My new car

I recently bought a car at Serenity Cars, the service was amazing throughout. They make you feel welcome and allow you to look around yourself without feeling like you are receiving a pushy experience. They also gave me a gift box after my purchase which was a really nice touch! I am in love with my new car and couldn't recommend this dealership enough! Thank you so much!

Sorry I'm a bit late writing this....5 star

Sorry I'm a bit late writing this. I needed a car quickly and only had limited funds, Jason had a few cheap cars for me and I found one I liked and in budget, He pointed out it was a cheap trade car but still agreed to health check and mot the car. Honestly, they were all fab and I'd highly recommend them whatever your budget.

Got sold a car with hidden faults

I saw the car I wanted online; went in to view it; test drove it, fell in love with it. Decided to purchase it, when I’d had it a week or so I noticed it had issues such as one of the wing mirrors motors weren’t working; meaning the wing mirror remained inwards unless pushed out manually, secondly the reverse camera on the car wasn’t working, alongside an over sensitive parking sensor, I contacted serenity who were very helpful and booked me into a specialist who would take a look at the problem, the specialist were unable to fix the problem as they don’t have the device to recalibrate the parking sensor and they also can’t fix the reverse camera.
The car remains with the same faults that I need to pay for.
I was advised by serenity that I bought the car “as seen” on a “trade sale” so therefore there was nothing they could do, even though it is a safety issue as I cant get a full view of the road and I was NOT made aware of the issues before buying it as seen.
Be very careful with this company and be sure to check for any faults as the staff weren’t aware of the faults I don’t have much confidence in using their service again.
Having knew this, I would have bought a different car from a different company.
I will not be using this company again and will advise friends and family to not use this company. Very good at stamping out consumer rights and working there way around the blame.
I do have to say Jason from serenity was very sympathetic and apologised that they couldn’t do anything as it was out of his hands.

Great garage - no fuss

Saw the car we wanted, had a test drive straight away and decided to buy it. There was no hard sell and we weren’t there all day like you usually are in car sale rooms. The staff were lovely and really helpful and it was actually easy for once to buy a car without them having to go and speak to the Manager to get a better price and all that rubbish that you usually get from car salesmen. Would definitely recommend this company we are really happy with the car.

11 out of 10 service!

Couldn't speak highly enough of the guys from Serenity Cars. Brilliant service. Made to feel really comfortable from the off. No pressure and they put you at ease from the second you walk in. All cars are great quality and excellent price. They couldn't be any more helpful. I'd strongly advise anybody to use them and couldn't recommend them enough! Thank you very much again. I'm already in love with my Audi A5!

BMW 520D Touring

Recently bought a BMW 5 series from Serenity Cars and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the experience. Jason handled my sale and was very welcoming and not pushy at all.
Would definitely buy from them again in the future

First car - fantastic pre-sales service. Poor after sales service

Our daughter is over the moon with her first car from Serenity Cars! We told Ian what we were looking for and he found the exact spec. Fantastic service, great communication & the little gift hamper was a lovely touch. We’d highly recommend Serenity Cars, for a no pressure sale.

Updated 12th February as my post sales review appears to have been removed following me being called ‘spiteful’ by owner for leaving a factually accurate review of poor post sales experience which is non compliant with the consumer rights act resulting in me raising a dispute with the motor ombudsman

18th February
Your response is factually incorrect
Mechanical faults occurred within 3 months not 7 months, we’ve only owned the car 5 months this month, and as such what you refer to a bullying & blackmailing, I refer to as exercising my consumer rights

I would expect a car purchased for £5,000 to last longer than September to December

The offer to repair the cost was not declined, my daughter was told to pick the car up with the suggestion to get it repaired locally, which we did

I have never once threatened to leave poor reviews that is an outright lie on your part and at the time of your comments (5 hours ago) you already know that the motor ombudsman and citizens advice bureau have provided me with a letter which I have sent to you and you have read advising using an alternative dispute resolution service regarding the several repair bills we have had to date

Thank you for your original comments regarding the purchase — we’re genuinely pleased your daughter was happy with her first car and that you were satisfied with the buying experience.

Regarding the after-sales concerns raised several months later, we would like to clarify the situation for transparency.

The vehicle purchased was a high-mileage car (approx. 135,000 miles) and was priced and sold accordingly. An extended warranty was offered at the time of sale but declined. The vehicle was used without issue for several months before a fault developed.

Although the vehicle was outside any short-term dealer liability period, we still inspected it free of charge as a goodwill gesture and offered to carry out repairs at cost price to assist. Unfortunately, this proposal was declined and threats of poor reviews would be left by yourself if we didn't pay for the repairs. Unfortunately, we won't be coerced or threatened under these circumstances.

We always aim to help customers where reasonably possible, even well beyond the point of sale, and we believe our actions in this case demonstrate that commitment. We remain open to assisting further should you wish to proceed with the repair we previously offered, however we look forward to hearing the outcome of your ombudsman complaint.

Kind regards,
Serenity Cars

Superb Car Garage

This is an excellent car garage. They had a superb range of stock and were very knowledgeable about the different cars they had and their different features. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. A special mention to Jason for all his support and his non pushy approach.

Car was ready to go, even though they didn’t know I was coming.

Turned up without appointment and the sales team dropped everything for me. Coffee, test drive, advice about warranties and some great craic. The car I liked was ready to drive away so we did the deal, I got an excellent price for my car and a gift box and I away in my new Mercedes. Ian was brilliant and Jay was hilarious. Thanks again guys.

Sourced the exact car I wanted

I went into Serenity looking for a BMW 335/435d they had one in stock that looked great but I’d set my ❤️ on Blue with a red interior. Ian said leave it with him he would look to source one.

I didn’t really expect to hear anything back as it’s a fairly rare colour combination. However the following week Ian sent over pictures of a prospective vehicle matching my spec.

I’ve viewed the vehicle and pick it up next week. I couldn’t be happier! I’d highly recommend going and talking with the sales team at serenity even if they don’t have the exact vehicle you want on their website. Great work Ian 👍

I bought my BMW from Serenity cars

I bought my BMW from Serenity cars, Jason and Ian in sales made everything simple and easy. They also have a great coffee machine 😀. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a car they also offer part exchange which is very handy. Thanks Serenity 😊
