"Now called Cars and Commercials!"

Shame I didn't see the other reviews before trying to buy a car from Zone Cars UK - now called Cars and Commercials, Bristol. Run by the now infamous Wayne Marsh and K Rehman at 5 Ashton Vale Rd Bristol. Similar experience to the other reviewers - they are totally unable to tell the truth or to honour any of their promises. Wasted a whole weekend trying to buy a Golf from them - plus train fares and a deposit of £100. Glad I never got to drive the car away as the problems would most likely have got worse from there. They keep telling you what they think you want to hear - in person, on phone and in texts/emails - while not meaning any of it. Avoid like the plague they are!

Peter Jones in response to Now called Cars and Commercials!

Bought a car for cash 2015, never received the car, went to small claims court. Got judgement but no money. Since had speeding ticket, parking fine and now last week bus lane fine. Car was reported to police but no one can find it REALLY -DO NOT BUY FROM THESE.

Caroline Wilkinson in response to Now called Cars and Commercials!

This has just happened to me.. Only saw reviews when trying to find alternative ways to contact them, after ignoring all my calls. Nasty blokes.

Em in response to Now called Cars and Commercials!

Thanks both for reviewing this business- we are currently in the same situation and pursing a money claim against the dealership- I would be very interested to know if the company is registered or if you won a judgement against them personally? what was the name on the judgement?

Lies from the start,, sold us a van which was not fit for purpose. despite many calls and told he would fix it, he called to say his boss ( yeah ok ) said he would not fix it now. gone to trading standards and watchdog and would ask anyone else who has had a problem with ZONE CARS or VALE CARS or AFFORDABLE CARS to do the same

Lisa Mash in response to ZONE CARS BRISTOL, AFFORDABLE CARS

We had the same last year. We formally rejected the car and followed the process through but when the bailiff went to site, he couldn't find any evidence that Wayne Marsh owned any of the vehicles so he couldn't cease any assets. Very frustrating - we are out of pocket by a lot money. What they are doing is essentially theft but they are clever enough to exploit a legal loophole. Let me know how you get on with the Watchdog etc.

They are under the name Vale Cars they have scammed me , i purchased a car in september engine light came on almost immediately, the head light was loose, they said it had new m.o.t however have had to replace window wipers and pay for tracking, have been waiting 6 weeks to be fixed but they have just been making excuse or ignoring me. They have changed names, the worst mistake was purchasing a car from them!!

We bought a car in January 2017 that had problems from the off. The 3 month warranty didn’t exist and Wayne kept promising to have the car fixed which never materialised. They wouldn’t give us a refund either. We formally rejected the car and have gone through the courts but a court appointed bailiff was unable to recoup our money as apparently they no longer trade there and there were no saleable goods. We are over £2000 out of pocket and not sure what to do next. It’s a lot of money!

Partner purchased a car from Zone Cars UK in Jan 16, and I wish that we hadn't gone near them. He has spent over £1500 fixing issues on the car that should have been resolves before purchase, and the real kicker is that a letter turned up 2 days ago, stating there is outstanding finance on the vehicle that we had no idea about! We will be taking someone to court, and if it helps, all contact details for Nation Autos LTD who trade under Zone Cars UK and Highbury Motors can be found here - https://register.fca.org.uk/ShPo_FirmDetailsPage?id=001b0000025QhpQAAS

Zone cars K Rehmen Wayne Marsh. I paid £875 into k Rehmen account just to be told the car is not ready. I travelled from Birmingham to Bristol twice. They agreed to refund the money which they don't and haven't done. So now I have no car and they have kept the money. They just lie and now don't answer the phone . The yard they operate from is like a scrap yard with price tags. The worst by far company I have ever dealt with.

Mrs lee in response to Denis McGowan

Zone cars owe me money from when I bought a car in August. The guy at the garage told me today went I popped by after endless attempts to get my money that the business changes hands in September and is now card for you and the previous people meaning Wayne marsh was long gone. Was it Wayne you dealt with?

My daughter paid a £400 deposit two weeks ago and is still waiting for her car. They just give a give a different excuse each time. She rang them 28 on Thursday and still no car. They are taking advantage of a vulnerable single mother. The did loan her a car but not only did it not start it was not taxed either so she could not use it. Stay away from Zone Cars UK.
