Came in to buy my first car and the experience couldn't have been better!
Both Jasmine and Arriz were so helpful and very nice!
Glad I chose to get my first car here as I couldn't have been any easy and straightforward, especially with the help of Jasmine and Arriz.

Safety Recall Cars
Bought a car from the company and when asked if it was subject to a safety recall I was advised it wasn’t. The first message I get on the cars app it states it’s subject to a safety recall. The problem is known throughout the industry. Sytner tried to defend their position by saying they checked the .Gov website…but they didn’t check with the VIN. They didnt check with the manufacturer. Sytner did offer to warranty the car till the recall was complete. The insurance company refused to insure the car as it was purchased with a safety recall on it. If Sytner had undertaken their due diligence this could have been avoided. There were further issues with the car with a rust patch on the door, a constant brake fault and a loose brake lamp all of which they had agreed to repair. All of these listed items show they don’t undertake the checks they claim to.
The company took payment quickly but 3 days down and the refund has not been received.

Dear Simon, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience. At the time of sale, our team carried out the standard checks available to us, including the Government recall database, which did not indicate an outstanding safety recall. We appreciate your comments regarding VIN-specific manufacturer checks and understand your concerns. As soon as the recall information came to light, we worked with you to find a suitable resolution. Although Ford advised that they were continuing to retail these vehicles, with the battery charge limited to 80% until the recall remedy became available, we understood that this did not meet your expectations. We therefore agreed to purchase the vehicle back from you to resolve the matter. Regarding your refund, we appreciate that waiting for funds to clear can be frustrating. Once a refund is processed, it can take several working days for the banking system to complete the transaction, depending on your bank's processing times. We regret that your experience did not meet the high standards we strive to deliver and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. We wish you all the best with your future motoring. Kind regards, Sytner Select Bristol
Ignored as soon as cash changes hands.
Sytner Select market themselves as the seller of hand picked used vehicles. But in honesty it’s a classic budget car supermarket with fast sales and woeful aftercare.
Purchased a vehicle from a completely clueless salesperson who despite knowing I was coming, had no knowledge on the vehicle at all and spent most of the time trying to upsell services I was clear that I did not want.
The car developed significant faults within 30 days which the warranty company refused to repair due to the fact that the issues would have been present on sale. Although Sytner offered to fix some (not all) of the issues I decided to return the vehicle as it had clearly not undergone any sort of quality assurance by Sytner and I had already wasted 9 days having the car at Volvo for inspection and repair.
The process of returning the car was terrible.
The salesman needed prompting 5 times to respond. When I was finally passed to the after care team, after initial communication I was ignored. I had to reach out repeatedly via email and phone to get a response over the space of a few weeks. When the after sales team did finally get back in contact they blamed the fact they had been on holiday….this happened three times. As unbelievable as this is, I suggest they learn how to use an out of office function.
When I finally managed to return the vehicle. My payment was delayed by 3 days longer than I was told due to “an accounting error”. This resulted in me losing a deposit for another vehicle I had put down to replace the shed I had bought from Sytner.
The car came with mismatched low budget tyres which were not fit for a performance vehicle, nor had matching tread depths.
Car was advertised with full key set but didn’t have all of them on collection.
In total I sent 6 emails that went unanswered and called the dealership 13 times with no answer even after being routed to the reception team who appear to be as non existent as the after sales team.
I’ll never use them again.

I’d strongly urge anyone considering buying from this dealership to think twice. The service is attentive and responsive right up until you’ve paid—after that, you’re largely ignored. The “warranty” they promote offers little real value when calls and emails go unanswered.

Avoid at all costs
Extremely poor after-sales service and zero accountability.
I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Sytner has been so consistently bad that I feel obligated to warn others.
The Service team is unreachable. I have spent entire days repeatedly calling the Service department with no answer, no call-backs, no updates. The only possible way to get through is to ask for Sales — which strongly reinforces the impression that once they have your money, after-sales support is under-resourced and unaccountable.
If you want to get a sense of the experience, just try getting in contact with the service department/ after sales team before actually purchasing a car and you will quickly realise what you are in for.
My car has been back nine times for the same repair, with a rotating list of excuses each visit:
• Parts not available
• Wrong parts ordered
• Parts still not arrived
• The team being “too busy” to do the work
These are pre-booked appointments only to be told the car wasn’t fix. A simple phone call that morning would have saved me wasting an entire day, but again, communication doesn’t exist.
Every visit requires taking time off work and arranging lifts — real cost and inconvenience — yet there has been no ownership or accountability for repeatedly wasting my time.
Icing on the cake.. I submitted a complaint and received an automated response stating I would be contacted within 48 hours.
That never happened. No follow-up. No explanation. Nothing. It perfectly sums up the experience: promises made, then ignored.
The overall impression is that this level of service has no internal consequence, so nothing changes. If you value your time, or expect basic communication and professionalism from a premium dealership, I would think very carefully before using this service department.
(But I can’t be too harsh as they still have my car! 3 months on, to change some brake pads..!)
