Thomas Rodgers 5 stars
Thomas Rodgers was our sales guy today. He was very helpful and kind to my father who was buying a car. Simple process and yes they are busy but we didn’t have to wait to long. Quick turnaround from buying the car to driving it home.

I only went to have a look around
I only went to have a look around. Found the perfect car. Matt Kirby our sales guy was excellent no pressure on us and explained everything throughly. The whole process was very simple and quick. As the car I chose was already prepared within 1 1/2hrs we were on our way. And that delay was down to me sorting the insurance and tax out on the car.

First time buyer sale

I sold my kia through motormoola two tall handsome gentlemen turned up explained the whole procedure step by step. Sunny was very kind and informative and Bee was very gentle and knowledgeable about cars. He explained why I was not offered the full price as I have not mentioned the dmasges on my car. However I came to a good agreement with the garage all thanks to sunny and bee. I would definitely recommend them and onyx and motormoola as the best company to deal with and sell your car

Collection team the best not the reception team….
I just want to say a massive thank you to the collection team and a special thank you to Lottie! I didn’t meet lottie to the very end but she was so friendly, kind and showed a lot empathy as we had waited a long time to collect out car. She even cleaned the inside of the car as well. She is an asset to Hilton garage.
However, I wish I could say the same for the main reception area staff. They aren’t very approachable they leave you there standing while you are trying to get there attention. They are miserable and unapproachable. They seem to just flirt with other member of staff and not interested at all.
Please could give the feedback to the receptionist team.
Also give the feedback to lottie she is the best x

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback and for your 4-star review. We’re delighted to hear that Lottie made such a positive impression and went above and beyond to make your collection experience more comfortable, especially after the lengthy wait. We’ll be sure to pass your wonderful comments on to her — we know she’ll be thrilled to hear them.
We’re genuinely sorry, however, that your experience with our main reception team did not meet the same standard. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to feel overlooked or unable to get the attention you needed. This is certainly not the level of service we expect our customers to receive.
Your feedback regarding the reception team will be shared with the relevant management team so it can be addressed appropriately. We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as feedback like this helps us identify where improvements are needed.
Thank you again for your kind words about Lottie and for choosing Hilton Garage. We hope you’re enjoying your new car!

This is the second car i have bought at Hilton. The first was overfilled with oil. This was slightly annoying. This car was cheaper than the first and it was not a smooth transaction. When i placed a deposit the salesperson assured me there were two keys. On collection there was only one. When i queried this I was told they would find it if they had it. No second key has been found and post purchase communication is not great. I also did not appreciate waiting around for two hours for their bank to recognise my transfer of funds either. Having said that the cars were both competitively priced.

Rejected Vehicle - Very Poor Aftercare and customer service
I paid cash for a Kia Sportage 17 plate with 44250 miles 09/08/26.
The car developed issues with a squealing belt 15/08/24 they offered to have it in to look at 08/09/26. The car then developed further problems overtaking and lack/loss of power. 18/08/26. I called the garage to get it sorted. They offered 02/09/26. As I was concerned about the safety of the vehicle I decided to reject the vehicle. They collected it 19/08/26. I contacted them 20/08/26 for an update and possible time frames for refund. After speaking to one member of staff who was rude I was informed they have up to 14days to diagnose the faults and was told my vehicle wouldn’t even get looked at until 25/08/26. I called on that date to be informed 2 road tests had confirmed there were no faults. Then after putting the rejection in writing and highlighting the action I was willing to take the issue I reported suddenly manifested. I also raised the case with the Motor Ombudsman unfortunately the business is not a member.
I then I had to wait 2 days for the refund after a lot of chasing, which I’m happy to say was in my account this morning 26/08/26. I’ve been without a vehicle for 2 weeks. The aftercare service and lack of communication internally and with the customer is appalling. I’ve occurred additional costs and lost money on the 12mths tax I put on the vehicle. I would not recommend this business.

Have no option supposedly to pay credit…
Have no option supposedly to pay credit card so I had to pay 11.6k bank transfer and take the rest on finance only to pay the finance off when I got home. Seems dodgy, I had the means to pay it all but because for whatever reason they don't take credit card, I had to take out finance or not buy the car.
August 26, 2026
Reply from Hilton Garage
Matt, we do not accept credit cards — this is consistent policy applied to every customer regardless of purchase amount, and it is made clear whenever the question is raised. It is not specific to your transaction.
On the finance point — if you had the full amount available, a bank transfer for the total would have been the straightforward route. Taking finance and settling it immediately after collection is a choice, not something we required of you; you could have transferred the balance in full and avoided the agreement entirely. It is also worth noting that finance companies do not permit credit cards to be used to settle a finance agreement, so that route would not have been open regardless.
Regards,
Hilton Garage
