I paid a 10k deposit for a Mercedes AMG gtc addition 50 in good faith on a Wednesday and was told that would secure the vehicle until Saturday collection, I was aware someone had arranged to view the car on the Thursday at 2pm but this was to be cancelled as I'd paid a non returnable deposit and signed the invoice contract. Thursday morning everything was going well confirming it was having its final checks and MOT , Then at 4.15pm on Thursday Carl rang to say Oh sorry the car was sold and there had been a communication error, Totally devastated as this was a limited edition car. I took his explanation as plausible until 1 hour later the car that had previously been 99k was back on the website at 103k, I have no evidence but this indicates the guy that was going to look at the car on Thursday did indeed go and offer more money, This is not the sort of behaviour I would expect from a high profile dealer and more like a back street garage. STAY CLEAR.

Having been a total 'Petrol-Head' for decades and during that time purchasing over a hundred cars for both personal and business use, I have to say my experience at this place was the one I'll remember always as simply appalling. No other buying experience has been so poor for me. If only I'd taken the time to read reviews and comments about this place before going. Remember - they made more than one of the car you're looking at - there will be another somewhere else!

"Awful Customer Service"

Recently purchased a new Range Rover Autobiography from Tom Hartley Motors. Initial contact was good whilst trying to sell me the vehicle but once the purchase was agreed there was a definite downhill spiral. Never have I experienced such bad customer service! Phone calls and emails not returned during the purchase process, after sales service non existent! Not helpful at all just told to contact main Land Rover dealer. Not the service you expect when you are spending £150K on a car!

Stay clear from this place they clock the mileage back!! Tom and his son are the rudest people you will ever meet all they want is your money. They will sell you a car on 10k mileage that's actually done 45k!

I made a trip of 500 miles to Tom Hartley showroom to see a car in which I was interested in . We agreed on the price, payment and delivery terms for a Ferrari supercar. Everything is confirmed by WhatsApp. A checkout by the Ferrari dealer was also scheduled for the next Wednesday. Phoning about the results I was informed that the car has been sold to someone else. No comment about this way of respecting customers

Hi Tom & Carl and all the team at Tom Hartley Cars I have read some of this awful feedback that some people have left do they not understand that some people sometimes have bad days no I guess they don’t!!!! Well I must say I filled out the online form dead simple then got a call back later that day by one of the team and was informed I could view the car on a Sunday come on who needs this on a day that we need time with our families but no issue was greeted by Tom him self he was a pleasure to meet He treated us with impeccable manners as I am also company owner and see a spade as a spade. Gave myself my wife and family a full view of all their stock I must say what a lovely man no presser at all viewed the car he gave me the keys and off we went for our test drive on our own Fast forward I had a private plate to put on the car a tracker to be fitted and so on Rob just took it in his stride and clicked on with it all sorted Day of collection was called 30mins before my due collection time to make sure I was on track upon arrival was greeted by Rob offered the simple but nice coffee juice or water very nice touch after a short time Carl was free as he had an other happy customer with him what a pleasant person full of conversation about all things in life I am so glad I have purchased my car from this family they are a credit to the motor world Thanks GEL1T

James Rydell in response to Rolls Royce Wraith

Spelling - shocking. Punctuation - none. Grammar - poor. Syntax - rarely witnessed worse. It's as if this review were written by someone with dyslexia. Who might that be? No, surely he wouldn't write his own positive reviews because he has so many negative? Now that would be desperate.

He is the rudest man you can ever come across. He was advertising a porsche in June 2021 check it out on Carl Hartley Instagram at 1250 miles but how is this possible when the car had done 6500 miles in 2019 showing on an experian hpi check and on the mot database. Reg number (WG18DUA) Clearly this has been clocked so if I was you be very careful!!

I read the negative reviews and went to view a Ferrari 458 with an open mind, but prepared for the worst.. I did wonder if I had come to the same place the reviews were about. The Ferrari I went to buy was as described and beautiful, with a couple of tiny issues that were dealt with by the time it was delivered. Sadly there was a tiny dent when it was delivered but Tom called me from a weekend away to assure me it would be sorted and it has been removed perfectly all done at my home, no cost no hassle. My experience was a pleasure and Tom and his Team really could not have treated me better or supplied a better car.
