Recently bought a van from here after my old one had a complete meltdown. I needed a van very quick for work purposes. I visited the dealership on the Wednesday afternoon, noticed one that was suitable, and had it outside my house fit for work on the Monday with a 12 month MOT. Before I purchased the van, Simms and Taylor had no disagreement with me taking the van to my own mechanic for a once over before I bought it, they even offered to take the van to the garage for me! As Simms and Taylor knew I was desperate for the van, but was aware there was a fault with the ignition barrel, so they arranged to fix this on a day that was suitable for me. Can't fault the service! Thank you Simms and Taylor!

I've just collected my mini from these guys after having a the cylinder head gasket replaced under the RAC warranty, There was no hassle at all they diagnosed it and processed the whole claim on my behalf they even lent me a courtesy car
Just purchased my first van from Simms & Taylor the service has been second to none. They give me 3 months RAC warranty free, I upgraded to 12 months but don't think I will need it.
Bought a 56 plate focus from Simms & Taylor, less than 1 mile away when the brakes failed and I nearly crashed... when I turned round and went straight back to be told it's sold as seen and I can't have my CASH back! 3 mins after I had handed it over Totally disgusting when the car is not safe to be on the road!!

Mark in response to Stay well clear!
Thanks for the advice. I see many more poor reviews about this company. I have seen a Fiat Bravo I was interested in. Thought it wise to check the company out before buying. Glad I did. Also, looking at some of the replies to negative reviews I notice the writer cannot even spell. There instead of their being just one example. I'll take my cash elsewhere. I am sure I can find a reputable dealer willing to take my £3k. Simms & Taylor won't be getting my business.
What a refreshing and great way to sell budget cars. Its very rare these days for a company to be so honest with the products they are selling. They told me exactly what my options were in regards preparation of my car and explained the risks involved with each product. Having read some of the reviews on here I can only imagine that these people didn't listen to what was said because there is no way you could walk out of there not knowing what you have purchased and to what quality you can expect. WELL DONE SIMMS AND TAYLOR great car by the way
Traded in my Nissan navara for a volvo estate at a very good price found out the volvo was a cat c write off. I contacted them and they offered me a Ford mondao diesel. As I was having problems insuring the volvo I was on phone for a full day arranging insurance eventually got a decent quote so decided to keep the volvo. One thing I can say is don't expect a perfect car the cars are sold at trade prices and are trade cars. If you are spending a lot of money take a mechanic or get a AA or RAC inspection if they refuse to let you walk away.
Paul Simms from Simms & Taylor Ltd (CLOSED DOWN) in response to Tel
Hi Tel Thank you for your review It is our policy when advertising any vehicle that is on the insurance register that this be marked clearly in the advert and on the car as it was in this case. We also ensure that the HPI status of all cars is discussed within the purchase. It is usually the case that most people insure there cars prior to collecting them but unfortunately in this case you chose to do it afterwards. I would also like to add that all vehicle inspections are welcome at Simms and Taylor as the way we sell cars is very transparent
Please DO NOT purchase a car from these people. Mine lasted 3 months and then needed a new engine. Was told it was my fault because the car had been run for three months with no oil in. Absolute rubbish. had to put oil in on the day of purchase. Avoid these people at all costs!!!
Paul Simms from Simms & Taylor Ltd (CLOSED DOWN) in response to Steve
Steve Very disappointed to read this review as we had discussed this matter with both the garage that you chose to repair your car and yourself and it is very clear from the garage that all the damage was caused by the car being driven with low oil. You said you checked the oil weekly and it wasn't using oil. Obviously some one is not telling the truth about this matter. However no matter which one is correct. You owned the car for over three months with no issue's and now see fit to blame Simms and Taylor for something clearly cannot be our fault, Disgusting really
Hi. I just bought a car from your place. A peugeot 206 with register number PJ54 LYH. After a few day of driving, there a some noise happens when i start drive the car.
