Total rip off company

Total rip off company, my faulty car from Berwick Tustain got returned after 4 months thanks to The Consumer Rights Act 2015. Charged me nearly £900 for "wear and tear" they then sold it for £500 less than I'd paid 4 months previously to some unsuspecting new customer so a nearly £400 profit. 6 owners in 25000 miles tells you a story. Avoid these and go to a reputable dealer.

Fantastic service

Arthur Renwick was the salesman I dealt with from the Ashington branch. He was helpful from the first handshake greeting in the car park. Nothing was too much trouble. He was so very helpful and made the whole experience very easy. He had a vehicle brought down from another dealership 50 miles away, with absolutely no pressure on me to buy the vehicle. As it turned out, the van was perfect. Arthur was a total professional throughout and he is a credit to Tustain Motors. This is now the second commercial van have purchased from Tustain and I will have not hesitation coming again should I need another van in the future.

Don’t trust what they promised

Don’t trust what they told you and their promise. They keep making nonsensical excuses. I don’t understand how a company like this can have 5-star reviews when they’re so dismissive of their customers. Are those reviews genuine, or are they paid for to inflate their rating?

Ive just bought my 4th Vauxhall car from Tustain garage in Ashington...John the sales guy could not have been more helpful, he did everything for me except pay for my car !.. he cancelled everything to do with my old car & set up everything for the new car.. I cant thank him enough, he made the buying process painless. If I could give him more reveiw stars I would ..I couldnt believe how quick the process of buying a car was, from looking at used cars one day to driving one away the next..Ive now used this garage for 26 years & wouldn't go anywhere else.. All of the staff Ive interacted with have all been very helpful & professional, from the sales team to the lovely lady on reception...Thanks again..

Unreliable, arrogant, rude

Tustain Motors bought my car in Carwow auction but never bothered to show up to collect the car. This is despite numerous calls and emails to reach the company. Eventually, I managed to reach somebody on phone who rudely stated that the phone number they had got was wrong. I double-checked and all the contact details provided were correct.

Tustain Motors

Tustain Motors, Cramlington.
5 ***** Stars and beyond ………

A seamless, stress-free vehicle exchange.

Monday morning, my old car's warning lights flashed at me!
This led me to my first visit to Tustain Motors, Cramlington.
I spoke to the Service Manager, full of sorrows now, I feel.
A short walk across the showroom to the Sales Executive, Marc, to see.
In an hour, a car was found.

On Tuesday, I viewed a 2019 Corsa 1.4, and a sale was soon agreed.

Thursday, I drove my old car in. Another hour seamlessly slipped away; the deal was complete.
One very happy owner in his Corsa 2019 was homeward bound.

***** Five stars and beyond ……..

Sold my car to Tustin

I recently sold my car to Tustin. We dealt with Michael and he was fantastic! He made the whole process simple and easy for me. He kept in contact all the way through and was happy to answer any questions I had. I would happily deal with Tustin motors again!

The lady bug new car

Last month I purchased a ford focus from tustain in cramlington. However due to a change in my physical health I needed a car that I could get in and out more easily. After speaking to Michael I had a new car within a week. Loving my new car who is now called lady bug. I would recommend anyone to visit tustain in Cramlington, even if you are just looking around, Michael listened and showed he understood my needs. There is plenty of choice at affordable prices. Thank you

Speedy follow up

I submitted an enquiry via the chatbot on the Tustain Alnwick website. Within five minutes of pressing the submit button I received a telephone call from one of their salesman Kieran Bowell. I arranged a test drive the next day and bought the car Kieran had sourced for me in another depot and brought to Alnwick for me. Kieran was about the fifth salesman I had dealings with in my search for a new car and he was the only one that I really felt comfortable with and really felt he appreciated my requirements. No question was to stupid. Excellent experience.

I took my elderly father to Cramlington…

I took my elderly father to Cramlington branch as he had to sell his car for health reasons, and we had the good fortune to be dealt with by Michael. He was very helpful, patient and sensitive to my father’s situation, and he gave my dad a competitive offer for his car, which we were happy to accept. He was a credit to the company, and I will certainly deal with Tustain motors in future.

Michael was really helpful

Michael was really helpful. Went out of his way to find me the right car. So pleased with my choice. Felt that nothing was too much effort.
Try and get him if you're there as he is so good at what he does.

6 weeks to fix vehicle

Weren't taking on new customers but squeezed me in for various reasons. Took around 6 weeks to fix the ignition on my vehicle. They could not source the parts & ended up getting them from ebay, despite another garage saying that they could get them in two days. When I collected it, they then asked me to give a 9 or 10 rating in a review, despite all this & very rarely calling me with an update. Needless to say, thank you for fixing it, but I won't be rushing back.

Can't Recommend Haddington Highly Enough

Bought my new car from the Haddington branch earlier this month, and couldn't be happier with my experience.

The salesman Colin and manager Jimmy were top class. Extremely helpful in assisting me in choosing a new car and answering any questions I had.

Cannot recommend the team at Haddington highly enough.

Went to pick up a car from tustain in…

Went to pick up a car from tustain in berwick from Scotland. 17k bm. Full price was paid as there was no trade in. Car wasn't prepared properly,polish still over the windows and plastics. Car needs a polish with a machine as paint is rough and covered in swirl marks. Msport decals looked as if they had been cut with a bread knife! Salesman said, oh never noticed that must have been last owner, this was both sides of the car. Took the car for a test run to notice it had 20mls left in the tank! Really 17k for a car and 20mls in the tank. You would think that as they got £350 on top and there finance consultants got £1800 from the finance company they would have put some fuel in knowing i was going back to Scotland basically sign there and there's the keys bye. Worst experience of buying a car. If you do buy one from them sort your own finance as you will end up paying more than you needed to. I personally wouldn't recommend buying from them as customer service is really bad
