Brilliant service
We had a brilliant experience looking for our family car. When we walked in we was greeted by Luis and Darren, Darren knew what car would be great and reliable for us. From the time we had a look to when we picked the car up we can't fault anything. Would highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5* customer service and aftersales! Can't recommend enough!!
Me and my wife were looking at serval dealerships, looking for our next car. After having a terrible experience from another car garage, we checked the reviews and we were not disappointed. Micheal helped us from start to finish and made sure we were looked after even weeks from buying the car with any questions we had. The car is beautiful to drive and very happy knowing it has a new mot with no advisories and a service. We 100% recommend compact cars for their customer service and aftersales. Were looking to purchase a van in May and will be going back to purchase it from compact cars without any hesitation. Thanks guys!

Be aware when you buy from them loads of doggy cars , they sold me a Peugeot Partner reg AF60SBY and after 2700 mile 2 injectors blow up , send the car back with them and promise will be ready in few days but after everyone else from the store keep telling me different stories( do not say all this time I’ve been using a rental car as my kid was in the hospital and wasn’t enable to travel to him ) , car was rejected and they retained my deposit of 1100£ because I’ve done mile on the car and now they change they’re storie pretend I’ve changed the stereo unit and damaged the dashboard with the mileage , they retained for 3 weeks and damaged my brand new stereo , my dascam and more things missing from the car . Be aware of this company when you buy from them . Hope they enjoyed those 1100£ ! And the story will not end here !!! Do not say that they force you to give them 5 stars review before they handle the car … what a doggy company running after good reviews just the sale man to take his money … again be aware of what you buy from this company!!!!! Check the car 5 times if not you’ll cry after !!!!!

Our Investigation
To assess your complaint, we have considered the information you have provided and have contacted the supplying dealer to provide his stance on the deposit refund.
The dealer has confirmed, while you had the vehicle in your possession, you had covered over 3000 miles. The dealer also confirmed you had added modifications to the vehicle , which when removed caused damage to the dashboard. This is why the deposit was not refunded in full
