Bought a rear climate control digital panel for an L405 Range Rover. Part was exactly as described, in perfect condition and works perfectly. A big saving over a brand new part. Arrived really quickly... See more

No Integrity - Shameful Unprofessional Behaviour
Bought and paid for an airbag kit tag 0000913081, I was advised by a message the following day 'unable to locate in warehouse' by Georgie and my order was cancelled.
The same airbag kit (identical serial numbers) was then relisted for a further £200. I then discovered I was now 'blocked' as a buyer on their eBay account.
Having spent many many thousands of pounds with this company over many many years I am simply dumbfounded.
What drives someone to simply tell fibs and then block me as a buyer? Would you rather not have an honest conversation?
The honesty/credibility with such behaviour is most worrying when all these years they have happily taken my money and I have happily received what I bought.
A real shame if this is indeed what Charles Trent has become.... There are plenty of alternatives out there Synetic, ASM, Silverlake to mention but a few.
I would hope someone has the courage to own up to their poor despicable standards of behaviour and address their shortcomings.
I am happy to remain sharing my views within the trade if you feel making this right is not worth the bother.
I am always available and don't block anyone!

RUGBY AVOID
This has to be the worst company ever. They have the worst customer service skills known to man. Spoke to some woman over the phone think her name is Emily. She needs to learn how to speak to customers will not be using this company again.... AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Bad service for a first time customer
Wife received a call 8th Feb to confirm pick up on 9th Feb for my vehicle to which she said she would contact me to find out where I was going to put the vehicle for easy pick up as it doesn’t run. She phones me I phone Trent’s to give them the location only to be told my 9th Feb collection was cancelled and moved to 17th Feb. So taking a days holiday was waisted loss of earnings and having to put it in storage for a week because of insurance being cancelled

Brilliant customer service
As my car was uneconomical for me to repair I went through Motorwise who put me in touch with Charles Trent. Their quote was very reasonable but most impressive was the customer service I received from Caroline J. Caroline became my single poc and was incredibly professional, honest & personable. I would recommend Charles Trent based on my interactions alone but I'd also add that the end to end process was simple & easy.

Professional and friendly service
Today, I sold my old car to Charles Trent & Co. The man who collected my old car was likable, efficient and professional. I'm impressed and would recommend. They paid a good price for the car, too, and payment arrived on the same day.

Excellent company
Excellent company, called to scrap my car. They were polite helpful and collected it a few days later as agreed. I also helped a neighbour a few days later to scrap their car as well with CT. Both times the service was excellent and they where extremely patient. Will be using them again soon as they also offered the best price for car disposal. Great company and would recommend to anyone looking to scrap a car.

The All team at Charles Trent.My first time using then and it was the perfect experience.
You simply fill out the form of what part you need and then sit back and wait. To my delight, the part was found. I purchased it and the invoice was sent promptly. Very simple, effortless and much better value for money than buying a new part.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Charles Trent again, highly recommended. Excellent to deal with, and a very helpful staff to have at your garage. Many thanks, Mr Robert Parker.
