Having bought an Immaculate RCZ from this Company I was a bit miffed when finding that the Sat nav did not work This is common on this model and expensive too So I decided to go to see the 'proprietor and put the issue to him, I was first offered a reasonable reduction of the price, Then he suggested that the car needs a working Sat nav which forms part of the 'Limited Edition' package, ( therefore a 'must have working item ) He phoned a Company that deals specifically with Sat Nav Problems, and allowed me to seek assurance that the car will be repaired to my satisfaction, I asked a few questions to the sat Nav People ie Will the rest of the cars electrics and dash board have to be disturbed or tampered with And was assured that it will not. The car has been booked in to have the work carried out And Ray ( the proprietor) of the Hertford Car Company has offered me a sum of money back on top of the repair work Because as he said '''I have a well known reputation to keep''' Well, 'fingers crossed' if the job is done satisfactorily, I will then give this Company a 'Thumb's up' There's not many people these days in that trade like the one I have just experienced....

A follow up from my previous review ( above ) I now reward The 'Hertford Car Co and additional 'star' I bought limited edition car from them and I found that it had an issue with the sat Nav --- cars go wrong --- It then becomes the moment when you see the true 'worth' of the dealership you bought the car from, they Immediately booked the car into AMP Electronics In Hertford, sadly the sat nav was in need of a new 'very expensive' part. Which because of its 'special edition' status none was readily available and so they Compensated me fully, They apologised for the problem with the car And we shook hands with smiles all around, I even cadged a parting kiss from Lorreta one of the owners …. I would recommend this company to a friend, I would also recommend AMP electronics... Who got my Sat nave working 99% ( even without the broken part ) That must have took some doing BUT DO IT THEY DID !!! Ray Hill....

We went to view a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV this weekend (low mileage, good spec....which I absolutely loved) and I managed to convince the hubby that we should buy it. Westy took us both for two separate test drives as we had the kids with us, which was very accommodating. I then returned the next morning to pay the deposit on the car. After I had got home, hubby had a change of heart and decided he didn't want to spend any money on a new car so I rang Hertford cars who were absolutely lovely about it and very understanding. They said that although I had lost them business as they had cancelled a viewing, they would still process a full refund and posted a receipt back to our home address out of goodwill. Trustworthy and lovely team, highly recommend. Will return when I have convinced hubby to spend some money.

Its not just selling a shiny car in the forecourt, its what happens when there is a little hiccup... This is where the Hertford car company really came up trumps. We went to buy the very first car for my daughter i was impressed with the courteous, 'non-pressured' sales technique, ' here's the car, look around at your own pace and i'll come back when you are ready'... and we ended up buying a lovely little Honda Jazz for her. a week later there was a small issue with the exhaust blowing (i might add that the car had been MOT'd before delivery and they didn't spot any problem with the exhaust), so i phoned to report the problem... after they had finished apologising and with no argument a new exhaust was ordered and fitted at a time that suited me... as i say anyone can sell a shiny car, but the acid test is how the dealer responds when there is a problem, and i've got to say on their sales and after service i have found the Hertford car company exceed my expectations in almost every area. So much so, my other daughter will be looking for a car within the next month or so and our first stop will be back to these people to see what stock they have.

I purchased a VW Shuttle from Hertford Car Company and it came with a warranty. I had an issue after 4 weeks and Ray resolved with zero quibble and turned the repair around very quickly. I really can't recommend these guys enough. I've always dealt with main dealerships in the past and once the car is sold the aftersales is awful. With Ray, the service is the same before and after the sale, in a world full of negative views towards "second hand car salesman" this dealer really stands out as a genuine and honest. I will be a returning customer.

"Big Mistake"

I bought a cheap run around from this company, a small price and a BIG mistake, False information and promise of compensation never arrived. It redefined 'cheap' for me as the work to make the vehicle roadworthy was half as much as the purchase price. I would not recommend them for their honesty.

Tracey charles in response to Big Mistake

Actually i need to retract my review. Bought bmw 6 series covertable. Nothing but probs for 9 months!!! Yes you heard right! Coolant was leaking , dealer "fix" it. So let me be blunt, he did a botched job. He replaced belt but it was hanging off and damaged components in the process. This is confirmed by another mechanic. I use motorways a lot and this guy didnt care that this could have led to loss of life. Yes he allowed a bmw person to repair leak but his mama confirmed 2nd leak they will not pay for. All they kept moaning about is my milage which i may add i only used 12k as i bought car at103k miles I still have cold start problems which has never been resolved for 9 months. He put new brakes on faulty discs. Alternator went-yes he fixed that Transmission went- yes he fixed that Ok he put 2 new tires on Hes not trusthworthy!!!! He patches up cars And now im stuck with car thats not fit for purpose. I depend on having car for work, now i have to take train and spend loads for transportation Shame on you!!!!!!!

