Please avoid at all costs!! Firstly all of the positive reviews on here are mostly from customers who have yet to pick up their car (they offer you an extra months warranty if you leave 3 reviews). The sales team were very nice and friendly so even I left positive reviews at this stage to get my extra months warranty. However, since the moment I picked up my car it had faults (a loud ticking noise on acceleration and I also found out a couple of days later a huge oil leak all over my drive - neither of which were present on the test drive). I took the car back to north West autos on 2 separate occasions to fix the faults - they could not diagnose the noise on acceleration and instead I was told by the aftersales team “it is probably just age and mileage related”, “just drive it and see if it gets any worse”, and finally “there’s nothing wrong with your car” (even after various members of the team and their ‘specialist’ agreed there was an issue). I was basically told to go away. I asked for my money back under the customer rights act 2015 and they refused. They told me they had at least fixed the oil leak, but they hadn’t and the car continued to leak oil at an alarming rate all over my drive. At this point I completely lost faith in north West autos so I had to take the car to my local garage to fix the faults - it cost me £217 which north West autos have refused to refund me. The car was in the garage 6 times within 3 weeks of me owning it. The faults also turned out to be directly related to works carried out by north West autos prior to me picking up the car (2 washers on the sump plug (it’s only supposed to have one), and no washer at all in the dip stick pipe which enters the sump) - no wonder the car was leaking oil! The noise on acceleration was caused by poorly positioned cable ties on the hand brake cables (which north West autos had replaced for me) hitting the prop shaft. It took a reputable garage to diagnose and fix this for me. They also used a ‘specialist off site mechanic’ to put a recon turbo in the car but refused to tell me who this was (they said it wasn’t my business to know - it turned out to be a body shop repair company nearby). They still haven’t provided me any paper work for the turbo replacement despite me asking several times. The only thing north West autos has done for me is to provide me with a replacement AA warranty so I don’t have to visit them again - however I am still £217 out of pocket to fix a car that they broke and my drive is still covered in engine oil. The aftersales is very poor and I would certainly not recommend anybody buying a car from this company.

reece adam from North West Autos Blackburn in response to Please avoid at all costs!!

Hi Sean, Sorry for the delay in response. I am shocked at your description of the issues you have had. I would like you to have been more honest in how you portrayed the service you have been given starting with the fact you test drove the vehicle which had been fully serviced and had a full 12 months MOT prior to you taking the vehicle. You then contacted us and I quote your words "I picked up my new car on Saturday 22nd October and was looked after by Jimmy from sales. Upon driving home I noticed that there was a ticking/tapping noise coming from the car only when you accelerate sharply that was not there on the test drive." Our response and i again quote you "I have spoken to someone from after sales who advised me to bring the car back on a week day for inspection however this is impossible for me without taking a day off annual leave (I work Monday-Friday in a hospital and annual leave is difficult at short notice). We have agreed that I can bring the car in on Saturday for inspection by your on site mechanic. Hopefully this is a simple fix, however if the vehicle does require to be worked on during a weekday I hope we can find a suitable solution that does not inconvenience me further." At no point were you not offered a solution to fix your vehicle. Following this you requested a free 3 months AA warranty to cover the inconvenience to which Ali went one step further and gave you 6 month instead to cover any expenses you may have incurred (£81.00) to show we go that extra mile when it comes to customer satisfaction. In response to this you claimed to have other cost which were never agreed (as you took it upon yourself to take the vehicle elsewhere without inspection or agreement with aftersales). You now tried devalue the cost of a £400 warranty which is over 4 times the cost of what you originally stated and asked for a refund. As a business we cannot agree to your unreasonable demands and I believe that a refund is the only solution you will be happy with and to discontinue any further issues please return the vehicle to NWA and as per CRA2015 and our terms and conditions we will buy back the vehicle less deduction as per your request.

Purchased a VW Transporter from North West Autos Blackburn, to convert to a campervan. The workshop guys have done a fantastic job in sorting out a new windscreen and other bits prior to collection. I am delighted with my new van and looking forward to tour the UK and Europe with it. The 3 month warranty is also fantastic as I had a little issue with the rear lock and they ordered a new part and fixed it with no fuss. You can buy with confidence.

Very relaxed experience. Acknowledged when entering told if we need any help to ask, but left alone just to look around at your own pace. No hard sell or annoying sales man following you around. When we were trying to chose between two cars Shami was great, very helpful with any Info we needed. Again we were left us alone to discuss which car we preferred. When ready to buy the car, again Shami was very welcoming and made the whole experience easy and was very helpful and honest. Will definitely be recommending to friends, great range of cars for all budgets.
