From the very first contact with Matthew at Acklam Car Centre it was obvious that I was dealing…read morewith a professional company. After several conversations over the phone I was confident I would be buying from the right people. So confident that I decided to travel the 8hr round trip to purchase the car, and I was not wrong. I was greeted with a warm welcome and thanked for travelling the distance. The car was well prepared and exactly as described, ready to go and was in showroom condition. To conclude, this was the best car buying experience that I have ever had and would not hesitate in purchasing another car in the future.

Went up from Yorkshire to look at a used corsa I'd seen on autotrader from this company. 1st…read moreimpressions weren't good looked a bit arfur Daly to me but we'd drove an hour to get there so we went to view the car. All in all the car wasn't to bad for the age and price bodywork reasonable interior excellent so we arranged a test drive with some guy in an old hut in the yard. He gave us the key and off we went. This was to be my sons 1st car so I drove so to spot any faults not that I'm a mechanic I don't know a clutch from a big end! On returning to the yard I told the guy about a lot of pulling to the right possibly tracking and very poor brakes. Apart from that my son liked the car so we showed an interest in buying. I agreed a £150 payment extra on top of the price for the tracking to be done and a fresh 12 month mot so any major safety faults would be sorted. We shook hands on the deal and agreed to return in 5 days to collect the car. On our return we collected the car from Davenport cars just up the road from the discount motor company same company I think. I test drove the car and the steering was better still not 100% but a lot better. The car had been valeted with some car mats added and an interior valet so very clean. We went to pay the balance in a little hut where you could only pay £250 by card as that's all the machine would accept so it was cash or bank transfer for the rest we paid cash. This guy came across as northern Del Boy and assured me everything was OK. He gave me the v5 reg document as well as corsa handbook with a 3 month warranty from warranty 2000 probably worthless but hey you never know hopefully we won't need it. He gave me a receipt for payment and a copy of a basic mot certificate which didn't look genuine to me but he said that the DVLA were updating them online. We shook hands and left for Yorkshire with my son driving his new car home. I couldn't help but feel I'd been done over on this deal probably a stolen car or never been mot just scammed so I was a bit on edge. After 4 weeks with the car I've decided to write this review because since we bought the car I've had the new reg document back from DVLA with everything ok no outstanding finance etc I've checked the mot with yes a new online system like the man said and to my shock the car had new brakes new brake pipes light switches 2 tyres and various other bits which failed on the 1st mot and we've had no problems whatsoever touch wood with the car so after thinking the worst with this company I've got to say they were brill for us and did everything they said they would so sometimes you shouldn't judge a book by its cover and these guys deserve a good review

Bought my new (well to me!) car from here in November 2008 and after trailing round loads of…read moregarages in the North East called in here on the off chance despite being put off by the name. Was so pleasantly suprised, the salesman (Phil) did not apply any pressure or play any games, had done a fair bit of research so knew I was getting a good deal. When I decided to buy the car they put it in for MOT, valet and organised the tax all the same day and it was ready for me the next. After a quick look round I saw the car I wanted so did not compare deals on others however there appeared to a a wide range from approx £1500 up over. I also paid for the car so can't comment on finance packages available but given the name of the garage I am guessing this would not be a problem. Next time I need a new car (hopefully not for a few years or I may revisit my review!) this place will be my first port of call.

Bought a Renualt Megane Cabriolet in May 2015. Bought here before in 2006 and that ran on for miles…read morewithout any issues. My new car was exactly as described and I drove it to Spain and back which was 3945 miles. The team at direct corrected every fault with the car before I bought it without quibble. They were helpful, attentive and pro active. I cannot more highly recommend my purchase which is still running perfectly some 5 months later. Would I recommend again, yes I would. Two cars and both perfect with no issues. Some people have criticised their customer relationship but I cannot. Bottom line is that I bought cheap, got a fantastic customer assistance and walked away with a great deal. Maybe I was lucky but I don't doubt their integrity.
