Honest review make sure you are happy before taking the car as aftercare is shocking

Honest review – make sure you are 100% happy before taking the car, as aftercare is appalling

When we first visited to look at cars, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They even provided a large umbrella due to the typical Tameside weather, and we were given a free hot chocolate to warm up. Unfortunately, this is where the good service ends.

After choosing my car, I was asked for a £500 deposit. Given the current cost of living, I couldn’t stretch to that and instead offered £100. I was made to feel like this was a “weak” deposit, which was quite uncomfortable, although they did eventually accept it.

The car needed some bodywork — scrapes on both the front and rear bumpers and a dent in the roof. I was assured this would all be sorted, along with the MOT, and was given an estimated completion date. This date was pushed back twice, but I didn’t mind as I wanted everything done properly. In total, they had the car for 15 days after I paid my deposit.

Finally, collection day arrived with an 11:00 appointment. We turned up to find the car still had the same damage — nothing had been done. The salesperson greeted us confidently, saying the car was ready, but when we pointed out the issues, he blamed the service department and admitted he hadn’t checked the car himself in those 15 days.

I then asked about the MOT, and again was assured it had been completed — only for a senior member of staff to confirm that it hadn’t been done either. In fact, nothing had been done at all.

At this point, I’ll admit I felt worn down after waiting so long and agreed to take the car anyway, trusting them to arrange the MOT and repairs afterwards.

I then had to chase them myself to book everything in, despite being told they would contact me. To be fair, the salesperson did come to my house to collect the car for the MOT and returned it afterwards, but without any paperwork. I was told this would be emailed to me, which again didn’t happen — I had to chase it up.

Over a week later, I still hadn’t been contacted about the bodywork, so I had to call yet again. This time, I had to take time out of work to drop off and collect the car myself. As a gesture of apology, they put £30 of fuel in the car.

Overall, I feel that as soon as the sale is made, customer care disappears. The aftercare was honestly shocking, and I had to repeatedly chase for things that should have been handled proactively.

I know my name is Karen — and I never once acted like one — but I do feel my patience and politeness were mistaken for weakness.

If you are going to buy a car from here, my advice is simple: make sure everything is 100% complete before you take it, because once you do, getting anything sorted afterwards is a real struggle.

Hello Karen,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience, particularly the lack of communication and organisation you encountered after your initial visit.

While we’re pleased you felt welcomed at the start, it’s clear we did not maintain that level of service. The delays, incomplete preparation of the vehicle, and the need for you to repeatedly chase updates are not acceptable, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

We would also like to clarify that our standard deposit of £500 reflects industry practice, as it allows us to confidently reserve a vehicle and remove it from sale. However, this should always be communicated respectfully, and we’re sorry if this made you feel uncomfortable.

Your review has been escalated to senior management and is being taken seriously as part of an internal review to improve our processes and customer care.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re sorry we did not meet your expectations.

Best wishes,
Laura Gilchrist

Poor aftercare

Overall great sale process, salesman was really helpful, came into work on his day off just to finalise the sale then I could have my new car.

It is the aftercare and customer service that is shocking. As a part ex-change motor rage will pay off my previous finance company (redline) and I am now with Blackhorse finance with my new car. After purchasing & receiving my car I have had a payment come out of my account from my previous finance company. I rang them asking why this was as I sold my car 2 weeks ago. She informed me that the loan was very much still with myself for £9,500 and motor range had not made a payment to pay this off which she informed me should usually be done within 2 days of selling the car and to contact motor range as this is unusual. I stated that I would cancel my direct debit and she informed me not to as it’s in my name currently so it will effect my credit score if another payment try’s to come out. all other cars I have perviously sold this has been done immediately. So I currently still have 2 loans in my name with 2 separate payments coming out of my account in the same month. I have been trying to contact motor range for days to try and resolve this to get it paid as I want my extra payment refunded just to be told several times “we will ring you back”, passed from person to person. This call never comes, I am getting no help with this what so ever, now the sale as gone though they don’t want to know.

