clips. RB have ignored 5 emails asking for them to address the matter and the matter is now with Trading Standards.

"AVOID AT ALL COSTS "

AVOID THIS DEALERSHIP AT ALL COSTS. Car purchased was a Vauxhall Astra GTC, immediately I had to get the breaks replaced. Following faults over 12 months of having the vehicle: Turbo collapsed (needed new turbo and manifold) New headlight (headlight was faulty) New clutch Oil pipe feed was from a different vehicle (Ford) New breaks, (they must have oiled them as almost immediately the breaks were finished) Coolant tank and subsequent issues Cost of repairs on a £4000 vehicle so far = £2000+ This car was not fit for purpose and should never have been sold. Please avoid this delearship and go elsewhere for you're car, otherwise you'll end up in a dangerous situation!

"Car sold with serious faults"

Car was sold with serious faults. Trader has many years of experience and enough mechanical know how to identify faults BEFORE selling it on their forecourt. They hope a Warranty will solve all the issues should you ever succumb to a failure. Use your finance company if any faults arise Be AWARE of your consumer rights Be AWARE they do not have a transparent means of contact - only ever phone calls never a paper trail or email Be AWARE that they are VERY clever at the 'sales game' so take a mechanic if you really want to purchase a vehicle from the establishment. Be AWARE that one day someone/people may encounter serious issues as a result of this companies unprofessional approach to car safety. Will it be you?

"How are they still trading ? "

Bought an 09 Ford Transit Connect from these ‘people’ for £3500. Test drive was okay, no problems. Three days after purchase, I broke down as the head gasket had gone. Emailed and rang them and asked for a refund. That’s when the friendly turned nasty! Refused to give me a refund. I contacted trading standards who said you have to give the garage the chance to repair the vehicle first. I told the garage I wanted a new head gasket, not just skimmed. Wasn’t done. Told them I couldn’t drive it so they came out to my home and ‘fixed’ it in the road. Left no documentation to say what they’d done. So far I’ve spent over £1500 to fix numerous problems. The brake pipe was corroded, seals on the doors weathered and let rain in, all sensors had to be replaced, there’s still an oil leak, suspension arms and anti roll bar joints severely deteriorated. The list is endless. Have you noticed that the majority of the ‘good’ reviews state that they have had problems with their cars ? I can’t believe they’re still trading. Take your hard earned money elsewhere. Anyone who’s had a bad experience with these guys, please feel free to contact me.

I brought a £2000 car from r b cars. Had a cooling problem & couldn't believe the after sales support. They didn't hesitate to collect my car from my house, fix it & re deliver it. Its a shame not all garage's give the same friendly support unbelievable. Definitely be going back.

In short they sold a lemon and after two opportunities to fix the same problems pieces started falling off the car and the repairs lasted a few days at most. A refund was requested at 2 1/2 weeks after purchase date. They refused the refund and refused to comply with the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Now I am having to follow the ombudsman and legal routes to recover the money spent at their establishment. Avoid at all costs unless you have an independent mechanic check over the car thoroughly first!

Tim in response to Dodgy Dealer

Exactly the same happened to me. I requested a refund after 5 days of buying the van because the head gasket went, among other things. Refused. I requested a new head gasket, they bodged a repair on it instead. Still having problems with it now, almost two years after buying it. Saved all the emails and voicemails they sent me when I asked for my money back. Was good evidence for trading standards etc.

I've recently purchased an audi A6 from these guys which Im extremely pleased with. We found the owner and staff of R B Cars were very polite and helpful and I'd definitely recommend buying your next car from them..
