We had an excellent experience buying and part exing cars with Sytner Select Cardiff, specifically Shinay Ali. Shinay was extremely helpful throughout the process and made it hassle free. Will definitely be looking to use again in the future

Appalling experience
Appalling experience—unsafe driving, condescending staff and unrefunded charges.
I purchased a Renault Clio from Sytner Select Cardiff in May, and the entire process was a nightmare from start to finish.
Unrefunded Charges: I was double-charged the reservation fee due to a faulty payment link sent by Liam Jones. Despite raising this multiple times over the last three weeks, including via the dedicated section on their website, I still haven't been refunded.
Reckless Test Drive: Our salesperson, Darius Nejad, drove dangerously during the test drive. He was speeding, driving one-handed, and even took a phone call on his mobile while at the wheel.
Terrible Customer Service: The handover took an agonising four hours. Darius spent the whole time bragging about his sales skills, while the manager, Les Berry, was deeply patronising—literally putting on a childlike voice to read FCA documents and aggressively pushing overpriced warranties.
Zero Aftercare: A tyre pressure warning light came on during my drive home. I texted Darius about the car issue and my missing refund, and I have been completely ignored.
Save your time and money. Go to a dealership that respects basic driving laws and its customers.
Edit: 16/06/2026
The dealership’s response below perfectly illustrates exactly why you should avoid this business. Instead of taking accountability, they have attempted to publicly gaslight me, deny my experience and even invent details about my life to excuse their staff's behaviour.
The Duplicate Payment: They claim no duplicate payment was received. My bank statements clearly show the money left my account, and I have now been forced to initiate a bank chargeback because they refuse to investigate properly.
The Reckless Driving: I know the difference between a smartwatch notification and a salesperson physically holding a mobile phone, driving one-handed, and doing 48mph in a 30mph zone. Their refusal to take a severe safety issue seriously is alarming.
Fabricated "Rapport": They claim our agonising wait was actually "rapport-building" regarding my background in "furniture sales." I work in finance and have never worked in sales. They clearly did not listen to a word I said and are simply making things up to excuse the salesperson.
Blame-Shifting: They suggest I shouldn't have proceeded with the sale if I was unhappy, and that I used the "wrong channels" to report my tyre issue. Darius literally texted me to ask how the car was—I replied reporting the fault and asking for my refund and was ignored.
If you buy a car here and something goes wrong, expect complete denial, fabricated excuses and zero accountability. I am actively pursuing my chargeback and will be reporting Sytner Select Cardiff to the Motor Ombudsman.

Good afternoon Georgie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to learn that you remain dissatisfied with your experience. We take all customer concerns seriously and have carefully reviewed the points raised in your review. However, we would like to clarify that, although your feedback suggests that a refund has not been processed, our records show that a second deposit was never successfully processed. As discussed with you previously and supported by the documentation provided, no duplicate payment was received by us. We would therefore respectfully ask that you review your bank account records, as advised during our correspondence, to confirm the status of the transaction. We are also concerned to read your comments regarding members of our team. However, following a review of the matters raised, we do not agree with all aspects of your account. Having discussed your concerns with Darius, he has confirmed that he did not answer or engage in a phone call whilst conducting the test drive. Calls are notified via a smartwatch and, whilst a notification may have been received, our understanding is that no call was accepted during the journey. We have found no evidence to suggest that a mobile phone was used whilst driving. With regard to your comments about discussions during the appointment, our understanding is that conversation took place around your respective sales backgrounds, including your experience within furniture sales. We are advised that the discussion was intended as general conversation and rapport-building rather than self-promotion, and therefore does not align with the impression conveyed in your review. Whilst we appreciate that perceptions can differ, it is disappointing to learn that you felt the sales and handover process fell below your expectations. We would note that, throughout the purchasing journey, opportunities were available to raise any concerns, and the transaction ultimately proceeded following the test drive and vehicle presentation. Whilst we fully respect your right to reflect on your experience afterwards, our investigation has not identified concerns at the time that would have indicated the level of dissatisfaction described in your review. With regard to the tyre pressure warning light, we would have been more than happy to assist had this been brought to our attention through our aftersales channels. Customer satisfaction remains important to us, and whilst we do not agree with several of the assertions made within your review, we remain committed to providing support to our customers and addressing any genuine concerns raised. Thank you again for your feedback. Carl Harris Head of Business

Frustrated car buyer
Have contacted this company in an attempt to buy a car. Only get an automatic response from Sia their digital assistant. Would prefer to speak to a person to negotiate a reasonable part exchange value in the first instance. This would prevent a 180 mile round trip. The Sia digital assistant is frustrating, it provides annoying automated replies rather than addressing the questions. Two weeks down still haven’t heard from a person. I think a sales prevention team would do a better job. Sadly a sale opportunity missed.

Dear Mr Walker - I would like to apologise for the frustration caused by our digital assistant, Sia, and for the lack of personal contact regarding your enquiry, Sia is a very efficient AI bot that can answer all questions, at the point this is not the case or if requested Sia will pass on your detail and discussion topic to a member of our Team, Sia operates 24 hours a day to ensure any customer questions can be answered outside of normal working hours, i am sorry your experience was not what we would hope. I understand that we have made contact with you through Liam Jones, our Sales Manager, at this point and your Porsche RS60 Spyder was discussed as a potential part exchange. To move forward with the transaction, you required a valuation that was above the current market value. Whilst your vehicle is undoubtedly a rare and desirable example, we were unfortunately unable to meet your valuation expectations, I am naturally disappointed that we could not achieve the figure you were seeking. Please be assured that a part exchange forms an important part of the overall transaction, and it is never our intention to undervalue a customer's vehicle, as doing so would only hinder the opportunity to complete a successful sale / purchase. Should I be able to assist you further in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Kind regards Carl Harris Head of Business

Joga is the man!
Joga is the man! For someone so new to the business, you honestly wouldn’t think it. He was knowledgeable, professional, and kind throughout the entire process of buying the vehicle. He kept me constantly updated via email and phone, made sure all previous MOT advisories were fully repaired, and even arranged a full valet and a bag of goodies. Absolute top man.
I would have rated Sytner 5 stars as well, however due to the brake light failing just an hour after collecting the car, I can’t quite give the full rating