I will be escalating this further if another payment comes out an I am not refunded the extra payment as I can not afford to pay for 2 desperate loans that equals to around £600 per month when motor range should have cleared this before another payment got taken!

Hello Georgina,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

It’s great to hear that you were happy with the sales process and that our team member went the extra mile to support you. However, I’m very sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced following your purchase, particularly regarding your previous finance agreement.

I completely understand how concerning and frustrating this situation must be and I sincerely apologise for the difficulty you’ve had in getting a response from our team.

For clarity, in most cases finance settlements are processed ahead of the settlement date provided by the finance company.

Please could you email me at laura.gilchrist@motorrange.co.uk directly with your full name, vehicle registration, and a contact number? I will personally escalate this to our Finance Team and ensure it is looked into as soon as possible, and that you receive a prompt update.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and I’m sorry for the stress and inconvenience this has caused.

Best wishes,
Laura Gilchrist

I am writing to formally raise a issues regarding the customer service

I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding the service my daughter received during her recent interactions with your dealership.

Firstly, she was sold car protection and informed that she could cancel it at any time. However, when she later attempted to cancel, she was told this was not possible. This is misleading and unacceptable.

Additionally, my daughter brought her car in for an MOT, during which she was informed that the wheel locking nut was missing. When she contacted Motor Range, she was told that the missing nut was noted on the sheet. My daughter then questioned how the brake and tyre checks were conducted without removing the wheels, and the response she received was that these checks were done visually. This explanation is deeply concerning, as it raises serious questions about the thoroughness and reliability of your safety checks.

This level of service, particularly towards a young woman purchasing her first car from a dealer, is appalling and unacceptable. I expect this matter to be investigated thoroughly and a resolution provided promptly.

I look forward to your response.

Miss sold warranty and poor customer service

Purchased a 3 year old car in August 2025, since purchase I have had nothing but issues. I was sold a 12 month warranty at the time of purchase for £600, upon contacting Mortor range Ashton with the issues I was told I could take the car to any VAT registered garage. When the car could not be fixed I was told by the receptionist Chloe that I should have brought the car to Motor range to be fixed, this option was never given to me at the time! The car has had to go to Renault to have 3 separate electrical faults fixed. Renault informed me the car had a 5 year warranty and I did not have to spend a penny with them. Motor range therefore miss sold me a product and are now ignoring all emails regarding a refund for the miss sold warranty. Bought my previous car from the Ashton site back when it was the car people and never had any issues, the same can not be said for the service I have received from Motor range.

Absolutely pathetic experience with…

Absolutely pathetic experience with this place. I got a new car which when I viewed had some minor damage, I was promised this was fixed but as the car got delivered to me at 9pm after a 12 hour shift I didn’t think to check this as I’d been promised it was repaired by the sales person. Next day I seen it was still broken, rang them straight away and had to jump through hoops, it took me 2 weeks to actually get someone to acknowledge the car needed fixing. To top it off they kindly gave me the key to a completely different car sat on the forecourt aswell. I’ve waited near 2 months to get it booked in for repair, was told it’ll be a 1 hour job and I can wait, I’ve driven 1 hour after a 12 hour night shift to be told it’ll be 5 hours, I explained I can’t just walk home and I’m after a night shift and was met with “you can wait or rearrange”. Given the fact it was a 1 hour drive I didn’t fancy wasting any more fuel and didn’t want to spend anymore time in here. They also paid the settlement figure of my old car late meaning I was paying for 2 cars for a month. I will never be shopping with this place again, I’d rather just get the bus everywhere…..

Calm, helpful purchase

Very low pressure sale, able to browse the car I was looking at. Options were provided thoughtfully and Paul's advice was genuine and helpful.

He explained all the steps he needed to do, such as finance, but there was no pressure to take up any offer. It really was being informed of our options without pressure.
