I had to wait 3.5 weeks to get my deposit back
I left a deposit for a car. A few days later I was informed they could not sell it as it had mechanical issues. I said fine, please refund me. A few days later, I was told the refund had been processed. 9 days later, I haven’t received my refund so I had to call them. They said to fill in a complaint form and they will look into it and process refund. This then took another two weeks. All in all, 3.5 weeks to get my refund. They send you long emails explaining and trying to justify the delay. Stop all this nonsense and try to be professional. All this headache to get my money back as you couldn’t sell the car to me. Very disappointing and poor level of service if you want to call it service!

Hi Syed,
Thank you for your review. We’re sorry that your refund experience did not meet the level of service we aim to provide.
Once it was confirmed that we were unable to proceed with the vehicle sale, your deposit refund should have been handled more smoothly, and we understand why the delay caused frustration.
Your complaint has been reviewed, and we can confirm the refund has now been processed. We have also recorded your feedback internally so we can improve how refund updates are tracked and communicated going forward.
A member of our Customer Experience Team will be in touch with you shortly. to discuss this further.
Thank you,
Chris - Customer Experience Manager

Not the best customer service
I visited this garage today to view a car I was potentially interested in purchasing, but unfortunately the experience left a lot to be desired, having driven an hour to get there to see the car.
As soon as I arrived, the focus seemed to be on my current vehicle rather than the car I had come to see. I was asked for my keys so they could assess my car before I had even been allowed to view the vehicle I was interested in.
I explained my budget and asked whether there was any flexibility on the figures. I was told there wasn’t, which is fair enough, but I was then effectively asked to confirm that I could make the finances work before I had even seen the car. I wasn’t asking for a test drive, just a chance to look around the vehicle so I could decide whether it was worth pursuing and potentially increasing my loan amount.
When I asked to see the car, I was told it would take 20–25 minutes to prepare, and there seemed to be little interest in showing it unless I could first commit to the numbers. I was also greeted with “Oh, we thought you weren’t coming until 3,” which immediately made me feel as though I was inconveniencing them. I even said to them I don’t mean to waste anyone time when the manager came over to discuss. I just felt like an inconvenience.
Overall, I felt pressured and unwelcome rather than valued as a potential customer. Buying a car is a significant financial commitment, and most people would reasonably expect to be able to view a vehicle before being asked to commit to funding it. As a result of the experience, I decided not to proceed and I did not see the car. I just wanted to leave.
