I bought a 2010 Alfa Romeo Mito priced at £5000, on viewing the car all seemed well apart from yellow colouring in the boot but they ensured me that the car had been stored in a damp area and after being valeted there would be no problem, it was just because it needed a clean. When picking up my car the yellow colouring had gone as I was told. Just over a month later it appear again, I called them a few times to let them know water was collecting in the bottom of my boot, every time they turned me away with feeble excuses eventually saying my warranty was over, there was nothing they can do but suggested I got a dehumidifier which I did. The problem got worse, I took the car to a local garage, they said that just by looking at the car they could see it had been in a crash and had the whole boot replaced and it hadn't been done properly or through the insurance hence why it didn't come up on the HPI checks, costing me a lot of money to fix before selling the car for significantly less.

I am really dissapointed in this company, make an agreement with the customer, do not follow through with the agreement and then refuse to give the deposit back (as was previously advised by the salesmen wouldnt be a problem) constantly chasing them to get any answer. The owner doesnt want to know, once theyve got some money the really couldnt care less. Extremely poor service, leave the car up for sale even though they claim this is the reason the deposit is not refunable. Mis-sold and taken advantage off. Would strongly advise anyone who is thinking of buying a used car to avoid this place completely.

I called and made arrange,ents to view and test drive a car this garage had advertised but when I arrived the nex morning the person I spoke with told me that they’d not had this particular model of car in, and that we’d actually spoken about a different car the previous evening! All very confusing and a huge waste of time 4hour round trip with no ownership or accountability taken by the person I saw at the garage. On arriving home, I saw that the vehicle that I’d wanted to buy was STILL being advertised as being for sale! I rang and spoke with another person who said that they had sold the vehicle I was interested in that morning. All very confusing and clearly the sales team don’t communicate with each other. I’d be very careful if you’re driving any distance to see a car here. Reall disappointing experience and I wouldn’t try again

Terrible experience with a car not fit for purpose, was advised car was CAT D side impact when in fact it was a full on collision, shoddy rebuild bolts loose that where meant to be secured on to the chassis rebuild, horn was put back on incorrectly for a garage that is meant to make sure car fit for the road then they got it so wrong with this car, after speaking to them regarding the list of faults they have an attitude of dont care, so id suggest thinking twice before purchasing a car from them

Poor communication, do not call back. We missed a weekend away. After nearly 3 weeks no car. Only positive from the experience was deposit refunded without hassle

Worst experience. When we got there they couldn't even be bothered to get up and show us any cars, just told us to look around ourselves. When we found the car we came to see they wouldn't let us test drive it until we agreed on a price. How would we know how much we are willing to pay if we haven't driven it? Since they couldn't be bothered to pull the car out until we came to a deal we left and found a great deal elsewhere. I wouldn't waste your time with these guys.

I should have been warned off when I was told that the car I'd come to look at had already been sold, and a deposit taken, but they were willing to sell it to me because I had the money to hand. Within a few days of driving my car, it became obvious something was wrong, however, I had to phone four times before their after sales manager would respond, and even when he was in the office, he wouldn't speak to me. Instead I was told I had to put my complaint in writing. When they responded to my letter, it was only to say that the issue wasn't their fault and if I complained again, they'd involve their lawyers. Nothing more needs to be said; they stalled as long as they could, made no effort to resolve the matter and then threatened legal action. They couldn't even deliver the car on time.

I arrived ready to buy Audi A6 S line , made my 300 mile trip for nothing as the car was not described as it should. The bumper was ripped off on one side and was not aligning. I was offered to have this repaired but if I knew that there was something wrong with the car I would not waste my time and money to go there. I did not even had a test drive. Excellent cars please remember that you are as excellent as your worst customer review!! Good things are: communication , nice place and easy access.

This customer deserves a full apology from us & we will reimburse them for any fuel costs they incurred - we don't sell retail cars with parts hanging off them - we do have a trade centre where cars that have come in as part exchanges are advertised from when they are not up to standard & this is where this car was from, our trade centre - this Audi is one of these part exchanges that a customer brought in to us when they purchased another car from us & that's why it was the cheapest in the UK & the reason it was in the condition it was in - we should have made this clear to the customer before they traveled, please accept our sincere apologies.

As soon as I got to Excellent cars, I felt a great vibe, the members of staff there were extremely helpful. I bought a beautiful convertible Peugeot Cabriolet. Very professional, honest and reliable car dealership.
