Arnold Clark Leyland

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Too many to list

Purchased a 54 plate Picasso on part ex from AC Leyland. Salesman agreed to rectify all dents and scratches, replace missing trim, valet etc. Before collecting asked salesman if all was complete - he assured me all the jobs we had discussed were done. When we picked up car (in the dark and the rain) nothing had been done and the car was filthy. Salesman apologised and said he would collect car from me and have work done. He eventually picked it up ...
...I phoned him, he told me all was done and I could collect the following morning. Collected the following day, half of work not done, was told they never had any intention of doing it and then charged for courtesy car! Would I recommend this shower - absolutely NOT. Do not go within a million miles of these sharks. ...

Wilsons Car Supermarket

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: They cannot be trusted and are dishonest

...wife a Toyota Yaris from Wilsons for £6000.00 in May. It was one disaster after another. Firstly the car I bought was up on their website at £5300.00 which eventually they reluctlantly honoured after bringing it to their attention. Then they said that they could not locate the log book as they had initially had sold the car to someone else. I was told he has failed to secure the finance on the vehicle and subsequently the car came back on site. ...
...book. I was offered compensation for all this by the salesman but the so called director (Rude bitch) refused to honour this. To add insult to injury they said that they would send off all the documents to the DVLA including the part I was supposed to send off. This never happened and I was fined £40.00 by the DVLA for failing to notify them that I ghad sold the car. They also never supplied the locking wheel nuts for the car and the car was involved ...

Review of Car Giant Car Supermarket

BE WARY OF BULLISH SALES AND PARALLEL IMPORTS

Advantages: Can't offer any I'm afraid - good deals to be had from standard dealers at moment
Disadvantages: can't be trusted - If you like gambling they're great.

Motorpoint Glasgow - nearly duped into buying Ford Fiesta 1.4 % Door Titanium. Be very careful before you buy a new car from motorpoint. Bullish sales tactics on phone - they will reduce deposit from £500 to £300 for you - a 'special deal'. The spec of the cars they sell are no where near that of UK cars. They use parallel imports (in this case, Malta). When I asked about spec they initally said that they 'couldn't guarantee' the final specification ...
...subject to deposit refund if spec vastly different. Car transported from Derby to Glasgow. I e-mailed them the UK spec and was then told it (the spec) was exactly the same 'except for the floor mats'. It turned out they had frankly lied to get me to view the car. I got to Glasgow to view car - Vastly different spec - Instead of Ford Fiesta Titanium it was more like Fiesta Style/Zetec. I would imagine they deal with all makes/models of car in the ...

Review of Motorpoint

Not a good place to buy a car!

Advantages: Price of the car was cheap.
Disadvantages: It took 3 attempts to get car driving properly. Horrible customer service.

I have just bought a car from CarGiant and found it an extremely stressful and unpleasant experience. Buying a car from Car Giant is not something I would recommend that anyone does. At one stage the “customer service” people were being so unreasonable when I made a request of them that I vowed that I would share how bad my experience had been with the widest possible audience unless they at least considered my request for some sort of refund for ...
...that anyone who buys from Car Giant does so with their eyes wide open. I’m posting this review in as many places as possible in the hope that everyone who needs to see it will see it and avoid the error that I made. I had read a few poor reviews of Car Giant before I bought, but not enough to dissuade me. I hope that this adds to the information out there to allow people to make an informed choice. My basic advice would probably be – don’t. My experience ...
