An unassuming car dealership with top of the line service…read more We had been looking for a new car for a while and in the process went to several different dealerships. We met a lot of stereotypical car salesmen who tried to push us into dodgy sales. When we visited Cowgate it was immediately different - the salesman who helped us was honest and straightforward, as well as being very friendly. We were immediately happy with the car and experience. Fast forward about a week after picking up the car and we discovered that one of the keys was corroded. Having been quoted about £200 from a Volkswagon garage, we contacted Cowgate. They asked us to post the key to them and had it fixed and returned within 48 hours, for free. We both agreed that Cowgate definitely exceeded service expectations!

I can't advise more strongly against buying from this company. We bought a car from them, and…read moreshould have taken the warning that when we first picked it up, they couldn't locate the V5. They eventually found it (with the owners brother allegedly) and we took the car to find the damaged window and light that they promised to repair were not repaired, to make up for this they gave us a 3 month warranty (more on that to come). We took it to our families usual service centre to get serviced before driving down to the midlands, where they discovered the brakes were completely corroded. There was no way those brakes should have passed an MOT, but we decided if that was all, we'd fox them and just get on, as contacting Tay Cars and getting a response would take longer than we had due to having to move. Unfortunately, after doing that job, it was also discovered that the engine mounting brackets needed replaced, at a cost of 250 each, plus labour, and there are 4 of them. We left that for the time being, but were obviously quite upset about this. A week later when we had moved to the midlands, we noticed the air suspension was low and wouldn't adjust, plus when driving, i could see a green light reflecting on the dashboard with no apparent source of the light. Upon close inspection, i found electrical tape on the display, which when removed, revealed the engine warning light on, plus two suspension fault lights. I had this looked at and was told the air pump needed replacing, at a cost of 1200 for the part alone, not to mention labour. I contacted the warranty company who informed me the warranty only covered up to 500, however, due to the electrical tape, they considered the fault to be preexisting, therfore, not covered anyway. I spoke to citizens advice who said i was within my rights to return the car, or demand they pay for the repair, whichever Tay Cars would rather do, but of couse, as is the case all along, they didn't answer my calls, so i emailed them. After 3 or 4 emails, someone replied saying the manager was on holiday til the 27th, bear in mind, i first tried calling them on the 10th. After repeated calls and unanswered emails, we had to spend more money on another car as this one was by this point undrivable. We EVENTUALLY recieved an email from George on the 31st saying the were not going to do anything and they refuted what i had said. We are still trying to resolve this, in September, when we bought the car in July! All i can say is, Tay Cars are the perfect example of a shady used car dealer, they sell crap, and take zero responsibility, avoid at all cost!