Brought a citron a few weeks ago had an issue with it not starting within half an hour two mechanics came to my house and sorted the small issue. Couldn't say anything bad from start to finish about the Hertford Motor Company- highly recommend !!!!! They couldn't have apologised enough and I couldn't be happier. Claire, Broxbourne thank you !

I bought a Kia Sedona from the Hertford Car Company. We did get off to a rocky start as I had to wait over an hour to view the vehicle. Despite this I decided to purchase the car and was promised it would be serviced and a few other jobs done before I could collect. I picked the car up after about three weeks and was really happy with it. After a month the engine started to cut out so I rang and spoke to Ray, who agreed to purchase the part we all thought I needed and post it to me. This didn't work so took the car to Kia and had a diagnostic check. Turned out to be the injectors and Kia quoted £1500 to repair the car. At this point I rang Ray again and he agreed to do the work for me at no cost to myself. The work was done very quickly and the car is now running lovely. They are a friendly company and I would recommend them.

"HondaJazzred"

I brought a Honda Jazz from the Hertford Car Company in August. Great car, just what I was looking for. There were a couple of minor things to the car that needed doing (small dent, break pads, spare wheel and tools missing, and judder when pulling away which was to do with the gearbox oil), by the time I picked it up, it was all sorted, even had another MOT done so I didnt have to get that done in a couple of months. The judder started again after driving for a week or so. I called up the office and explained (think his name was Clint, new guy working there), I was booked in that week, the mechanic took my car straight away and cleaned it all out again with fresh oil and its been running perfect ever since (The Jazz seems to experience this problem) . All in all, very happy with the car, the staff are all nice, and thank you for a great car.

Not happy with The Hertford Car Company. I purchased a BMW from them in May and it has had numerous issues. Turns out the car has a reconditioned engine (which has not been reconditioned very well) and I have also had issues with the suspension springs and the timing chain. I am now having to pay out over £1,500. I would not recommend them at all.

ray from The Hertford Car Company in response to Awful

For you interest we have a fully equipped workshop to carry out repairs in situations like this and two fully qualified mechanics. The fact you have not had the car long you should had called us as we are always happy to help rather than leave a bad taste in someones mouth. unfortunatly you can never predict the future on a second hand car however we like to resolve situations so if you read this reply and wish to contact us please do. Again sorry for any inconvenience. Ray

Michael Roberts in response to Awful

I dont know which one you are that responded to his review as some of you are sound. But my issue is directly with the owner in regards to warranty and first hand experience with it. Anyway, I took my car in today for repair (one being a shock bearing shot to pieces, literally will crumble). You can hear it when the car is stationary and turning the steering wheel ( which has been confirmed by 2 profesional mechanics by the way). But oh no, this bloke (who I think was the owner) tells me its just the wheel balencing because of the steering wheel vibrating. Yes, he is correct. But how much does that cost to adjust that!? Anything that involves money, he will just continue to ignore the issue, or cut it short. Because lets face facts. The shock bearing is shot to shit, was shot to shit. I dont moan usually and I dobt bitch about things or leave bad reviews on anything. And the reason you are getting this bad review anyway is because the issue you did resolve (giving me the wrong locking wheel nut when I purchased the car) is pretty much the only soddin' thing you done, or was interested in! In regards to the shot to pieces shock bearing I originally thought it was just polish you put on the tires, and that would wear off. But it got a little worse. Took it to a mates garage for him to check, and then took it to my local garage (where the bloke has been for the last 30 odd years) for him also to check. Guess what? Both said the same thing! And the fact you said you can't hear anything when turning the steering wheel almost made me laugh. Because unless you are deaf, you can hear it!! I gave up even attempting to argue it with him, because it was blatently obvious he didn't want me there anyway!!!. The lady on reception was lovely though, and the bloke who worked there (can't remember his name). But if you want a garage, that will give you real warranty and no bullshit. Then look elsewhere. I took a day off for this bullshit when I could have had someone local to me do it for barely anything, if anything! Absolute joke! And dont even bother to tell me I should contact you to resolve issue blah blah for good reputation. Because the fact is, that shouldn't be the way you do things!
