Thieving scum. One star is generous.

Absolute disgrace. Do yourself a favour and don’t ever purchase a vehicle from here. Blocked my number when I requested he fixed my partners car, this is not an isolated incident, please check trustpilot and you’ll see a review from someone else stating they have also been blocked.
He sold my partner an Audi TT with an air con compressor that didn’t work, claimed on warranty only to be told we’d still have to pay £212 , he couldn’t give a care in the world.
After 200 miles it seems both top mounts needed replacing, they were extremely worn and this should have been picked up.
Left her extremely upset on two occasions, once you’ve left the premises James and Harold Collingwood of JLC Motors Benfleet DO NOT CARE.
Also as a side note James tried to claim it’s “wear and tear” the warranty company won’t cover it - the car was sold with an autogroup wear and tear warranty!? I have the paperwork, he doesn’t even know what warranties he’s selling with the cars.
Even if it was “wear and tear” the consumer rights act 2015 states the product (car) must be fit for purpose for a reasonable period of time. James seems to think 200/300 miles is reasonable. So unless you want to be forking out over £400 less than 1 month after purchasing a car, please do not even interact with JLC Motors. You have been warned.
James seems to have flagged this review stating he hasn’t had a personal interaction with us. We can provide a bill of sale, bank statement and v5. If you want to run your business like a crook then don’t try and get people to remove reviews why they are honest!
I’m not the only person you’ve blocked!

Wow… Extremely shocked to read this review with its huge in-accuracies and lies!
There is two sides to every story, and here is ours.

Your Girlfriend (Jess Elphick) purchased a lovely little Audi TT from us. This was a 11 year old car with 88k and good history to go with it.
We MOT’d the car just before sale, to which the only advisory was the ‘front top mounts’.
6 weeks after purchase the ‘Air Con Compressor’ failed (wasn’t sold as broken) and a warranty claim was made, to which they agreed to cover the cost of parts and labour at £648.
Jess Elphicks issue at the time was that the part being used wasn’t an Audi part, even tho the warranty provider had explained that genuine parts only get fitted to cars with a maximum age of 10 years, and Jess Elphicks car was over 11 years old.

Jack Allen called us to explain that Jess Elphick wasn’t happy with the outcome of a full covered replacement (parts & labour) without a genuine part.
So as a ‘Gesture of Goodwill’ we contributed the extra amount (£182), transferred into Jess Elphicks account so a genuine part could be used. The job was carried out at zero cost to Jess Elphick.

Fast forward to 7 months of ownership, and Jack Allen calls again to let us know of a small knocking noise coming from the front of the vehicle. Jack has had it checked out and it’s the top mounts that were advised on the MOT carried out just before sale, which of-course is public information and not something that can be hidden.
Jack Allen then explained that the warranty company unfortunately wouldn’t cover the claim as the parts are ‘wear and tear’ items such as tyres, brakes and bushes and told us to pay for the repair of he would take us to court! (£140)

At this stage, we also couldn’t cover ‘wear and tear’ items after 7 months of ownership, and what I believe to be more than (Jack Allens) stated ‘300 miles’ of use over a 7 month period.
Because Jack Allen threatened us with court, we then instructed him to forward any correspondence to our solicitor, who would reply within 2 weeks. Jack Allen then got so abusive over the telephone, we had to block his number.

Jess Elphicks car started, drove, stopped and did exactly what it was supposed to do, and when it didn’t, (Air Con), it was fixed at no cost to Jess Elphick, but yet somehow we are apparently thieving scum?!

As a side note, I flagged Jack Allen’s review because Jack Allen had for some reason used my grandads name, who neither Jack Allen or Jess Elphick ever met, and has no involvement at all with JLC Motors.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent customer service!

Very helpful team of people who service Jaguar and Land Rover cars.
They excel at their role, and are excellent at delivering customer service- a real pleasure to deal with a great team of people.
Probably the best Jaguar/Land rover dealership within the M25 at least!
