Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Customers consistently praise the staff for being professional, welcoming, and helpful, making the car buying process easy and stress-free. Many appreciate the personalized touches, such as gift hampers, and the absence of pushy sales tactics, which contributes to a smooth and efficient transaction.

A few other people also felt that the company's focus might be more on pushing finance products rather than genuinely selling cars.

I was dealing with Ryan who was great guide and helped me choose perfect car for my girlfriend.
They stock plenty of cars from different classes and price ranges. Spot on customer service and after sale support.

Disappointing Experience

I found an Audi E-Tron for sale on Fish Motors’ website that was the exact specification I had been searching for. I contacted them and spoke with Ryan to get more details. It was clear from the photos that a few parts were missing, so I made an initial offer £600 below the asking price. Ryan declined. A few days later, I increased my offer to £300 under asking, which was again rejected. Fair enough, they’re entitled to refuse offers.

What really disappointed me though, wasn’t the refusal, but what came next. After another two weeks of searching and still not finding another car with the same spec, I decided to bite the bullet and offer the full asking price. That’s when the experience took a sharp turn.

Ryan asked how we intended to pay, and once I said we had our own finance arranged, he suddenly added a £399 admin fee, something that had never been mentioned in any of our previous conversations. This felt like nothing more than a punishment for not using their in-house finance.

Trying to be reasonable, I had my finance provider contact Fish Motors directly. They confirmed they weren’t charging Fish any fees, yet Fish Motors still refused to budge on the £399 charge. So, despite being ready to pay the full asking price, a deal wasn’t made.

To make matters worse, I watched the same car sit unsold on their site for just 1 week before they dropped the price by £800. That speaks volumes. If they were willing to cut £800 off the price later, it’s hard not to see their refusal to deal with me, a serious buyer, as stubborn and unprofessional. It leaves you wondering whether they genuinely want to sell cars or just push their finance products.

In the end, I bought a better car from a different dealer who was transparent, respectful, open to negotiation, and didn’t tack on shady, last-minute fees.

Avoid Fish Motors. In my experience, they’re inflexible, lack transparency, and make the buying process unnecessarily difficult. If you’re looking for honest, straightforward service - look elsewhere.

A truly amazing garage

A truly amazing garage. Highly recommend. Had an issue with my car that I bought, they’ve been so accommodating and fixed it. Gave me a courtesy car. Nothing was too much, and always dealt with politely. Thank you

Scam artists

I purchased a Peugeot 2008 from here in 2023 and within 3 weeks the clutch had gone. A few weeks after that the dpf needed completely replacing (not cleaning) and 2 months after the dpf replacement it was the serpentine belt plus 2 further visits to a mechanic. All in all there were £4700 worth of repairs needed doing in the first 5 months of purchasing and when I spoke to the garage after the clutch I was told it was wear and tear so nothing they could do. I later found out through a main dealership who took a good look at it that it had clearly been in an accident and badly repaired but this never came up on checks so clearly was unreported. Avoid these people at all costs.

Superb service and after-sales support. Found a small crack in windscreen a couple of days after buying car. They sent someone round to fix for free, no questions asked, then checked after to make sure I was happy with the job. Happy customer
