Terrible experience! We bought a car from Poolfoot Motors/Car Centre, the following day we reported a fault to them. This made the car unsafe and not fit for use. We were asked by them to return it, a two hour journey. We refused to drive it that far and eventually agreed on taking it to a local garage. Unfortunately it wasn't resolved after a further two visits. Poolfoot asked us to take it to a "transmission expert" they used that was two hours away. We were told they had done work to the car but were never given any documentation as promised. It was still not repaired. We then asked for a refund which was declined, we sought legal advice and gave them a last chance to repair. They had the car for nearly six weeks and when we collected it we were left with the same fault. We later found out that they had put a second hand part on and it was highly likely no work was carried out by the "transmission expert". The manager we were dealing with was in no way helpful or understanding. He was rude and arrogant. At no point were we offered any kind of courtesy car or compensation for our losses. This situation dragged on for 8 months which didn't seem to bother them. They buy their cars untested from auctions, its most probably the cars main dealers wouldn't sell on their forecourts or to other dealers. Stay well clear they are absolute cowboys!

I have had the same experience with them, the after care is shockingly bad. I’ve had a problem with my keyless entry door handles which still are not sorted out yet from October 20224. They have 2 attempts to sort the issue out but have had no joy, I’m sure they have used non Ford handles. I have asked for the paperwork regarding the said door handles and nothing has materialised. Certainly would not use them again.
Aftersales is totaly none existant if you have a problem after you buy the car.
Don't buy from these people, worst experience in my life, as the previous review they are quite nice when selling, but don't like resolving issues. On collecting the car there was no log book, no second key or vehicle pass. Car supplied with a full MOT, how they managed that when the horn did not work. I have since found many more hidden issues. Rather than buy from Poolfoot Motors one would be far better off to buy direct from an auction's. Due to time constraints and taking the car abroad, I would have reported this company to trading standards and the police.

Awful garage, awful staff! I will never use this place again. They appear to be great when they want to sell you a car, but this is where the friendly service ends. I've tried for months to resolve a problem with my purchase, unfortunately they're not interested and are now quite rude when I contact them.
