Excellent Service from Ben
Ben was extremely helpful and walked me through every step of the deal. I was allowed to test drive the car at my own leisure. I was given all the options ranging from just the car to the premium package. Ben even stayed in contact with me on his days off and reserved the car as soon as I was ready.

Not reputable.
I would advise caution when dealing with this dealership.
We paid a £200 deposit for a vehicle over the phone. At the time of payment, no terms were provided stating that the deposit was non-refundable. We had actually intended to proceed via Auto Trader’s £99 refundable deposit option, but were encouraged to pay £200 directly to them instead.
We agreed to collect the car on 14 March, however the dealership contacted us on 12 March to cancel as the vehicle was not ready due to required repairs. We have contemporaneous evidence of all this.
When we later requested our deposit back, we were told it was non-refundable, despite this not being mentioned or agreed beforehand. The salespeople were reasonable enough to deal with. But the manager rang back and was extremely rude saying we had wasted his time etc. We were then told that if we wanted the money, we would need to collect it in person. This approach felt intimidating and made us uncomfortable, particularly as my mother is an elderly woman.
Overall, this was a disappointing experience due to poor communication, lack of transparency around terms, and the vehicle not being ready as agreed.
Poor customer service
I purchased a car from Motortrust Garstang, and everything seemed fine until I made the full payment and expected a delivery date.
Unfortunately, 3.5 weeks later I was still without a vehicle and had no confirmed delivery date in sight.
Throughout this period I made 32 calls to the dealership, yet they only returned 4 of them. Communication was extremely poor, and I constantly had to chase for updates. Only the sales representative I initially dealt with ever provided any information.
The delays were repeatedly blamed on issues at their third‑party garage.
Week 1: I was told there was a backlog affecting the “128‑Point Check”.
Week 2: I was informed there was a problem with the mechatronics.
Week 3: This became a calibration issue and then a full replacement instead of a refurb.
I would have been perfectly willing to wait if these potential delays had been made clear upfront. However, none of this was communicated at the start, and the lack of transparency made the experience extremely frustrating.
In the end, I cancelled the order and requested a refund, which I did receive before the weekend. Interestingly, the car was relisted on their website the very same day I cancelled, which left me unsure what to believe about the issues they claimed.
Overall, the experience was disappointing due to poor communication, unclear processes, and repeated delays
